You Can’t Spell Creative Without A.I.
Advances in software applications that process human language lie at the heart of the debate over whether computer technologies will enhance or even substitute for human creativity.
Microsoft’s AI Transformation, Project Turing and smarter search with Rangan Majumder
Rangan Majumder is the Partner Group Program Manager of Microsoft’s Search and AI, and he has a simple goal: to make the world smarter and more productive. But nobody said simple was easy, so he and his team are working…
Turing-NLG: A 17-billion-parameter language model by Microsoft
| Corby Rosset
This figure was adapted from a similar image published in DistilBERT. Turing Natural Language Generation (T-NLG) is a 17 billion parameter language model by Microsoft that outperforms the state of the art on many downstream NLP tasks. We present a…
ZeRO & DeepSpeed: New system optimizations enable training models with over 100 billion parameters
| DeepSpeed Team, Rangan Majumder, et Junhua Wang
The latest trend in AI is that larger natural language models provide better accuracy; however, larger models are difficult to train because of cost, time, and ease of code integration. Microsoft is releasing an open-source library called DeepSpeed, which vastly…
