4. Here are the “Top Five” stories highlighting how AI and Deep Learning are accelerating innovation … 4

5. 1 Baidu Open Sources Deep Learning Platform The Chinese tech giant has open sourced one of its key machine learning tools, PaddlePaddle, offering the software up to the global community of AI researchers. This move has become common among tech firms as they pour more and more resources into their AI work. Open sourcing your tools is a good way to attract talent, but it also allows companies to shape the development of a field that's becoming increasingly central to consumer tech, underpinning everything from voice interfaces to auto-sorting photo galleries.

6. 2 How Machine Learning Will Evolve Data Science Machine learning by definition is the ability of a machine to generalize knowledge from data— call it learning, or induction if you like… the increase in machine learning usage more broadly in many different industries will be a catalyst to push data science to increasing relevance. Machine learning is only as good as the data it is given and the ability of algorithms to consume … moving forward basic levels of machine learning will become a standard requirement for data scientists.

7. 3 UC Berkeley Creates Artificial Intelligence Graders The GPU-powered AI approach has proven highly effective, based on initial returns. In a blog post published on the Gradescope site in June, company co-founder Pieter Abbeel, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Berkeley’s AI Lab, said he used an early version of the company’s AI-boosted grading feature for a computer science final given to more than 600 students. The early version cut grading time by 75 percent. READ MORE Watch the VIDEO for a detailed explanation of Gradescope’s technology NVIDIA Blog Article 7

8. 4 Shop For Items By Just Snapping a Photo with Deep Learning Computer vision and image recognition, aka the ability to show a computer a picture of something and have it tell you what it is seeing, has been befuddling researchers for years. In the past decade, however, it has taken enormous leaps forward thanks to deep learning neural networks. With a new startup called Grokstyle … has developed a state-of-the-art algorithm that is more accurate than any competing system at recognizing objects within a picture and then linking them to real-world items for sale.

9. 5 Deep Learning Assisting Pro Football Coaches “AI will revolutionize sports,” said Alan Fern, a computer science professor at Oregon State University who is using game videos and AI to teach computers to understand and coach football. If Fern is successful, teams would boost their brainpower with a new type of assistant coach – one powered by GPUs and a branch of AI called deep learning. It could supply strategic insights that might elude even the savviest coach. READ MORE Learn more information on Deep Learning applications HERE NVIDIA Blog Article 9
