The Second Coming of Neuromorphic Computing
Just a few years ago, the promise of ultra-low power, high performance computing was tied to the rather futuristic-sounding vision of a “brain chip” or neuromorphic processor, which could mimic the brain’s structure and processing ability in silicon—quickly learning and chewing on data as fast as it could be generated. …

Technical Debt Could Leave Machine Learning Bankrupt
There has been a resounding uptick in attention around machine learning, but with relatively few large-scale systems in production (and even fewer public stories about progress and roadblocks), the wider story is all about the potential and dramatically less about the possibilities for problems. …
