“Inevitability or Rat Race? Implications of Moore’s Law from the Perspective of a Silicon Valley Data Scientist’’ is the title of the upcoming Allred Distinguished Lecture in Artificial Intelligence, set for Thursday, Oct. 24, 12:10 p.m. in ETRL 101 on the WSU campus.
Jaap Suermondt , vice president and director of the analytics laboratory at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, will speak at the free, public lecture.
In computing, Moore’s Law says that the number of transistors on integrated circuits is doubling every two years, allowing for more powerful computers and today’s portable electronics. The trend has held up in the computing industry since it was first observed in the 1960’s.
With Hewlett-Packard Laboratories since 1992, Suermondt is responsible for research investments in analytics systems, technologies, and infrastructure as well as applications and visualization. His research and management career spans data mining, decision support systems, data de-duplication, electronic health records and patient safety, personalization, and operational efficiency.
