How AI Is Transforming Genomics

Advancements in whole genome sequencing have ignited a revolution in digital biology. Genomics programs across the world are gaining momentum as the cost of high-throughput, next-generation sequencing has declined. Whether used for sequencing critical-care patients with rare diseases or in population-scale genetics research, whole genome sequencing is becoming a fundamental step in clinical workflows and …

Training a PyTorch Model with DataLoader and Dataset

When you build and train a PyTorch deep learning model, you can provide the training data in several different ways. Ultimately, a PyTorch model works like a function that takes a PyTorch tensor and returns you another tensor. You have a lot of freedom in how to get the input tensors. Probably the easiest is …

Modular functions design for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on AWS

Over the last 10 years, a number of players have developed autonomous vehicle (AV) systems using deep neural networks (DNNs). These systems have evolved from simple rule-based systems to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and fully autonomous vehicles. These systems require petabytes of data and thousands of compute units (vCPUs and GPUs) to train. This …

DIY Urban AI: Researchers Drive Hyper-Local Climate Modeling Movement

The do-it-yourself climate modeling movement is here. Researchers from Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory have been launching NVIDIA Jetson-driven edge computing Waggle devices across the globe to collect hyper-local climate information. Waggle is an open source sensor platform for edge computing developed by Argonne. Working with this, scientists share open-source AI code designed for …
