Here are some links I thought were worth sharing this week:
DATA SCIENCE
Google introduces Neural Networks API in developer preview of Android 8.1
"The big highlight here is the new Neural Networks API, which brings hardware-accelerated inference to the phone for quickly executing previously trained machine learning models. Bringing these calculations to the edge can bring a lot of utility to the end user by reducing latency and load on the network, while also keeping more sensitive data on-device."
Facebook launches two datasets to improve AI video analysis
"Facebook launched a pair of new open datasets today to help developers and data scientists train artificial intelligence systems to better understand videos."
ENTERPRISE
Apple’s enterprise strategy begins to take shape
"For Apple, the advantage is clear. If they can start getting bigger companies standardized on iOS, they can gain momentum around iPhone and iPad use, whether at work or at home, and the set of partnerships has helped reinforce that work component."
