DSDE: Emerging Technology

Physicists have been talking about the power of quantum computing for more than 30 years, but the questions have always been: Will it ever do something useful, and is it worth investing in?

Deep learning is good at finding patterns in reams of data but can't explain how they're connected. Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio wants to change that.

Blockchain technology is changing the nature of money and organizations. We should probably start pondering the potential consequences.

The controller from Olis will be distributed and supported by iCsys and is expected to increase efficiency and decease costs.

Here are some thoughts on recent discussions around natural-language-processing transformer models being too big to put into production and a dive into how they have been shipped at Monzo using the HuggingFace library.

With recent advances in AI being enabled through access to so much big data and cheap computing power, there is incredible momentum in the field. Can big data really deliver on all this hype, and what can go wrong?

The company has released new technology for cloud data lakes. Can the company take data in relatively slow cloud object storage and make queries against it faster?

Even the most powerful computers are still no match for the human brain when it comes to pattern recognition, risk management, and other similarly complex tasks. A new approach, however, could enable parallel computation with light, simulating the way neurons respond in the human brain.

Industrial augmented reality (AR) takes several forms. The holy grail—and eventually prevalent format—is headworn AR, where visualization software is installed on AR glasses such as Microsoft’s HoloLens. Nearer-term deployments also include smartphone- or tablet-based AR.

The upstream sector is witnessing comparatively more implementation of the industrial Internet of things compared with other sectors of the oil and gas industry. This is driven by the need to reduce risk and maximize returns through digitalization, according to data and analytics company GlobalData.
