NVIDIA's AI advance: Natural language processing gets faster and better all the time ZDNet

When NVIDIA announced breakthroughs in language understanding to enable real-time conversational AI, we were caught off guard. We were still trying to digest the proceedings of ACL, one of the biggest research events for computational linguistics worldwide, in which Facebook, Salesforce, Microsoft and Amazon were all present. While these represent two different sets of achievements, they are still closely connected. Here is what NVIDIA's breakthrough is about, and what it means for the world at large. As ZDNet reported yesterday, NVIDIA says its AI platform now has the fastest training record, the fastest inference, and largest training model of its kind to date.
