Intel To Acquire SigOpt, An AI Hyperparameter Optimization Platform<\/a><\/p>\n

Intel has confirmed that it is buying SigOpt Inc.<\/a>, an artificial intelligence startup developing software platforms to optimize AI models. Several private firms and research groups such as OpenAI use these software platforms to boost their AI models\u2019 performance. This platform uses a hyperparameter optimization method that improves model performance. <\/p>\n

Developers say Hyperparameters are settings that determine how AI processes data. These settings include the number of artificial neurons in a model and how those neurons interact with each other. Hyperparameter optimization is the process of fine-tuning these settings to enhance the model\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

A large number of setting combinations are possible for a broad AI, making the task time-consuming. In past approaches, hyperparameters were searched in a semi-randomized manner to find the optimal configuration. SigOpt employs a statistical method called Bayesian optimization that enables its platform to perform the process significantly. This platform can work with various AI types, including machine learning models and complex deep learning models. Through this platform, the developers can specify their AI\u2019s property they need to improve and then create an optimization loop that fine-tunes it automatically. This platform also allows developers to regulate multiple properties simultaneously. <\/p>\n

Using SigOpt\u2019<\/a>s platform, Intel will broaden its capability to help customers run AI models on its chips to achieve higher processing speeds. Intel says that<\/a> SigOpt\u2019s technology will be integrated across Intel\u2019s AI hardware products.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Intel\u2019s AI solutions drive was reported to total over $3.8 billion<\/a>. Intel is currently preparing the Xe series launch, its first graphic processing unit line in two decades, including AI-optimized chips. Intel Capital, its global investment organization, had committed a total of $132 million to 11 startups centered on AI translation services, chipset design, big data analytics, and health care automation. Intel Capital has also stated that it will be investing between $300 million and $500 million<\/a> in AI centered startups with specific attention on intelligent edge devices and network transformation.<\/p>\n
