Jason Dai, Senior Principal Engineer, discusses practical applications of Intel’s Analytics Zoo, an open source software platform for big data AI. This presentation focuses on four applications: Recommendation, time series analysis, computer vision, and natural language processing. His first example is the food recommendation engine used by Burger King, which uses a transformer cross transformer (TxT) model leveraging HDFS, Apache Spark and MXNet, and Ray. Next, Dai discusses how SK Telecom’s time series based network quality prediction solution is able to run up to 6x faster using Analytics Zoo on Intel Xeon and presents a similar use case of wind power prediction using Analytics Zoo by GoldWind, which improved accuracy to 79% with a 4x training speedup. When it comes to computer vision, Dai presents industrial inspection by Midea and KUKA and AI-assisted radiology with Dell EMC. Finally, natural language processing (NLP) is presented, using a chatbot in Microsoft Azure and job recommendation engine in Talroo as examples.
