As artificial intelligence continues to evolve and grow, so must the hardware we use to power AI. During his keynote address at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference this week, Facebook vice president and chief AI scientist Yann LeCun discussed the next step for reaching AI’s potential: shifting away from GPUs and moving more towards dedicated chips. … continue reading
Google has proposed a new approach to natural language understanding architectures beyond a fixed-length context. Transformer-XL aims to make long-range dependence more practical in neural networks by using attention models. According to the company, long-range dependence is the contextual ability humans have to parse information that depends on something they’d read much earlier in a … continue reading

DeepMind, an artificial intelligence firm that is now under the Alphabet umbrella, has developed differentiable neural computers (DNCs), which can learn from examples like neural networks, but can store complex data like actual computers. When DeepMind designed DNCs, it wanted to have machines that can form and navigate complex data structures on its own. Inside … continue reading
