In this contributed article, editorial consultant Jelani Harper discusses a number of hot topics today: computer vision, data quality, and spatial data. Computer vision is an extremely viable facet of advanced machine learning for the enterprise. Its utility for data quality is evinced from some high profile use cases. This technology can produce similar boons for other facets of the ever-shifting data ecosystem.
Recent Results Show HBM Can Make CPUs the Desired Platform for AI and HPC
November 4, 2022 by
Third-party performance benchmarks show CPUs with HBM2e memory now have sufficient memory bandwidth and computational capabilities to match GPU performance on many HPC and AI workloads. Recent Intel and third-party benchmarks now provide hard evidence that the upcoming Intel® Xeon® processors codenamed Sapphire Rapids with high bandwidth memory (fast, high bandwidth HBM2e memory) and Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions can match the performance of GPUs for many AI and HPC workloads.

Pioneers in Deep Learning to Receive ACM Turing Award
March 27, 2019 by
Today ACM named Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun recipients of the 2018 ACM Turing Award for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing. “The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing,” carries a $1 million prize, with financial support provided by Google, Inc. It is named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundation and limits of computing.”
AI for Pharma R&D – Creating Anti-cancer Drugs Faster, Reducing Process from Years to Days
June 27, 2018 by
The costs and process of developing anti-cancer drugs has been an extreme challenge for decades. Today one company, AccutarBio, is harnessing the power of AI to accelerate drug discovery and reform the current “hit-to-lead” drug discovery scheme. The company recently received $15 million in funding (including money from Chinese AI/facial recognition company YITU) and is now partnering with Amgen.
