CoCoPIE: A software solution for putting real artificial intelligence in smaller spaces

Bit by bit, byte by byte, artificial intelligence has been working its way into public consciousness and into everyday computer use. Artificial intelligence and deep learning have been deeply woven into more and more aspects of end-user computing. Smartphones and other mobile devices use AI as well. Up until now, the artificial intelligence work has been done in the cloud, but a new approach to software design aims to arm mobile devices with real artificial-intelligence capability. "A mobile device is very resource-constrained," explained William & Mary computer scientist Bin Ren.
