Intel Labs Enables AI Innovation with Hardware-Aware Automated Machine-Learning Tools

Nilesh Jain is a Principal Engineer leading intelligent infrastructure and systems research at Intel Labs with a focus on visual/AI applications. The exponential growth of AI in every industry, from social media to drug discovery, has created a scaling challenge. Specifically, there is a need to design AI algorithms that map to disparate underlying AI platforms that can deploy efficiently and operate optimally. The adoption of automated machine learning (AutoML) is gaining momentum as major industry players implement automated solutions for every stage of development through to deployment. However, current AutoML technology only addresses half of the problem because it focuses only on automating the design of AI algorithms.
