IBM Research Lead Charts Scope of Watson AI Effort
Over the past few years, IBM has been devoting a great deal of corporate energy into developing Watson, the company’s Jeopardy-beating supercomputing platform. …
Over the past few years, IBM has been devoting a great deal of corporate energy into developing Watson, the company’s Jeopardy-beating supercomputing platform. …
We have been convinced for many years that machine learning, the kind of artificial intelligence that actually works in practice, not in theory, would be a key element of the next platform. …
Although the future of exascale computing might be garnering the most deadlines in high performance computing, one of the most important stories unfolding in the supercomputing space, at least from a system design angle, is the merging of compute and data-intensive machines. …
It is almost without question that search engine giant Google has the most sophisticated and scalable data analytics platform on the planet. …
In 2011, the United States launched a multi-agency effort to discover, develop, and produce advanced materials under the Materials Genome Initiative as part of an overall push to get out from under the 20-year process typically involved with researching a new material and bringing it to market. …
Supercomputer maker Cray might not roll out machines for deep learning anytime in 2016, but like other system vendors with deep roots in high performance computing, which leverages many of the same hardware elements (strong interconnect and GPU acceleration, among others), they are seeing how to loop their expertise into a future where machine learning rules. …
Training ‘complex multi-layer’ neural networks is referred to as deep-learning as these multi-layer neural architectures interpose many neural processing layers between the input data and the predicted output results – hence the use of the word deep in the deep-learning catchphrase. …
After close to twenty years at IBM, where he began as an IBM Fellow and Chief Architect for the SOA Foundation, Rob High has developed a number of core technologies that back Big Blue’s enterprise systems, including the suite of tools behind IBM WebSphere, and more recently, those that support the wide-ranging ambitions of the Watson cognitive computing platform. …
It is hard to find a more hyperbolic keynote title than, “A New Computing Model” but given the recent explosion in capabilities in both hardware and algorithms that have pushed deep learning to the fore, Nvidia’s CEO keynote at this morning’s GPU Technology Conference kickoff appears to be right on target. …
At the dawn of the cloud computing revolution, the winners were determined in their ability to rule with an “iron” fist (the hardware) but over the next ten years, we will see that having an iron-fist basis for rule is far easier than ruling with nuanced, multi-layered intelligence–and it takes a special kind of leader to do that. …
