ALiX - a Deterministic AI Training Technology to Usher in the 3rd Wave of AI

Description

Members of Modal Technology Corp and RISC AI, Inc., both Minneapolis, MN-based companies, will present the status of commercializing ALiX - a disruptive AI training technology that is non-statistical and guarantees the optimal solution (global min) in a single run. A by-product of the training is output which is explainable without any additional work required. ALiX promises to reduce the complexity of models, the compute resources needed, and organizational staff requirements for training AI models. The benefits of reducing model complexity translate to fewer compute resources for inferencing once models are deployed. The technology is proven in SW emulation mode; a real-world case study will be presented related to the identification of key biomarkers for colo-rectal liver cancer, in a project conducted between Modal Technology and McGill University Health Center. A RISC-V processor is currently under development by RISC AI to bring enterprise-scale training with ALiX to the market by Q4-2024.
