A Computing Stack with an Appetite
December 23, 2017
I read “The Artificial Intelligence Computing Stack.” Simple enough title. What the title should have suggested was, “Linear Algebra Really Matters for Artificial Intelligence Wonks.”
As my slightly wonky uncle, V.I. Arnold, explained to me before he died in Paris:
“You fiddle with matrices, vector spaces, and other stuff to get close, probably. Well, maybe.”
Got that? If not, check out “Nonlinear Dynamical Systems with Self-Excited and Hidden Attractors (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control)” when it arrives at your local library.
The write up offers this insight:
- Graphics and tensor processors are eating linear algebra.
- Linear algebra is eating deep learning.
- Deep learning is eating machine learning.
- Machine learning is eating artificial intelligence.
- Artificial intelligence is eating software.
- Software is eating the world.
Main point: This may not be a core competency for some US outfits.
