In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World looks at the development of deep learning and its impact on scientific applications.
Deep learning has seen a huge rise in popularity over the last five
years in both enterprise and scientific applications. While the first
algorithms were created almost 20 years ago with the development of
artificial neural networks in 2000, the technology has come of age due
to the massive increases in compute power, development of GPU
technologies, and the availability of data to train these systems.
Today the use of this technology is widespread across many scientific
disciplines, from earthquake prediction, high-energy particle physics
and weather and climate modeling, precision medicine and even the
development of clean fusion energy. With so many possible applications,
it can be difficult for scientists to figure out if artificial
intelligence (AI) or deep learning (DL) can fit into workflow. While
some applications, such as speech or image recognition are well
documented, other applications are just now coming to light, such as the
use of language processing DL frameworks in deciphering protein
folding...
Revolution in a neural network
That is not the only example of a huge speedup but there are even more revolutionary effects that come from the implementation of AI.
