DeepCube,
the award-winning deep learning pioneer, today announced the launch of
the only software-based inference accelerator that drastically improves
deep learning performance on any existing hardware.
Today,
deep learning deployments are very limited and are primarily optimized
for the cloud; and, even in these cases, they incur extensive processing
costs, significant memory requirements, and expensive power costs, due
to intensive computing demands. These challenges also plague deep
learning deployments on edge devices, including drones, mobile devices,
security cameras, agricultural robots, medical diagnostic tools and
more, where the current size and speed of deep neural networks has
limited their potential.
DeepCube
focuses on research and development of deep learning technologies that
improve the real-world deployment of AI systems. The company's numerous
patented innovations include methods for faster and more accurate
training of deep learning models and drastically improved inference
performance on intelligent edge devices. DeepCube's proprietary
framework can be deployed on top of any existing hardware (CPU, GPU,
ASIC) in both datacenters and edge devices, enabling over 10x speed
improvement and memory reduction.
"Many
deep learning frameworks were developed by researchers, for
researchers, and are not applicable to commercial deployment, as they
are hindered by technological limitations and high cost requirements for
real-world applications," said Dr. Eli David, Co-Founder, DeepCube.
"DeepCube's technology can enable true deep learning capabilities within
autonomous cars, agricultural machines, drones, and could even help
potentially monitor for and prevent future global health crises, much
like the one we are facing now in 2020."
Inspired
by the way the human brain develops during early childhood, DeepCube's
patented technology continuously restructures and sparsifies deep
learning models during the training phase to maintain high accuracy and
greatly reduce the size of the AI model. Several of the largest
semiconductor companies are already using DeepCube's technology to drive
significant increases in speed and memory reductions for deep learning
inference with minimal drops in accuracy.
DeepCube
is co-founded by Dr. Eli David and Yaron Eitan, who bring decades of
experience not only within deep learning research and real-world
execution, but also in technology entrepreneurship. Dr. Eli David is
a leading deep learning expert and has published over fifty papers in
leading artificial intelligence journals and conferences, focusing
primarily on applications of deep learning and genetic algorithms in
various real-world domains. Prior to DeepCube, Dr. David co-founded Deep
Instinct, a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, and the first
company to apply deep learning to cybersecurity. Yaron Eitan is a serial
tech entrepreneur and investor with over thirty years of experience
that he will apply to guide DeepCube's business execution.
"The
initial improvements we've generated through our POCs demonstrate that
this technology can enable true deep learning capabilities across the
entire AI deployment market, in any sector or industry, which will be
critical as AI continues to penetrate new markets and vastly improve
processes in industries like the medical field that need it most," added
Yaron Eitan, Co-Founder, DeepCube.
DeepCube has already been granted four patents in addition to filing for four others thus far.
