Celebrating National App Day 11th December 2018
It’s difficult to imagine a world without apps, and the latest generation of smart device users won’t actually remember one! Before the App Store, some may remember the first ever smartphone (IBM’s Simon), launched in 1994, which had preloaded ‘features’ such as a calculator, calendar, note book and a sketch pad. Not what we would necessarily recognise as an app by today’s standards, but a seminal moment none the less.

Understanding the power of deep learning and how it worksOne reason why deep learning is a confusing concept to many is that it is often used alongside the terms Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of ML, which is itself a subset of AI. A DL algorithm is able to learn hidden patterns from the data by itself, combine them together, and build much more efficient decision rules.

That's a wrap from electronica 2018At this year’s electronica show there was a clear theme running throughout all the halls, artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking to a lot of companies at the show it was clear that people had moved on from the cyber-security buzz to the AI buzz. Peter Müller, Director Product Line Boards & Modules at Kontron said: “In the past AI was only possible in the cloud, but now it is possible in edge computing.”
