Intro When I was around 8-9 years old, I received a Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer for my birthday. One of my earliest memories I remember is sitting with my Dad, reading the manual to work out the magic commands to load the games from cassette tape. Whilst the games (Manic Miner and Starstrike II were the two I remember trying out first) were cutting-edge for a 1980s computer system and I spent many hours playing them, I was always more interested in the manual. Like many systems of the day which “booted” straight into a BASIC prompt, the documentation included a full introduction to programming the Speccy in BASIC as well as some tantalising (but over-my-head at the time) memory maps and details of coding in Z80 assembly language.
Mila, IBM collaborating on open-source AI and machine learning project
Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute (Mila) and IBM have teamed up to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning research using open-source technology.
Mila and IBM have been collaborating since early 2020 on a project that is meant to make a key component of AI, known as hyperparameter optimization, more accessible. The organizations claim that this would improve machine learning model performances and pinpoint within the ‘black box’ of AI where models need work.
“A collaboration with…IBM is a great opportunity to accelerate the development of an open-source solution…initiated at Mila.”
