2019-10-10 Intel® Artificial Intelligence Workshop: Enhance Machine Learning Performance with Intel® Software Tools (HIML1W19)

Date:Thursday, October 10, 2019, 9:00-12:30
Location:LRZ Building, Garching/Munich, Boltzmannstr. 1, LRZ Hörsaal
Contents:

The use of data analytics techniques, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, has become the key for gaining insight into the incredible amount of data generated by scientific investigations (simulations and observations). Therefore it is crucial for the scientific community to incorporate these new tools in their workflows, in order to make full use of modern and upcoming data sets.

In this workshop we will provide an overview on the most known machine learning algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning. With small example codes we show how to implement such algorithms using the Intel® Distribution for Python*, and which performance benefit can be obtained with minimal effort from the developer perspective.

Schedule:

9:00 - 10:30

  • Intel’s Hardware and Software directions for Artificial Intelligence (AI)
