H2O.ai has announced H2O Hydrogen Torch , a deep learning training engine that makes it easy for companies of any size in any industry to make state-of-the-art image, video and natural language processing (NLP) models without coding. Creating deep learning models typically requires extensive data science knowledge and time. H2O Hydrogen Torch uses a no-code user interface that allows data scientists and developers to rapidly build models for image, video and NLP processing use cases such as identifying or classifying objects, analysing sentiment or finding relevant information in text. According to multiple analyst estimates, 80% to 90% of data is unstructured information, yet only a small percentage of organisations are able to derive value from unstructured data. Deep learning models could be used in industries like healthcare for computer-aided disease detection or diagnosis through the analysis of medical images; in insurance ...

Cybersecurity player IronNet has added a wealth management platform as well as a private healthcare service from Singapore as customers. Both organisations are remaining anonymous to protect their operational security. The two companies will use IronNet’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based network detection and response (NDR) solution as well as the IronNet Collective Defense platform to collaborate in real-time so that they can better detect and defend against cyberattacks. The IronNet Collective Defense platform delivers threat knowledge and intelligence across industries at machine speed. By leveraging IronNet’s advanced AI-driven NDR capabilities, the Collective Defense platform can detect and prioritise anomalous activity inside individual enterprise network environments. "We chose IronNet over other options after demonstrating in-depth proof of value criteria,” stated the Director of IT for the wealth management platform. “Through the detections, IronNet's solut...

Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has signed agreements with Airbus Defence and Space, and The Boeing Company to collaborate further and tap advances in digital technologies at the biennial Singapore Airshow . The agreements will deepen ongoing joint efforts in data analytics. New data pipeline infrastructure will be created for the seamless exchange of digitised fleet and supply chain datasets. This will allow for improved data analytic insights for the optimisation of aircraft maintenance support, leading to reductions in sustainment cost, improvements in overall fleet availability and enhanced operational readiness for the Republic of Singapore Air Force. “We have been actively codeveloping digital solutions with an extensive network of industry partners. These new agreements with Airbus and Boeing present exciting opportunities for closer collaboration, with new data pipelines to enable smarter maintenance of our aircraft. By teaming up with these global ...

TeamViewer, a leading global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalisation solutions, has announced the fourth major release of its enterprise augmented reality (AR) platform, TeamViewer Frontline . Building on the software from the acquisition of Ubimax in 2020 and TeamViewer’s own AR development, the latest version features integrated technology from AR specialist Upskill and mixed reality (MR) company Viscopic, which TeamViewer acquired in 2021. The latest version now enables companies, depending on their individual digital transformation scenario, to leverage the full spectrum of AR capabilities from simple AR annotations to 2D and 3D overlays as well as sophisticated MR features. “TeamViewer’s recent AR product movement and acquisition has led to a comprehensive enterprise AR platform with best-in-class device support, notable strategic partnerships in place and a large customer base to sell to. TeamViewer’s implementation capabilities are highly scala...

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has imposed on DBS Bank an additional capital requirement following the widespread unavailability of the bank’s digital banking services from 23 to 25 November 2021. MAS has required DBS Bank to apply a multiplier of 1.5 times to its risk-weighted assets for operational risk. This translates to an additional amount of approximately S$930 million in regulatory capital (based on reported financial statements as at 30 September 2021). MAS noted deficiencies in DBS Bank’s incident management and recovery procedures to restore its digital banking services to a normal state, resulting in the prolonged duration of the disruption. MAS has further directed DBS Bank to appoint an independent expert to conduct a comprehensive review of the incident, including the bank’s recovery actions. The independent review is also required to assess how a similar incident can be prevented in future. DBS Bank must rectify all shortcomings identified from t...

Source: NVIDIA. TCImage is delivering interior and exterior design renders for clients using NVIDIA RTX, CloudXR, DLSS and Omniverse. TCImage, a studio based in Taipei, is collaborating with clients through presenting its landscape and architecture designs as realistic 3D graphics in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality — collectively known as extended reality, or XR. TCImage produces high-quality, 3D visualisations of its projects and shares them with clients in a virtual environment. This lets users review and engage with full-scale models, so they can get to the final design faster. NVIDIA RTX, CloudXR, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and NVIDIA Omniverse help TCImage to provide the visualisations. During the design process, TCImage CEO Leo Chou and his team use popular applications like Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Revit, Trimble SketchUp and Unreal Engine 4.  Chou initially tried using a consumer-level PC to render 3D graphics, but it would take up to three hours just ...
