Microsoft on Monday released a white paper explaining a current effort to run convolutional neural networks — the deep learning technique responsible for record-setting computer vision algorithms — on FPGAs rather… Read more »
Facebook on Friday open sourced a handful of software libraries that it claims will help users build bigger, faster deep learning models than existing tools allow. The libraries, which is… Read more »
Provo, Utah–based sales automation company InsideSales has always been interested in applying data analysis to mountains of sales data. After delivering on this mission last year, the company is now ramping… Read more »
A robotics startup called Neurala has received a patent (No. 8,648,867) for a GPU-based system designed to run artificial neural network models. The patent covers the physical architecture of the system, which… Read more »
This post from the MIT Technology Review discusses how Google used deep learning to recognize houses numbers and make Street View more useful (the research paper it cites is here). It’s… Read more »
Facebook has hired deep learning expert Yann Lecun from New York University to head up its new artificial intelligence lab. It’s part of a bigger push along with — and against… Read more »
Dropbox acquired computer vision startup Anchovi Labs and its Ph.D. founders in September 2012 to very little fanfare. But the skillset they bring could be integral as Dropbox seeks to grow… Read more »
The days of the cold call might be gone for salespeople. Actually, the days of the not-too-promising call might soon be gone, too. On Tuesday, a company called InsideSales introduced a… Read more »
A group of researchers from Stanford has been working on deep learning models that can make sense of whole sentences at a time, and has recently trained its models on a… Read more »
Google has released another paper showing off the power of its deep learning techniques for text analysis. It shows how models can detect similar usage of words across different languages, meaning… Read more »
