Intel + Cornell Pioneering Work in the “Science of Smell”
March 27, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Nature Machine Intelligence published a joint paper from researchers at Intel Labs and Cornell University demonstrating the ability of Intel’s neuromorphic test chip, Loihi, to learn and recognize 10 hazardous chemicals, even in the presence of significant noise and occlusion. The work demonstrates how neuromorphic computing could be used to detect smells that are precursors to explosives, narcotics and more.
Reality Bites: 3 Misconceptions that Can Lead to Microservice Mayhem
February 15, 2020 by Leave a Comment
In this contributed article, Eric D. Schabell, Global Technology Evangelist and Portfolio Architect Director at Red Hat, discusses how microservices are core to organizations’ flexibility and agility in the digital world. But that doesn’t mean that microservices are right for every use case or even for every organization—at least, not right now.
