Intel and DARPA look to AI and machine learning to boost graph analytics in big data - TechRepublic

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will officially begin collaborating with Intel on a computing platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to make it easier for businesses to utilize graph analytics in big data, the pair announced on Monday. The partnership is an expansion of DARPA's Hierarchical Identify Verify & Exploit (HIVE) program. The HIVE program is working to "develop new technologies to realize 1,000x performance-per-watt gains in the ability to handle graph analytics," according to a press release. Graph analytics focus on the many-to-many relationships in data, giving insight into multi-layered, indirect relationships in those datasets, the release said. Graph analytics are also helpful in gleaning insights from large and complex datasets.
