Slidecast: Dell EMC Using Neural Networks to “Read Minds”
November 17, 2019 by
In this slidecast, Luke Wilson from Dell EMC describes a case study with McGill University using neural networks to read minds. “If you want to build a better neural network, there is no better model than the human brain. In this project, McGill University was running into bottlenecks using neural networks to reverse-map fMRI images. The team from the Dell EMC HPC & AI Innovation Lab was able to tune the code to run solely on Intel Xeon Scalable processors, rather than porting to the university’s scarce GPU accelerators.”
