At some point in the not-too-distant future, pairing depth-sensing cameras with artificial intelligence will enable computers to truly understand the physical world — a vision researchers and companies have spent years working to transform into reality. Today, open source computer vision library OpenCV announced that it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary with a global competition designed to…
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) wants to help national governments understand their AI compute demand needs. As part of the work, the multinational economic policy group is creating a task force that draws together data from a range of…
Nvidia launches certification program for AI platforms
January 26, 2021
Nvidia today launched a formal certification program for systems based on graphical processor units (GPUs) deployed in on-premises IT environments by its OEM partners. The Nvidia-Certified Systems initiative comes at a time when AI models are starting to be both trained and…
Poor or uncategorized raw data can be a major impediment for enterprises that want to build high-quality artificial intelligence that has a meaningful impact on their business. Organizing unstructured data such as images and audio can present a particularly daunting obstacle in this regard.
Today, Paris-based Kili Technology unveiled its service that allows enterprises to annotate raw data such as…
In machine learning, mel-filterbanks — fixed, hand-engineered representations of sound — are often used to train algorithms that classify sound. Decades after the design of mel-filterbanks, research shows that they exhibit desirable mathematical properties for…

In the past, reviewing large stacks of documents was a mind-numbing chore for junior attorneys — a process that could literally consume months of multiple employees’ lives. But innovations in artificial intelligence have enabled Cortical.io to automate the document review process with software, and the company today announced a new version of Contract Intelligence with accuracy and speed…
AI Weekly: The Biden administration, algorithmic bias, and restoring the soul of America
January 23, 2021
This week, Joe Biden made his case to the American people about how to restore the soul of America and talked about “what we owe our forebears, one another, and generations to follow.”
Biden chose to run for president in reaction to the white supremacist rally in…
A recent paper from the Center for Applied Data Ethics (CADE) at the University of San Francisco urges AI practitioners to adopt terms from anthropology when reviewing the performance of large machine learning models. The research suggests using this terminology to…
VAST Data and Nvidia today unveiled a reference architecture that promises to accelerate storage performance when servers based on graphical processor units (GPUs) access petabytes of data.
The reference architecture is intended to make it simpler to integrate all Flash storage system dubbed Lightspeed with DGX A100 servers from Nvidia. That effort should yield more than 170GB/s of throughput for…
