Join us for a meet up to learn how TIG and Intel can help you and your business.
Deep learning is unlocking tremendous economic value across various market sectors. Individual data scientists can draw from several open source frameworks and basic hardware resources the very initial investigative phases but quickly require significant hardware and software resources to build and deploy production models. Intel Nervana has built a competitive deep learning platform to make it easy for data scientists to start from the iterative, investigatory phase and take models all the way to deployment. Nirvana’s platform is designed for speed and scale, and serves as a catalyst for all types of organizations to benefit from the full potential of deep learning. Example of supported applications include but not limited to automotive speech interfaces, image search, language translation, agricultural robotics and genomics, financial document summarization, and finding anomalies in loT data. In this talk, we will give an overview of Nervana’s DL platform and get some hands-on experience using this platform to train and execute deep learning models.
