Understanding Convolutional Neural Networks

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a class of deep, feed-forward artificial neural networks most commonly applied to analyzing visual imagery. The architecture of these networks was loosely inspired by biological neurons that communicate with each other and generate outputs dependent on the inputs. Though work on CNNs started in the early 1980s, they only became popular with recent technology advancements and computational capabilities that allow the processing of large amounts of data and the training of sophisticated algorithms in a reasonable amount of time.

Some of the applications of CNNs include AI-based virtual assistant, automatic photo tagging, video labeling, and self-driving cars. This blog assumes that you have a basic knowledge of neural networks. You can also check out Introduction to convolutional neural networks, which covers everything you need to know for this post.

Teaching Computers to Answer Complex Questions

Computerized question-answering systems usually take one of two approaches. Either they do a text search and try to infer the semantic relationships between entities named in the text, or they explore a hand-curated knowledge graph, a data structure that directly encodes relationships among entities. With complex questions, however — such as “Which Nolan films won an Oscar but missed a Golden Globe?” — both of these approaches run into difficulties.

Speak to me: How voice commerce is revolutionizing commerce

We’ve seen profound advances in technology, especially with the development of artificial intelligence and deep learning which are increasingly for voice assistants. This, in turn, promises to bring about huge changes in consumer behavior — what’s being called “voice commerce”. This is a new channel, governed by a new set of rules.

First Programmable Memristor Computer

Michigan team builds memristors atop standard CMOS logic to demo a system that can do a variety of edge computing AI tasks Hoping to speed AI and neuromorphic computing and cut down on power consumption, startups, scientists, and established chip companies have all been looking to do more computing in memory rather than in a processor’s computing core. Memristors and other nonvolatile memory seem to lend themselves to the task particularly well. However, most demonstrations of in-memory computing have been in standalone accelerator chips that either are built for a particular type of AI problem or that need the off-chip resources of a separate processor in order to operate.
