Summary:
This talk will provide an overview of current trends in machine learning computer design concepts with an emphasize on challenges and opportunities facing this field. Some of the traditional computer design ideas that are now being applied to machine learning will be presented. Deep learning has emerged as one of the most promising research fields in artificial intelligence. The significant advancements that deep learning methods have brought about for large scale image classification tasks have generated a surge of excitement in applying the techniques to other problems in computer vision and more broadly into other disciplines of computer science. The phenomenal growth of machine learning is positioned to impact our lives in a way that we have not been able to fully imagine in the near future. This talk will also cover some of the key areas that AI has the potential to revolutionize.
