No. The US has the lead because its competitive advantage in the world economy is exporting innovation. That's what it's good at. The Chinese economy is outperforming the American …

I'm surprised I have to write this, but Google is not a charity. They are pouring commercial resources into Tensorflow for a reason. That reason is Google Cloud. Tensorflow is a Tr…

TensorFlow: everything to all people. Eager is actually not as innocent as "open-source projects borrowing the best parts from each other", as some commenters here suggest. Google …

This article adds nothing new to the discussion about AI. * We knew about Tencent's AI Lab (Saying you need your own capabilities is another way of saying: We have NIH and we will …

Data scientists arguably have too much choice. 10 data scientists will have 50 different tools, can't share work or build on another's experiments or even remember what the result …

Curious: Does anyone use GANs for anything of value, or are they just gimmick NNs?

KPI = amount of funds raised.

I've been there. A ton of good advice is on this thread. You need to try to influence your internal state chemically if you want to stay on track. Exercise, medication, meditation,…

TF is way behind on UI, which is why it's making Keras its front-end. It's fairly slow on multi-GPUs compared to Torch and neon. It might pull ahead in performance on GCE, but that…

The "leading" DL framework is playing catch-up to Chainer, PyTorch and DyNet. Another Google product development bungle.

I have to say I find this piece pretty disappointing. Slightly smug throughout, which is easy in retrospect, with approximately zero to add to the conversation. The thesis seems to…

The assumptions we make, the more performance goes down in tasks like machine translation, and that includes the assumption that parts of speech matter to machines.

> Do they care less than they used to, though? That's impossible to measure, but the arguments you have employed regarding personnel changes do not demonstrate your point.

There's some baseless speculation in this thread about what's Singhal's departure meant for Google search. It's important to remember that Singhal was committed Google's knowledge …

I guess that's how you call peak hype.

Watson does not offer anything more than you can get from popular, free open-source projects, and often it offers much less, because it is complex, costly and closed-source. Nobody…

Yeah right, until Amazon sees that you're succeeding and decides to monetize your APIs without you. Not a great partner.

From people trying to protect their own ass by not telling her that Watson doesn't work.

Rometty doesn't even know that Watson is a vaporware boondoggle, so how would she know what's going to happen when AI impacts society. She is probably the least qualified person at…

Watson doesn't work. This is more IBM spin coming out via clients who want to prove to themselves that their millions of dollars weren't wasted.
