[Another] Deep Learning Hardware Guide

#artificialintelligence

So, you've decided you want to purchase a machine dedicated to training machine learning models. Or, rather, you work in an organization where the buzzwords of this guide are constantly thrown around and you simply want to know a bit more about what they mean. This isn't a terribly simple topic, so I've decided to write this guide. You can discuss those terms from various angles, and this guide will tackle one of them. I'm Nir Ben-Zvi, a Deep Learning researcher and a hardware enthusiast from early middle school days, where I would tear computers apart while friends were playing basketball (tried that too, went back to hardware pretty fast). In the past few years I got to consult some friends on building deep learning machines for companies of various sizes, and ultimately decided to put that knowledge into this guide. Today I work for trigo, doing some Deep Learning and Data. A lot of the knowledge for this guide came from the decisions made towards building our first deep learning machines. Some parts of this guide are kept despite being way out of date.


Is sustainable deep learning possible?

#artificialintelligence

Not surprisingly, researchers are working on new methods with a view to reducing the carbon footprint of these machines. In June, American company OpenAI unveiled the world's largest text generator. Called GPT-3, the new artificial intelligence (AI) model can, among other things, write creative fiction and translate legal jargon into plain English, two functions that have been achieved using deep learning. However, above and beyond these technological breakthroughs, it is important to bear in mind that the creation of this new tool generated an enormous amount of pollution. The extent to which deep learning and computing are polluting is often overlooked. A recent study by the University of Massachusetts has shown that the training of a deep learning machine, which can take several hours or even days, can produce up to 283,000 kilograms of greenhouse gas.

Executive Mandate #1: Become Value-Driven, Not Data-Driven

#artificialintelligence

I hate it when I hear senior executives state that they want to become data-driven, as if somehow having data is value in of itself. Now, one can hardly blame the unenlightened executive whose only perspectives on data are associated with statements like "Data is really the new oil" (Wall Street Journal) or "The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data" (The Economist). The infatuation with "data-driven" versus "value-driven" can be confirmed from Google Trends (Figure 1). However, this is where the value determination of data and oil diverge. Oil has value as determined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Building My First Deep Learning Machine

#artificialintelligence

First of all, myth busted: the 1080 Ti can run minesweeper effortlessly. The machine did restart itself once for no obvious reasons after the proprietary GPU driver was installed. Back to the topic… Here is some R code for fitting a "wide and deep" classification model with Tensorflow and Tensorflow Estimators API. The model is fundamentally a direct combination of a linear model and a DNN model. The synthetic data has 1 million observations, 100 features (20 being useful) and is generated by my R package msaenet.


Build a super fast deep learning machine for under $1,000

#artificialintelligence

Check out the in-person training session, "Deep Learning with PyTorch," at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York, April 15-18, 2019. Best price ends January 25. Yes, you can run TensorFlow on a $39 Raspberry Pi, and yes, you can run TensorFlow on a GPU powered EC2 node for about $1 per hour. And yes, those options probably make more practical sense than building your own computer. But if you're like me, you're dying to build your own fast deep learning machine.


The Pivotal Differences between Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - TFOT

#artificialintelligence

Technology and machines are evolving at a blistering pace. Whether it be multimedia devices, driverless cars, or medical advances, the world continues to evolve and change at a speed never before seen in the history of technological advances. At the nexus of these amazing leaps in understanding are the concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Though they seem similar on the surface, there are some distinct differences that must be pointed out. It is the intention of this work to do just that.


A Deep Learning Machine On Azure From The App Marketplace

#artificialintelligence

I've run a lot of machine learning/A.I. projects as toys, and even a few not very complex ones in production. Normally they run on the CPU, and in only one instance did I use a GPU ... the projects simply didn't require it. Sometimes however, you come across something you need to try out, and it needs a STONKIN BIG MOTHA of a machine to really get its teeth stuck in. I had to do that recently and found the quickest way to get started was to spin up what I needed using the pre-configured Azure Deep Learning environment, then drop it when I was finished. This article walks through the process that is actually rather pleasantly simple.
