US9254824 illustrates an adaptive anti-collision system for providing timely alert information by analyzing the driving pattern of the driver using a neural network. A neural network utilizes massive connected artificial neurons to mimic the capability of a biological neural network so as to acquire information from external… Read More


One, Two, Many – Why You May Not Be Replaced By A Robot

One, Two, Many – Why You May Not Be Replaced By A Robot
by Bernard Murphy on 03-20-2016 at 4:00 pm

Some aboriginal tribes in Australia see little value in counting and are believed to discriminate only between “one”, “two” and “many”. This is not through lack of intelligence; beyond two they simply lose interest in the details. We can smile and feel superior but I suspect we are not much better when it comes to predicting our technology… Read More

The Best Analyst Presentation at SEMI ISS 2016!
by Daniel Nenni on 01-22-2016 at 5:00 pm

The problem I have with semiconductor analysts and media today is that they rarely have depth in what they are talking about. Some because they have never actually worked in the industry and others because they have not worked in the industry since the 1970s. One famed analyst even repeated the mythical “Fabs cost $10B” generalization… Read More

Convolutional Deep Neural Network is now a reality with CEVA-XM4

Convolutional Deep Neural Network is now a reality with CEVA-XM4
by Eric Esteve on 10-13-2015 at 7:00 am

XM4 DSP has been enriched with CEVA Deep Neural Network (CDNN) Software Framework. Some explanation could be useful before jumping into CDNN. The “Deep” of CDNN comes from “Deep Learning”, a family of neural network methods using high number of layers, so a deep network. The most popular deep learning neural network method is the… Read More
