The race for making perfect hardware to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) applications is heating up and many companies are jumping in with their products and solutions. According to a new report from Tractica, of the three key parts of hardware infrastructure – compute, networking, and storage – compute has made significant progress in the last couple of years. The other two areas, storage and networking, are lagging behind and have yet to see major innovations pertaining to AI applications. In the next few years, however, more research and development (R&D) will go into ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Clint Wheelock. Significant advances have been made during the past few years in the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to recognize and analyze human emotion and sentiment, owing in large part to accelerated access to data (primarily social media feeds and digital video), cheaper compute power, and evolving deep learning capabilities combined with natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. According to a new report from Tractica, these trends are beginning to drive growth in the market for sentiment and emotion analysis software.Tractica forecasts that worldwide revenue from sentiment and emotion analysis software will ...

In a flexible display, the backplane, frontplane, and any encapsulants are all made from flexible materials.  To date, such displays have been used primarily because they are thinner, lighter, and more durable than comparable rigid displays, and to a lesser extent because they are conformable to rigid but non-flat surfaces in devices such as mobile phone handsets, automobile dashboards, and appliance control panels.In 2017, key flexible display components achieved cost and performance parity with their rigid counterparts for the first time, thus removing a key market barrier and opening the door to rapid ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Jessica Groopman. In the technology space, buzz goes a long way. Investment driven by paranoia of disruption or loss of market share; marketing to drive search engine optimization (SEO) in buzz-worthy areas; and the ensuing internet echo chambers all foster a bandwagon effect. Having seen the internet, social media, and other recent disruptions destroy slow-moving brands, many companies are jumping on the blockchain bandwagon without a clear sense of precisely where, when, and why to focus. These dynamics make for a frenetic market environment, clouded by myths formulated to satisfy investors and board members, yet ... Read More
