the researchers compared it to two other state-of-the-art NBV-based algorithms, one focused on visibility and the other one on boundaries.

They also compared their algorithm to curvature and density-based approaches, and went even further to compare 3d models that had been scanned manually,

Finally, the researchers experimented with using their algorithm on a one-armed industry robot instead of the PR2,

The group of international researchers include engineers from the Visual Computing Research center, Tel-aviv University, the Memorial University of Newfoundland, the University of Konstaz and Shandong University.

#IARPA Seeks Partners in Brain-Inspired AI Initiative US intelligence officials have set in motion a five-year project to spark progress in machine learning by reverse-engineering the algorithms of the human brain.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA) recently put out a call for innovative solutions with the greatest potential to advance theories of neural computation as part of the Machine intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) program.

IARPA lays out its strategy for fostering multidisciplinary approaches at the intersection of data science and neuroscience that increase scientific understanding of the cortical computations underlying neural information processing.

Although there has been much progress in modeling machine learning algorithms after neural processes, the brain remains far better-suited for a host of detection and recognition tasks.

today state of the art algorithms are brittle and do not generalize well, the proposal authors contend. n contrast,

This performance gap between software and wetware persists despite some correspondence between the architecture of the leading machine learning algorithms and their biological counterparts in the brain,

and programming for energy-efficient, data-intensive applications. Other pieces of the ASCR roadmap include the mandate to maintain operations with>90 percent availability, deployment of a 10-40 petaflop upgrade at National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC),

and continued preparations for 75-200 petaflop upgrades at Oak ridge Leadership Facility (ORLF) and Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF).

The Office of Science lays out the upgrade paths for NERSC, OLCF and ALCF with supercomputers Cori, Summit,

and Aurora presented as successors to Edison, Titan, and Mira (respectively). While Cori and Summit were announced previously,

As the chart below shows, the planned upgrade for ALCF is scheduled for the 2018-2019 timeframe.

The listed peak performance of more than 150 petaflops would give Aurora at least 15 times more computing power than its predecessor, Mira,
