New York University’s Center for Data Science is
at the cutting edge of fields with revolutionary
implications such as machine learning, natural
language processing, computer vision and
intelligent machines. Because computing speed is
critical to accelerating experimentation and
advancing research, the center’s Computational
Intelligence, Learning, Vision and Robotics
(CILVR) lab recently acquired a NVIDIA DGX-1 AI
supercomputer to fuel this work like never before.

The AI revolution has arrived. Companies are
racing to deliver AI capabilities that make sense
of the massive influx of data created in the last
several years. But cracking the AI nut is difficult.
The technical requirements, resources and
expertise needed to deliver AI are enormous ...
But as intelligence becomes the new currency
in business, it is vital that these barriers be
knocked down and that the power of AI reaches
the hands of employees …

Researchers at Musk’s San Francisco lab are
using the news aggregation and discussion site to
increase the bank of content available for the AI
to study. In a press release, OpenAI research
scientist Andrej Karpathy said they are “[training]
on entire years of conversations of people talking
to each other on all of Reddit.” Scientists love the
site for the access it provides to large numbers of
colloquial conversations. Its nearly 900,000
subreddit communities comprise a range of topics
from r/science to r/DogsStandingUp.

Microsoft is excited to be empowering researchers at
The Alan Turing Institute to achieve more by awarding
$5 million in Microsoft Azure cloud computing credits.
The Turing is the U.K.’s national center for data
science. “More than 100 research staff — ranging
from computer scientists, engineers and experts in
machine learning to statisticians, mathematicians and
social scientists — will soon begin work at The Alan
Turing Institute with the mission to advance the world-
changing potential of data science,” said Andrew
Blake, the Institute’s Director.

A team of researchers from University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign and Stanford University are
using the Blue Waters supercomputer at the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications
(NCSA) to predict what antibody would most likely
pair best with a protein that coats a virus. Using
CUDA and the NVIDIA Tesla accelerators in the
supercomputer, the researchers simulated the
evolution of the Ebola virus and the most likely
mutations of antibody that would combat that
evolution.
