Neurala Claims Faster Deep Neural Nets

New to me.

Neurala’s new neural network reduces AI training times from hours to seconds by Mike Wheatley

 Artificial intelligence startup Neurala Inc. is claiming a major breakthrough with its deep learning platform, saying it has reduced the time it takes to train a deep neural network from 15 hours to just 20 seconds.

Neurala claims to differentiate itself from other AI software makers because its platform learns by mimicking the human brain, integrating sight, sound and other senses into one system in a rough emulation of how the mind works. The startup added that its deep learning software further excels because it doesn’t rely on servers running in the cloud to train its systems, therefore making it suitable for a new generation of smart cars, children’s toys and industrial machines that perform computations at the edge of the network.

Now, the company said, its Lifelong Deep Neural Network technology is better than ever, slashing learning times to mere seconds and also providing the ability for neural networks to acquire new knowledge without forgetting the previous information it learned – something it claims wasn’t possible before. ....
