[ad_1] Typically, companies use GPUs as acceleration hardware in implementing deep learning in technology. But this is pricey — top of the line GPU platforms cost around $100,000. Rice researchers have now created a cost-saving alternative, an algorithm called sub-linear deep learning engine (SLIDE) that is able to do the same job of implementing deep […]

[ad_1] Scientists already knew that humans have specific areas of the brain used to recognize faces, words, numbers and even celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Bill Clinton and Kobe Bryant. Those areas of the brain are often in the same place for large groups of people. A recent study by Harvard Medical School found that for […]
