“Just as electricity 100
years ago transformed
industry after industry
after industry, I think AI
powered by deep
learning will now do the
same.”

Baidu Open Sources Deep Learning Platform
The Chinese tech giant has open sourced one of
its key machine learning tools, PaddlePaddle,
offering the software up to the global community
of AI researchers. This move has become
common among tech firms as they pour more and
more resources into their AI work. Open sourcing
your tools is a good way to attract talent, but it
also allows companies to shape the development
of a field that's becoming increasingly central to
consumer tech, underpinning everything from
voice interfaces to auto-sorting photo galleries.

Machine learning by definition is the ability of a
machine to generalize knowledge from data—
call it learning, or induction if you like… the
increase in machine learning usage more
broadly in many different industries will be a
catalyst to push data science to increasing
relevance. Machine learning is only as good as
the data it is given and the ability of algorithms
to consume … moving forward basic levels of
machine learning will become a standard
requirement for data scientists.

The GPU-powered AI approach has proven
highly effective, based on initial returns. In a
blog post published on the Gradescope site in
June, company co-founder Pieter Abbeel, an
associate professor of electrical engineering
and computer science at Berkeley’s AI Lab,
said he used an early version of the company’s
AI-boosted grading feature for a computer
science final given to more than 600 students.
The early version cut grading time by 75
percent.

Computer vision and image recognition, aka the
ability to show a computer a picture of something
and have it tell you what it is seeing, has been
befuddling researchers for years. In the past
decade, however, it has taken enormous leaps
forward thanks to deep learning neural networks.
With a new startup called Grokstyle … has
developed a state-of-the-art algorithm that is more
accurate than any competing system at
recognizing objects within a picture and then
linking them to real-world items for sale.

“AI will revolutionize sports,” said Alan Fern, a
computer science professor at Oregon State
University who is using game videos and AI to
teach computers to understand and coach
football. If Fern is successful, teams would
boost their brainpower with a new type of
assistant coach – one powered by GPUs and
a branch of AI called deep learning. It could
supply strategic insights that might elude even
the savviest coach.
