Imaging in agriculture is where machine learning will be necessary to execute on a chip.  Using triangulation as an example for generating point cloud data at high resolution would require a tremendous amount of computation. Supercomputers based on GPU might help but that won't make it into the field devices, therefore, I am predicting that a new class of ASIC [...]

In a blog post about the project, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that, “We hope AutoML will take an ability that a few Ph.D.s have today and will make it possible in three to five years for hundreds of thousands of developers to design new neural nets for their particular needs.” Source: Google Reveals Automatic Machine Learning: A.I. Can Create [...]
