GSI Technology Announces Participation in ODSC West 2018—Open Data Science Conference in San Francisco
October 29 2018 - 1:29PM
GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT), a leading
provider of memory solutions for networking, telecommunications,
and military, and developer of the Associative Processing Unit
(APU), a highly parallel in-place computing solution, today
announced that GSI’s Director of Data Science, Mr. George Williams,
will host a panel discussion, “Visual Search: The Next
Frontier of Search", at the upcoming ODSC West conference on
November 2, 2018, at 11 a.m. PST. The conference will be held
October 31 through November 4 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco
Airport, located at 1333 Bayshore Highway, in Burlingame,
California.
The Open Data Science Conference is the largest applied data
science conference series in the world. At the event, Mr. Williams
will lead a panel discussion with visual search experts from
several of the leading multinational e-commerce companies, as well
as a leading artificial intelligence company specializing in
computer vision and currently using machine learning and deep
neural networks to identify and analyze images and videos. The
panel will explore the latest state-of-the art visual search
research and techniques. Panel speakers will share their in-depth
knowledge on the subject, including how to scale visual search
solutions to address the billion-scale problem and how to train
models that provide more specific and accurate results for visually
rich categories, like on-line retail catalogs.
“Visual search is a rapidly emerging trend that is ideal
for retail segments, such as fashion and home design, because they
are largely driven by visual content, and style is often difficult
to describe using text search alone,” said Mr. Williams. “Visual
search allows you to replace your keyboard with your camera phone
by using images instead of text to search for things. Through a
technique called distance metric learning, a neural network
can transform any image into a compact, information rich vector of
numbers.”
GSI’s unique APU design is ideal for visual search applications
because it allows for very fast similarity search, which is one of
the keys to visual search. The Company is currently finalizing the
hardware for the APU and plans to have the chip available in 2019
for evaluation and collaboration.
