Minje Kim, an assistant professor of intelligent systems engineering at the School of Informatics and Computing at IU Bloomington, has received a gift from Intel to pursue a method of lowering the power and computing cost of deep learning processes in artificial intelligence. Intel sought a portfolio of research projects focused on compelling new human-computer interaction advancements that have HCI on the precipice of a breakthrough. As smart devices have become more ubiquitous, advances in deep learning have allowed AI to reach a near-human level. Deep learning allows complicated intelligence jobs -- such as computer vision, near real-time language translation and music recognition to be performed quickly, but such computing comes at a cost. Because neural networks present each of the millions of parameters of a computation in up to 64-bit forms, the computations required are both sizeable and hungry for power.
