DescriptionJapan has a number of strengths with regard to AI
research. One is its technological foundation in
manufacturing. It is likely that AI will revolutionize
the manufacturing workplaces which are the pride of
Japan. Japan also offers top-class global services in
the fields of healthcare and caregiving. If the huge
amounts of previously accumulated data and expertise can
be shared using the latest technology, including big
data analytics, it will become possible to offer
advanced services in even more locations. This will
result in possibilities to move towards healthcare plans
that are increasingly personalized for the
individual.
The recent AI boom is supported by advancing Algorithms including Deep Learning, more volume of Big Data accessible, and Computing Power. For the use of AI in the real life there is a huge demand of computing resources to train networks with big data, which may take over a year with a standard server. However, manufacturing industry and/or healthcare service providers may not wish to install such larger computing machines on premise. ABCI – AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure is designed to offer shared computing service for such business to accelerate of pervade AI. ABCI is an open innovation platform with computing resources of more than hundred PetaFlops for world-class AI R&D in particular to accelerate Deep Learning type of computation.
In this short presentation, the ABCI project will be overviewed.
