Google Debuts LaMDA 2 Conversational AI System and AI Test Kitchen

At its annual developer conference last week, Google announced the second release of its conversational AI system, LaMDA, which stands for Language Models for Dialogue Applications. Google says LaMDa 2 is a more finely t Read more…

Nvidia CEO Touts a ‘Million X’ Speedup in AI

A decade ago, Google talked about “thinking in 10x.” Whether it’s Moore’s Law or the current rate of inflation, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has one-upped his fellow Silicon Valley technologists by thinking in mil Read more…

New Machine Learning Tool Flags Risky Remedies

Sometimes, treatments can make things worse – but it can be hard to know when that is (or isn’t) the case. Such is the case with sepsis, which kills nearly 270,000 annually in the United States – and which can, sad Read more…

Fake Data Comes to the Forefront

The lack of data historically has been a limiting factor in the development of predictive models. But with the advent of automated methods to generate skads of synthetic data, or what some call “fake data,” the lack Read more…

Intel Acquires Model Optimizer SigOpt

Intel Corp. is acquiring AI optimization software vendor SigOpt, a move the chip maker said would complement its existing AI software portfolio while integrating SigOpt’s tools with its AI hardware to accelerate and sc Read more…

Real Progress Being Made in Explaining AI

One of the biggest roadblocks that could prevent the widespread adoption of AI is explaining how it works. Deep neural networks, in particular, are extremely complex and resist clear description, which is a problem when Read more…

AI Can See. Can We Teach It To Feel?

We've made great strides in the field of computer vision, to the point where self-driving cars equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively "see" their surroundings. But can we teach AI to "feel" something Read more…

Common Sense Makes Progress with Deep Learning

We've witnessed incredible progress in the capability of deep learning models to not only understand text, but to generate it too. While the generated text is grammatically sound, the actual meaning of the words leaves s Read more…

Will Neural Nets Replace Science Writers?

“Researchers have developed a new representation process on the rotational unit of RUM, a recurrent memory that can be used to solve a broad spectrum of the neural revolution in natural language processing.” The s Read more…

Accelerating Neural Network Design
