Deep neural networks (DNNs), a subset of machine learning (ML), provide a foundation for automating conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) applications. FPGAs provide hardware acceleration enabling high-density and low latency CAI. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of CAI, data center use-cases, describe the traditional compute model and its limitations and show how an ML compute engine integrated into the Achronix FPGA can lead to 90% cost reductions for speech transcription.
