Data Innovation Lab (SDIL) invites AI researchers to submit proposals
for an open call under SDI-C program. Six AI micro projects will be
funded for a maximum of six man-months, starting in October 2019. In
addition, they will have access to infrastructure of the SDIL platform.
Four projects with a reference to high-frequency data streams and time
series and two thematically open AI-micro projects with pilot character
will be funded. The projects are encouraged to include companies as
associated partners and data providers who benefit from the results.
Applications are open under office@sdil.de until September 21, 2019. >> more

IBM
Power System Accelerated Computer Server (AC922) features the latest
Power9 processor technology to provide the power needed for modern
high-performance computing (HPC), analysis and AI workloads and enables
data-intensive operational loading for corporate AI. It is the only
server capable of providing the process speed of data transactions
between CPUs and GPUs (I / O performance) to this extent. With this
ability SDIL and TECO will use AC922 for HPC, Deep Learning, elaborate
text analysis, multilingual speech recognition and direct textual
language translation of audio signals. >> more
