Cortical.io announced its breakthrough prototype for classifying high volumes of unstructured text. Classifying documents or messages constitutes one of the most fundamental Natural Language Understanding (NLU) functions for business artificial intelligence (AI). The benchmark was carried out on two similar system setups using the same, off-the-shelve, dual AMD-Epyc server hardware. The “BERT” system, a transformer-based machine learning technique for natural language processing, was augmented by a NVidia GPU. The “Semantic Folding” approach utilized a cost comparable number of Xilinx Alveo FPGA accelerator cards.
Wallaroo Labs announced the general availability launch of its new, free Community Edition (Wallaroo CE) version of its enterprise product that helps teams speed up and simplify the deployment and operations of machine learning (ML) models and pipelines in production. For too long, the perception was that scaling ML required unlimited resources or specific skills/expertise for data scientists and ML engineers.
