"Intel to Release Machine Learning Libraries" New Scientist (05/02/03); Knight, Will

Intel plans to release a series of Bayesian network software libraries at the Neural Information Processing Systems 2003 conference. (www.nips.cc)

The libraries will make the most of microprocessor hardware from Intel, allowing programmers who lack extensive machine learning knowledge to take advantage of Bayesian networks and build software with improved efficiency. Intel development team leader Gary Bradski says the libraries could be applied to data-mining, robotics, computer vision, diagnostics, bioinformatics, and decision-making systems.

Here is the full story.
