Research talk: Computationally efficient large-scale AI
Today’s AI is too big. Deep neural networks demand extraordinary levels of computation, and therefore power and carbon, for training and inference. In this research talk, Song Han, MIT, presents TinyML and efficient deep learning…
Keynote: Unlocking exabytes of training data through privacy preserving machine learning
Speaker: Jim Kleewein, Technical Fellow, Microsoft Data is the lifeblood of AI and machine learning. The better the model, and the better the data that model is trained on, the better the outcome. Today’s models…
Opening remarks: Causal Machine Learning
Causal machine learning is an increasingly important, but not well understood, technology. It’s a necessary precursor to building more human-like machine intelligence, and an integral factor in the fields of information, data and computer science.…
