No. The US has the lead because its competitive advantage in the world economy is exporting innovation. That's what it's good at. The Chinese economy is outperforming the American one in many ways, but the US enjoys a more open so

I'm surprised I have to write this, but Google is not a charity. They are pouring commercial resources into Tensorflow for a reason. That reason is Google Cloud. Tensorflow is a Trojan horse to get people to use Google Cloud and other

TensorFlow: everything to all people. Eager is actually not as innocent as "open-source projects borrowing the best parts from each other", as some commenters here suggest. Google is attempting to dominate the machine-learning API

Data scientists arguably have too much choice. 10 data scientists will have 50 different tools, can't share work or build on another's experiments or even remember what the result of an experiment were. those are some of the reaso

I've been there. A ton of good advice is on this thread. You need to try to influence your internal state chemically if you want to stay on track. Exercise, medication, meditation, eating and sleeping healthy are all helpful. It's

TF is way behind on UI, which is why it's making Keras its front-end. It's fairly slow on multi-GPUs compared to Torch and neon. It might pull ahead in performance on GCE, but that's just for lockin.

The "leading" DL framework is playing catch-up to Chainer, PyTorch and DyNet. Another Google product development bungle.

I have to say I find this piece pretty disappointing. Slightly smug throughout, which is easy in retrospect, with approximately zero to add to the conversation. The thesis seems to be: The future is hard to predict, and even if you can, it&

The assumptions we make, the more performance goes down in tasks like machine translation, and that includes the assumption that parts of speech matter to machines.

There's some baseless speculation in this thread about what's Singhal's departure meant for Google search. It's important to remember that Singhal was committed Google's knowledge graph, a painstaking, manually cons

Watson does not offer anything more than you can get from popular, free open-source projects, and often it offers much less, because it is complex, costly and closed-source. Nobody looks to Watson for the state of the art in AI.

Yeah right, until Amazon sees that you're succeeding and decides to monetize your APIs without you. Not a great partner.

Rometty doesn't even know that Watson is a vaporware boondoggle, so how would she know what's going to happen when AI impacts society. She is probably the least qualified person at IBM to talk about AI, and IBM itself is one of th

Watson doesn't work. This is more IBM spin coming out via clients who want to prove to themselves that their millions of dollars weren't wasted.
