GPUs Help Cut Siri’s Error Rate in Half
To make Siri great, Apple employed several
artificial intelligence experts three years ago
to apply deep learning to their intelligent
mobile smart assistant. “The error rate has
been cut by a factor of two in all the
languages, more than a factor of two in many
cases,” says Alex Acero (Head of Apple
Speech Team). “That’s mostly due to deep
learning and the way we have optimized it.”

The startup is focused on developing deep
learning software—a sophisticated form of
artificial intelligence—and applying it to
everything the self-driving car does from
recognizing objects to making decisions.
Drive.ai, which was founded in April 2015, is
combining deep learning software with
hardware to make self-driving retrofitted kits
designed for business fleets.

Researchers at The Australian National
University are using deep learning and NVIDIA
technologies to better understand the
progression of Parkinson’s disease. Currently it
is difficult to determine what type of Parkinson’s
someone has or how quickly the condition will
progress. The study will be conducted over the
next five years at the Canberra Hospital in
Australia and will involve 120 people suffering
from the disease…
