Software and hardware for AI

[peterchan75]

Let's strike while the iron is hot. Let's talk about AI rather than some obscure shell script.
GPU is the necessary hardware to power AI. It's a massively parallel processors. So, AI needs parallel processor.
What about software? Years ago, LISP is for AI. But it's long gone. Recently, I picked a number of ebook of machine learning. It's basically matrix maths in neural networks and most of the script examples are in python. Almost all books talk about back propagation in neural network.

davidktw, Is this topic challenging enough?

Obscure shell script when it is all over the place? lolx

So what do you want to talk about in AI?
I don’t do AI implementation in my scope of work. So it depends on how deep you want to talk about this topic.

I am an AI noob so can't do deep AI.
You did post a youtube video on neural network of hand writing recognition.
From my first impression it is just some multivariable non-linear regression. I still have my old uni text book(Montgomery & Peck) and some DOE(Taguchi method) note by TN Goh. If it is, I need to hit the books.

Just sharing what I come across.

Speaking of AI software and hardware, as least in financial terms, the industry trend among funds has started moving away from hardware makers like Nvidia to focus on software makers like Crowdstrike and Mongodb.

The intention of this thread was of software focus e.g. from hand written number to digital digit. Since you mention CRWD and MDB, take what ever random information from the financial information and predict the up and down trend using machine learning.
