SHAPING THE FUTURE How AI’s Flagship Conference is Leading the Revolution INNOVATION IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DRIVING COMPUTER VISION RESEARCH
THIS WEEK, SOME OF THE GREATEST MINDS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WERE IN HONOLULU FOR THE ANNUAL COMPUTER VISION AND PATTERN RECOGNITION (CVPR) CONFERENCE.
ROUGHLY 5,000 RESEARCHERS, DEVELOPERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS WERE GATHERED TO SHARE AND PUSH THE FRONTIERS OF AI FROM INTELLIGENT VIDEO ANALYTICS TO SELF-DRIVING CARS.
HIGHLIGHTS OF CVPR 2017 1. CEO Jensen Huang Unveiled Tesla V100 to Top AI Researchers 2. TensorRT – Faster AI, Lower Costs 3. NVIDIA AI Labs Driving the Future of Computer Vision 4. Inception Startups Showcased NVIDIA-Powered Technologies 5. Microsoft’s Bing Searching For Images Within Images 6. State-of-the-Art Demos 7. Educating the Next Generation of AI Experts 8. I AM AI Series
CEO JENSEN HUANG UNVEILED TESLA V100 TO TOP AI RESEARCHERS
Big Surprise for Top AI Brainiacs “Jensen presented representatives of each of the 15 attending research institutions with NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU accelerators, each of which included his signature, along with an inscription on the accelerator’s box that read, “Do great AI!”...” READ MORE
TENSORRT- FASTER AI, LOWER COSTS
Putting AI to Work 100x Faster ““…NVIDIA is demonstrating how an NVIDIA DGX Station running NVIDIA TensorRT and using only one of the four Tesla V100s we’ve equipped DGX Station with can perform a common inferencing task 100X faster than a system without GPUs….One NVIDIA GPU-enabled system doing the same work as 100 CPU-only systems means 100 times fewer cloud servers to rent or buy.”.” READ MORE
