LF Deep Learning Foundation Debuts to Advance AI Usage

The Linux Foundation is continuing to expand its scope, announcing the launch of the LF Deep Learning Foundation on March 26. The goal of the LF Deep Learning Foundation is to make it easier to adopt and deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies for industry-specific use cases, including cyber-security threat detection, network automation and image recognition. The LF Deep Learning Foundation is backed by Amdocs, AT&T, B.Yond, Baidu, Huawei, Nokia, Tech Mahindra, Tencent, Univa and ZTE. The initial project at the core of the LF Deep Learning Foundation is Acumos, which was announced in November 2017, though few details were publicly disclosed at the time. The Acumos project integrates code contributed by AT&T and Tech Mahindra to enable organizations to more easily deploy AI models.
