Distributing machine learning is key to latency-sensitive applications
Today, the vast majority of machine learning algorithms are run in centralized cloud computing facilities. But as 5G opens up a new set of latency-sensitive applications, doing machine learning just in the cloud won't be enough, which...
AI/ML can provide location data used to optimize wireless performance
Wireless networks are becoming increasingly complex and, with 5G looming, that will only continue as the mix and density of devices, as well as variability in application requirements, grows. A key to managing this complexity...
There is massive disruption in the telecoms space, driven in the main part by the shift from proprietary hardware to commoditised hardware, and by the virtualisation of network functions in software.
We are seeing this in the core network, the radio network, and at the...
AI and machine learning will impact every aspect of telecommunications - neither hype or concerns should be ignored.
The fact the sector is highly digitalised and driven by strong competition will result in it being an AI pioneer, driving significant value across the supply chain.

Rogers aims to start deploying 5G-ready network equipment and infrastructure at UBC starting in early 2019
Canadian telecom group Rogers and the University of British Columbia (UBC) have inked a three-year, multi-million dollar partnership deal to build a real-world 5G hub on the UBC campus...
Las Vegas, in Nevada, is using artificial intelligence to detect and fix issues within its IT systems, including those underpinning its various smart city projects. California-based FixStream said its deal with Las Vegas is the first implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for IT operations...
Germany has made its move in the international AI arms race with state support for tech start-ups, a ‘JEDI’ innovation network with France, and backing for its ‘Cyber Valley’ set-up from industrial giants including BMW, Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch.
The German government is to create...
In terms of digital technology, computer vision is as old as the hills. In popular terms, its theory of expanded machine consciousness emerged just as Bob Dylan and The Beatles took a more experimental musical turn.
It has its roots in a 1966 summer holiday...
Deep learning is a machine learning method that uses multiple layers of nonlinear processing units in cascade. It can be supervised, for things like classification, or unsupervised, for pattern analysis and more. IBM’s Romeo Kienzler prefers to use the term Cognitive System: “A cognitive...
Dell Technologies will release a number of pre-integrated and pre-tested computer-vision and machine-intelligence bundles for its resellers to more easily cater to certain edge-computing and internet-of-things use cases.
The bundles, billed as secure and scalable, offer storage, security, network and data management, and orchestration. They...
Modern manufacturing generates a flood of data that hold the promise of significantly improving many areas, from supply chain management to sensor process variable readings and internal diagnostics to in-process quality data. But the problem is that it is just that — a flood...
Trying to keep intruders out of your network is like trying to keep vermin out of a house in a bad neighborhood. The rodents and insects never stop trying to get in, and the best you can do is slow them down, minimize the...
There are two classes of artificial intelligence (AI): general (aka strong or full) and applied (aka narrow or weak). Applied is designed to handle specific tasks and is much more common than general, which attempts to be intelligent in the way one would think...
In the relatively rare instances that artificial intelligence is already part of a telecommunications network, it is generally there to optimize connectivity and the network itself. However, when deployed correctly an AI salesbot can act as a salesperson, driving sales and increased profitability across...
The population of the USA “likes” something on Facebook four million times every minute. If that seems like a staggering amount of engagement, then it might also come as a surprise that the average person in the USA touches their smartphone 2,600 times per...
Under the terms of the agreement, both firms will establish a lab in Hangzhou
Nokia and China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier in terms of subscribers, have signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to investigate the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning...
The French and UK governments have signed a five-year accord to work together to improve digital services through state-level collaboration on artificial intelligence (AI), data and digital administration.
Mounir Mahjoubi and Matt Hancock, digital secretaries for France and the UK respectively, ratified the deal today...
The move to a ‘lights-out’ factory has already begun, but the developing transition requires an overhaul of industrial facilities, equipment, systems and people if it is to go the distance. Transformation of the manufacturing industry, or ‘vertical’ in service-provider parlance, must also make way...
Quo vadis SDN in provider networks?
With its promise of network simplification and new revenue streams, software-defined networking has certainly captured the interest of service providers. At its core, this technology is about disaggregating physical network functions from software control, creating an ecosystem of open...
Diverse requirements of 5G services command co-creation beyond telecoms
Massive support for the internet of things is a major aspect of 5G. And we're not talking about consumer IoT like wearables or smart home devices; we're talking about billions of devices driving digital transformation for...
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — 3D chips are the next frontier for machine-learning chip design, said Globalfoundaries CTO of ASICs, at the IoT DevCon and Machine Learning Conference this week.
Wireless networks and equipment on them, even internet of things equipment, will likely have machine learning...
For technologists, airports in general, and the planet?s busiest ones in particular, are like smart cities in microcosm. They encapsulate a head-spinning array of services and applications, covering everything from waste collection and traffic management to private retail and mission-critical controls.
Threading new airports with...
Although Qualcomm has been doing AI research for more than 10 years, a dedicated R&D unit will help to coordinate AI development efforts across the company
In a week where Qualcomm, Microsoft, and Intel are all holding simultaneous artificial intelligence (AI) developer conferences, Qualcomm announced...
Artificial intelligence (AI) will enable earlier diagnosis of diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and dementia, British Prime Minister Theresa May has said in a speech on industrial strategy at Jodrell Bank, the UK centre for physics, astro-physics and astronomy, in Manchester.
