Video: Deep Learning for the Enterprise with POWER9

Sumit Gupta from IBM gave this talk at H2O World. “From chat bots, to recommendation engines, to Google Voice and Apple Siri, AI has begun to permeate our lives. We will demystify what AI is, present the difference between machine learning and deep learning, why the huge interest now, show some fun use cases and demos, and then discuss use cases of how deep learning based AI methods can be used to garner insights from data for enterprises. We will also talk about what IBM is doing to make deep learning and machine learning more accessible and useful to a broader set of data scientists, and how to build out the right hardware infrastructure.”

Anaconda Open Data Science Platform comes to IBM Cognitive Systems

Today IBM announced that it will offer the Anaconda Open Data Science platform on IBM Cognitive Systems. Anaconda will also integrate with the PowerAI software distribution for machine learning and deep learning that makes it simple and fast to take advantage of Power performance and GPU optimization for data intensive cognitive workloads. “Anaconda is an important capability for developers building cognitive solutions, and now it’s available on IBM’s high performance deep learning platform,” said Bob Picciano, senior vice president of Cognitive Systems. “Anaconda on IBM Cognitive Systems empowers developers and data scientists to build and deploy deep learning applications that are ready to scale.”
