AI, Deep Learning, and Life Sciences: Poised for Take Off

By Dick Weisinger

Andrew Ng, founder of Google Brain, former chief scientist at Baidu, and current adjunct professor at Stanford, said that “in the tech world, progress tends to happen slowly and then very quickly. I think we’re still in the progress-is-happening-slowly process…

Data Poisoning: Machine Learning Susceptible to Manipulation by Hackers

By Dick Weisinger

Data poisoning is the alteration or manipulation of Machine Language (ML) training data. While the amount of data changed may be small, it may be enough to both avoid detection and to bias the algorithm into favoring a particular result.…

Artificial Intelligence: Advancing from Optimizing Win Positions in Chess to Semiconductor Chip Floorplanning Placement

By Dick Weisinger

Chip designers are turning to artificial intelligence to help both speed up the chip design process but also make chip designs more efficient. AI has been very successful in solving and winning board game challenges, like Chess and Go. The…

Artificial Intelligence: Impetus for Both Hardware and Software Innovation

By Dick Weisinger

The widespread use and success of artificial intelligence is driving developments in hardware and software that can improve and optimize the AI process. On the hardware side, GPUs have become the preferred processor to use when implementing AI algorithms. Compared…

Systems of Systems: Symbiotic Swarms of AI

By Dick Weisinger

Swarms of drones. Banks of sensors operating on the edge. Autonomous vehicles and robots. These are all examples of independent systems working together cooperatively that need to perform some action or at least be able to work in ways that…
