The high bandwidth demands created by our mobile and smart devices, data storage, and cloud computing centers is growing by leaps and bounds. And the ubiquity of fiber optics is a big part of this. Analysts are predicting the global fiber optics market will be worth $9 billion USD by 2025. Much of this will be driven by the aforementioned technologies but also by new technologies such as VR/AR.But none will have more impact than machine learning. The compute power needed and the demand for machi...

Engineers at Rice University have developed a deep learning system that is capable of accurately predicting extreme weather events up to five days in advance. The system, which taught itself, only requires minimal information about current weather conditions in order to make the predictions.Part of the system’s training involves examining hundreds of pairs of maps, and each map indicates surface temperatures and air pressures at five-kilometers height. Those conditions are shown several da...
