TOP 5 1. Big Surprise for Top AI Brainiacs: NVIDIA CEO Gives World’s Top AI Researchers Frist NVIDIA Tesla V100s 2. Is Customized Healthcare a Near Term Reality? 3. Accelerated Computing Gains Traction as Enterprises Seek to Manage Cognitive Workloads 4. Supercomputers Reveal How the HIV Virus Moves 5. AI App Suggests Recipes Based on Food Pictures
1 NVIDIA CEO GIVES WORLD’S TOP AI RESEARCHERS FIRST NVIDIA TESLA V100S AI is reshaping the world. The researchers gathered at this week’s Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference in Honolulu are reshaping AI. That’s why NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang chose to light up a meetup of elite deep learning researchers at CVPR to unveil the NVIDIA Tesla V100, our latest GPU, based on our Volta architecture, by presenting it to 15 participants in our NVIDIA AI Labs program. The audience of more than 150 top AI researchers — gathered for our NVAIL meetup — grabbed their smartphones to snap pictures of the moment. BLOG
2 IS CUSTOMIZED HEALTHCARE A NEAR TERM REALITY? In this special guest feature, Abdul Hamid Halabi, the global business development lead for healthcare and life sciences at NVIDIA, discusses how personalized or precision medicine is becoming a reality with the help of a machine learning method called deep learning. Halabi is responsible for helping drive the company’s growth and innovation strategies across the healthcare ecosystem. With nearly 20 years of experience in advanced technologies, he partners with thought leaders and world-class organizations to transform healthcare through the application of deep learning and high performance computing to enable precision medicine initiatives and evidence-based medicine.

3 ACCELERATED COMPUTING GAINS TRACTION AS ENTERPRISES SEEK TO MANAGE COGNITIVE WORKLOADS In a recent survey, International Data Corporation (IDC) found that accelerated computing is quickly gaining traction in the enterprise as businesses embrace these technologies to overcome the limitations of CPUs. To help organizations to better understand where accelerated computing fits in the computing platforms hierarchy and to develop a more informed implementation strategy, IDC has published its first accelerated compute taxonomy.

4 SUPERCOMPUTERS REVEAL HOW THE HIV VIRUS MOVES University of Illinois scientists used two GPU- accelerated supercomputers to simulate the behavior of 64 million atoms to capture 1.2 microseconds of the life of an HIV capsid. The simulation offers new insights into how the virus senses its environment and completes its infective cycle. “We are learning the details of the HIV capsid system, not just the structure but also how it changes its environment and responds to its environment,” said research scientist Juan R. Perilla, who led the study with physics professor Klaus Schulten. Such details could help scientists find new ways to defeat the virus, Perilla said. READ MORE
5 AI APP SUGGESTS RECIPES BASED ON FOOD PICTURES MIT researchers developed a deep learning system that can compile a list of ingredients and suggest similar recipes by looking at a photo of food. “In computer vision, food is mostly neglected because we don’t have the large-scale datasets needed to make predictions,” says Yusuf Aytar, an MIT postdoc who co-wrote the paper about the system with MIT Professor Antonio Torralba. “But seemingly useless photos on social media can actually provide valuable insight into health habits and dietary preferences.” BLOG
