This document discusses advances in deep learning and AI through partnerships between NVIDIA and top research institutions. It summarizes that NVIDIA delivered its DGX-1 AI supercomputer to UC Berkeley and Mass General Hospital to accelerate breakthroughs in deep learning for tasks like analyzing medical data and autonomous vehicles. Applications highlighted include isolating speech from noise, predicting health risks from genes, and allowing NVIDIA to test self-driving vehicles in California.

2. Deep Learning is the fastest growing field
in artificial intelligence (AI).

3. As top institutions are gaining top AI
technology, Deep Learning is advancing
quicker than ever…

4. NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang
earlier this year delivered our
DGX-1 AI supercomputer in a box
to the University of California,
Berkeley’s AI Research Lab.

5. “That speed – and the ability to
manage huge quantities of data –
is the key to new breakthroughs in
deep learning, which, in turn, is
key to helping computers navigate
environments that people do
everyday, such as public roads.”
John Canny
Professor of Engineering
UC Berkeley at EE, CS

6. Mass General became the
first medical institute in the
world — and among the
first five research
institutions of any kind — to
receive an NVIDIA DGX-1.

7. “The intent is to be able to explore the integration
of man and machine at this point of clinical care,
taking some of the data historically and using that
data to actually create information in the machine
so that we can see into the future what’s
happening with patients before the human has
the idea that there are changes taking place.”
Dr. Keith Dreyer
Vice Chairman, Associate Professor
Mass General, Harvard Medical School

We’ll know AI really works when we hardly notice it at all,
according to Bryan Catanzaro, a key figure in the field.
“AI gets better and better until it kind of disappears into
the background,” says Catanzaro — NVIDIA’s head of
applied deep learning research — in conversation with
host Michael Copeland on this week’s edition of the
new AI Podcast. Listen now …

Researchers at Ohio State University developed
a GPU-accelerated program that can isolate
speech from background noise and automatically
adjust the volumes of each separately. Less than
25 percent of people who need a hearing aid
actually use one – with the greatest frustration
among users is the hearing aid cannot
distinguish sounds that occur at the same time,
such as someone talking and a car driving by.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles
posts a list of all the companies and entities
cleared to test self-driving vehicles on public
roads in the state, and that list has a new
member: Nvidia. Nvidia is working with a
number of companies on the list as a
supplier of processing power for self-driving
… but it’s also building its own test vehicles
to help prove and improve its own systems.
