Santa Clara, CA, USA, September 24, 2018 – NovuMind Inc., a leading innovator in Artificial Intelligence for embedded applications, today announced that it will participate in the 2018 SVIEF, to be held September 28-30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The theme of this year’s SVIEF is ” Converge & Exchange” and Artificial Intelligence is one of the major topics that will be featured. Dr. Ren Wu, NovuMind CEO, will deliver an opening keynote presentation on September 30th at 9:35am. Dr. Wu’s speech will focus on how a new generation of powerful, yet energy-efficient, AI chips will enable mass deployment of AI. By deploying AI in edge servers and devices, intelligent services can be provided close to users and data, where they are needed, with dramatically lower latency times and enhanced protection of private user data. Dr. Wu is the Founder and CEO of NovuMind Inc, where he is leading the effort to push the frontier of artificial intelligence (AI) via high-performance and heterogeneous computing. His dream is to improve peoples’ lives using AI technology. SVIEF also announced that NovuMind wins the 2018 Innovative CEO Award. The annual SVIEF Innovative CEO award recognizes leadership, innovation, product & service, CEO excellence,…More DetailsNovuMind CEO to Give Keynote Speech at 2018 SVIEF

Santa Clara, CA, USA, September 17, 2018 – Dr. Ren Wu, founder and CEO of NovuMind Inc., a leading innovator in full-stack Artificial Intelligence technologies, participated in this month’s IEEE System on Chip Conference (SOCC) in Arlington VA. With the theme of “Thinking SOCs: AI and ML,” the conference attracted AI researchers, engineers and industry experts from around the world. Dr. Wu presented on the topic of “Leveraging the Power of Deep Learning in Intelligent Devices.” His presentation covered the potential of embedding AI in devices at the edge of the network, effectively creating an “Intelligent Internet of Things.” Dr. Wu also discussed the challenges of widespread deployment of AI at the network edge, including power consumption and processing power requirements. Until now, most AI functionality has resided in data centers or the Cloud, where expensive and highly specialized AI processing resources can be shared. However, as low-power and high-performance SOC solutions for AI become widespread, AI can be deployed much more widely, including deployment in embedded applications that require real-time, low-latency performance. “Artificial Intelligence is more capable than it ever was before, and we are just at the beginning of what many people are calling a Fourth Industrial Revolution…More DetailsNovuMind CEO Presents at IEEE SOCC 2018 Conference

Santa Clara, CA, USA, July 9, 2018 – NovuMind Inc., a leading innovator in full-stack Artificial Intelligence technologies, today announced its participation in the Shennong Supercomputer Project in the city of Chengdu. The Shennong Supercomputer, named after the legendary figure credited with inventing Chinese medicine, is a powerful platform dedicated to training AI deep learning models for diagnostic imaging and medical research. The system utilizes software originally developed by NovuMind for training of deep learning models on its NovuStar distributed AI training platform[1]. NovuMind’s founder and CEO, Dr. Ren Wu, was involved in the design of the Shennong system and was in Chengdu for the public announcement and demonstration. Dr. Wu commented that computational power and the availability of training data are the critical resources that will drive deployment of AI solutions. Fortunately, in the field of medicine there is a vast amount of data available, from many years’ worth of medical records and images, that can be mined to train AI models. But the effective training of models on this data is computationally intensive. Powerful computers such as Shennong help unlock the value of this data. Dr. Wu presented a benchmark test showing how the system is able to…More DetailsNovuMind AI Software Powers Medical Supercomputer
