A small team of student AI coders beats Google’s machine-learning code
A gridded image collage of thousands of photographs Andrej Karpathy Students from Fast.ai , a small organization that runs free machine-learning courses online, just created an AI algorithm that outperforms code from Google’s researchers, according to an important benchmark. Fast.ai’s success is important because it sometimes seems as if only those with huge resources can do advanced AI research. Fast.ai consists of part-time students keen to try their hand at machine learning—and perhaps transition into a career in data science....
