May. 29, 2018 –
CALIT2’s latest Igniting Technology’s event, held Thursday, May 24, at the CALIT2 Building auditorium, focused on one of the hottest topics in tech, “The Future of Machine Learning.”
The semi-annual program featured industry and academic experts discussing machine learning hardware trends and how the emerging data engineering infrastructure is making this technology easily accessible to scientists and program developers.
A half-dozen presenters discussed the limitless impact machine learning will have on society – from fraud detection and self-driving cars, to identifying gold card customers and predicting prices.
This is the 13th year Knobbe Martens Intellectual Property Law and CALIT2 have co-sponsored the Igniting Technology series. The program was created in 2005 to provide an opportunity for experts from different fields to exchange ideas on cutting-edge research and to promote technology transfer by attracting industry partners to participate in research projects.
“Nearly every software company has machine learning as part of their product now, but a lot of it ends up not being truly based on algorithms and machine learning, or it’s vaporware, said Brad Costello, from BRC Ventures. “The most compelling cases are where machine learning improves top line performance, not just efficiency gains.”
