What Google\u2019s new open-source software means for artificial-intelligence research<\/a><\/strong> — from chronicle.com by Ellen Wexler<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Google wants the artificial-intelligence software that drives the company\u2019s Internet searches to become the standard platform for computer-science scholars in their own experiments.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Google announced it would turn its machine-learning software, called TensorFlow,<\/a> into open-source code, so anyone can use it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope this will let the machine-learning community \u2014 everyone from academic researchers, to engineers, to hobbyists \u2014 exchange ideas much more quickly, through working code rather than just research papers,\u201d Google announced on its website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Until now, researchers have had access to similar open-source software: Torch, built by researchers at New York University, as well as Caffe and Theano, are also open to everyone. TensorFlow is meant to combine the best of the three, Jeff Dean, a top engineer at Google, told Wired.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Cognitive technologies: The real opportunities for business<\/strong><\/a>
\nInstructor: David Schatsky
\nA free course from Deloitte University Press | October 19, 2015 – December 8, 2015<\/p>\n

Excerpt of description:<\/em><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) may sound like science fiction, but it is real, and becoming increasingly important to companies in every sector. The field of artificial intelligence has produced a wide variety of “cognitive technologies” that simulate human reasoning and perceptual skills, giving businesses entirely new capabilities and enabling organizations to break prevailing tradeoffs between speed, cost, and quality.<\/p>\n

Aimed at a general business audience, this course demystifies artificial intelligence, provides an overview of a wide range of cognitive technologies, and offers a framework to help you understand their business implications. Some experts have called artificial intelligence “more important than anything since the industrial revolution.” That makes this course essential for professionals working in business, operations, strategy, IT, and other disciplines. Throughout the course, participants will build a knowledge base on cognitive technologies to equip them to engage in discussions with colleagues, customers, and suppliers and help them shape cognitive technology strategy in their organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
