Open Research At The Speed Of AI

Posted: 10/20/2018

Today, I discovered the research publication webpage of the company Salesforce. Just stunning! My jaw dropped! This year (2018) alone this company put out about a dozen or so relevant and perhaps trailblazing research papers regarding natural language processing. The author, whose name appears basically on all of them, is Richard Socher. Socher was or is still an research assistant (Adjunct Professor/Visiting Lecturer) to Professor Christopher Manning at Stanford University. Socher’s lectures can be viewed here.

And this is just one company, i.e. Salesforce. Besides this company, there are Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and others who publish constantly lots of great AI research for the whole world to learn about the advances of AI. This technological revolution is well documented and in the public domain.

Probably, one of the greatest bottlenecks of AI is better and new hardware architectures that are more suitable for AI and machine learning. Companies like IBM, Nvidia, Google and others are working hard at improving and developing new hardware. We expect to see a major leaps in AI once better hardware becomes available.
