Some new Developments in Machine Learning NavneetGoyal Department of Computer Science, BITS-Pilani, Pilani Campus, India
New IBM Chip - TrueNorth • Research published in Journal Science • Consists of electronic “Neurons” • It attempts to mimic the way brain recognizes patterns • Works parallely • Would be able to recognize that a woman in a video is picking up a purse or control a robot that is reaching into a pocket and pulling out a quarter(humans can do this without any ‘conscious’ effort • 5.4 billion transistors(only 70 milliwatts of power) • In contrast, Intel processor has 1.4 billion processors and require 35-140 watts!! • One million neurons– about as complex as the brain of a bee
New IBM Chip - TrueNorth • Neuromorphic or Cognitive Computing • Not yet available comercially • Google, Microsoft, and Apple are using Neural Network driven pattern recognition to improve quality of some services! Taken from TOI, Jaipur Edition, 11th August 2014.
