Recommendation

Microsoft’s “ALT Story” on AI at Scale provides a multimedia overview, with links to press releases and technical documents. It gives the history of AI milestones in the last five years, such as object and speech recognition and language translation. It explains how a new class of powerful large-scale language models such as Microsoft’s Turing model is driving breakthroughs and accelerating AI innovation in its own products. Microsoft seeks to give customers access to state-of-the-art large-scale AI models, training optimization tools and supercomputing resources to accelerate their own innovation, what it calls “AI at Scale.”

Take-Aways

  • Microsoft seeks to enable the next generation of AI, starting with human language.
  • As one form of machine learning, deep learning is developing rapidly.
  • At 17 billion parameters, Microsoft Turing sets a new standard for language modelling tasks.
