SUMMARY:ABCI – Envisioning High Performance Human-Centered AI for Industry
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\nTech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\nABCI
  – Envisioning High Performance Human-Centered AI for Industry\n\nSekiguch
 i\n\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is leading the world’s industrial revolu
 tion in relation to IoT, Big Data, Robot, advanced biotechnology, new manu
 facturing industry, and so on. Although there is an ongoing discussion of 
 the AI singularity, there is a more immediate need to focus on practical a
 pplications of AI. In these applications, AI can be defined as sensors cou
 pled with deep learning, which can substitute for some human sensory funct
 ions.\n\nThus, AI will relieve workers from the burden of some physically 
 or mentally intensive tasks. AI algorithmic techniques have developed dram
 atically with a high dependence on big data sources as training data. More
  importantly, at a a practical level, I will highlight contributions from 
 HPC technology that are indispensable for learning. Until now, we have sup
 ported AI as a system, but cooperation between HPC applications and machin
 e learning will intensify and become a very important factor in the future
  of AI.\n\nAIST is constructing one of the world’s largest AI focused, ope
 n, and public computing infrastructure called ABCI (AI Bridging Cloud Infr
 astructure). It will support not only industrial AI applications to be dep
 loyed for use in society, but also academic AI research. To facilitate thi
 s, we are connecting ABCI to a global, high-speed network research platfor
 m to enhance AI research with a broad number of institutions. One of the f
 irst grand challenge projects we are supporting is mapping whole brain-sca
 le signal integration events in zebrafish. This will open the possibility 
 of creating novel, neural deep learning architectures of the fish brain to
  be used in a wide variety of applications including robotics, sensor desi
 gn, and behavioral sciences.\n\nABCI will be operational shortly in 2018 a
 nd will serve as a reference architecture for data centers combining HPC a
 nd AI to discover new innovations in the future.
