Computing Systems for Enabling Innovation in Machine Learning Applications: Learning and Adapting Computing Systems
Machine Learning allows computers to "learn", "think", "see", "hear", "read", and "write", and generally interact with the physical world in ways that we usually associate only with people and intelligence. These computing systems can compete with and complement human capabilities, and promise to enhance our ability to discover, learn, and benefit from information sources. The application areas are extensive and cover science, medicine, health, commerce, political planning, and security. However, further innovation in machine learning requires computing systems that can store and process ever-increasing amounts of information. This speech will briefly explain why we need to revisit the design of computing systems. Towards this direction, our team develops hardware/software techniques that can learn and adapt to the application requirements, and that can be used to build computing systems that are more energy efficient, more cost-effective, and more reliable.
