A novel encryption method devised by MIT researchers secures data used in online neural networks, without dramatically slowing their runtimes. This approach holds promise for using cloud-based neural networks for medical-image analysis and other applications that use sensitive data. Outsourcing machine learning is a rising trend in industry. Major tech firms have launched cloud platforms that conduct computation-heavy tasks, such as, say, running data through a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification. Resource-strapped small businesses and other users can upload data to those services for a fee and get back results in several hours. But what if there are leaks of private data? In recent years, researchers have explored various secure-computation techniques to protect such sensitive data. But those methods have performance drawbacks that make neural network evaluation (testing and validating) sluggish -- sometimes as much as million times slower -- limiting their … [Read more...] about More Efficient Security for Cloud-Based Machine Learning

Mobile Unified Communications: A Guide for Users, Service Providers and Resellers
June 11, 2018 Three factors have come together to drive adoption of mobile unified communications: end users looking to change or upgrade their telecom services; the realization by the channel – the service providers and reseller community – that mobile UC is a way to differentiate and increase revenue in an increasingly competitive marketplace; and thirdly, the evolution of the technology itself, giving all parties involved far greater options and at a lower entry point. End users need more mobility Let’s look at each of these factors in more detail. Businesses have become more mobile-centric and will continue to do so. More than 38 percent of the global workforce was mobile in 2016, according to Strategy Analytics, and a recent Deloitte study found that 77 percent of millennials want great mobile connectivity. So, there is a natural demand for telecom services that are built more around a mobile workforce, particularly as legacy equipment … [Read more...] about Mobile Unified Communications: A Guide for Users, Service Providers and Resellers
