Ultra Low Energy Computer Memory for AI Learning in Medical and Other Applications

The CEA-Leti-based team’s uses machine learning on RRAM to get 100,000 times less energy usage. They use randomness instead of trying to prevent it. This allows in-situ learning to be realized in a highly efficient fashion through the application of nanosecond voltage pulses to nanoscale memory devices. Compared to a CMOS implementation of its algorithm, …

Neural Nets to Simulate Molecular Motion

Artificial neural nets can be trained to encode quantum mechanical laws to describe the motions of molecules, supercharging simulations potentially across a broad range of fields. New deep learning models predict the interactions between atoms in organic molecules. These models will help computational biologists and drug development researchers understand and treat disease. Quantum mechanical (QM) …

Qualcomm Aims for Quantum AI Chips

Qualcomm said it plans to begin testing its new Cloud AI 100 chip with partners such as Microsoft Corp later this year, with mass production likely to begin in 2020. Qualcomm’s new chip is designed for what artificial intelligence researchers call “inference” – the process of using an AI algorithm that has been “trained” with …
