Episode 9: Meditations on EDA & AI with Kurt Keutzer
Just over a week before DAC, the DAC-Cast hosts return with another episode.. this time with none-other-than Kurt Keutzer. In 1998 Kurt became Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley and recently, Kurt’s research focuses on systems issues associated with the application of Deep Learning to computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and finance. No stranger to DAC or the EDA community, Kurt has published six books, over 250 refereed articles, and is among the most highly cited authors in Hardware and Design Automation. Kurt was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 1996. At the 50th Design Automation Conference Kurt received a number of awards reflecting achievements over the 50 year history of the conference. These included “Top Ten Cited Author” and “Top Ten Cited Paper.” He was also recognized as among one of only three people to have received four Best Paper Awards in the history of the conference. Kurt's research on Deep Learning has also received Best Paper Awards at the Embedded Vision Workshop and at the International Conference on Parallel Processing.
