Deep ( er ) Learning A global effort from IBM Research , including engineers and scientists from teams in Tokyo , India , and the Thomas J Watson Research Center , has given rise to PowerAI , with new deep learning framework algorithms and performance tuning to help highlight the features of the S822LC server . Advantages of highbandwidth NVLinks between the GPUs and to the CPUs , combined with the IBM Caffe deep learning framework optimisations , results in lower deep learning training time .

Apple ’ s facial recognition blunder Craig Federighi , a Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Apple , tried to test-drive the new phone ' s facial recognition software in front of a live audience . iPhone X ' s Face ID – where the user looks at their iPhone X front-screen for the phone to recognise them and allow access to the phone – suffered a technical hitch , which came just after the 10th anniversary edition of the iPhone had been revealed , causing a temporary crash in Apple ’ s market value .

New generation of Computer Vision Berlin-based Mobius Labs ’ Computer Vision technology is used by the European press agency , ANP and stock photography community , EyeEm . Mobius ’ CEO and Chief Scientist , Appu Shaji , claims vendors are now looking to democratise the technology : “ Such technologies employ a technique called ‘ few shot learning ’, allowing the training of very specific concepts using small amounts of data sets . The training is no-code , which allows everyone to easily navigate through the machine learning process . These solutions are lightweight and easy to install on-premises in mobile phones , laptops and even satellites .”
