Microsoft's Project Adam

Project Adam was first demonstrated at Microsoft's Faculty Summit in Redmond. Project Adam is an initiative by Microsoft's team of researchers and engineers, aims to demonstrate that large-scale, commodity distributed systems can train huge deep neural networks effectively. The lead men behind the project are Karthik Kalyanaraman, Trishul Chilimbi, Johnson Apacible and Yutaka Suzue..

The AI system uses asynchronous processing to make it significantly faster. The test deals with a database of 22,000 types of images. Only a mere number of AI models were able to handle this amount of input at one given time, and one of them was Google Brain. On the benchmark, Project Adam beats Google.
