AI Software

We build software from scratch or integrate into existing business environments, including tools that focus on delivering self-service capabilities, enabling decision-makers to recognize performance gaps. We also work on methods to help developers improve their efficiency in-house or as a service to clients.

Classification

Visual data can be used in non-intuitive ways to drive your business. We use images and computer vision to automate many expensive, time-consuming tasks.

Big Data

Does your business have hundreds of redundant, unlinked spreadsheets?  We turn data into usable information with practical solutions.

ID documents
digitization

We used a neural network to identify document fields and their content, verifying and authenticating the data. The recognition of the ID pictures was also verified and matched with clients database to ensure validity of the documents.

Bank cheque reader and classifier

Trained deep learning models to detect various fields of information on physical bank cheques. Then we  processed that data using computer vision algorithms to get a perfect read of the number and letter characters. This technology served as a replacement of 95% of the work previously done by human hands at a much slower pace.

SMS
verification

Inspecting big databases in mandarin we were able to filter and detect (with the help of deep learning models) text messages that contained spam,  explicit content or specific keywords.
Implementations as spam detector or smart text block were possible due to these technologies

Game Theory

Our team has a strong background producing game algorithms that are able to outperform humans. We specialize in algorithms that exploit human weaknesses. ​In the end, business is practical game theory.​

We developed computer vision algorithms that detected all the components of a backgammon board and used it for live tournaments. Auto-detection of checkers position, dice rolls and players turns, eliminating need of paper and manual counting of points.

Medical
Imaging

In some anesthetics it was necessary to use ultrasound and experienced doctors, in addition to causing pain in patients. This project contains the learning of the computer to guide the needle and perform the procedure.

Emotion 
Detection

Poker is a sport in which players are always trying to hide their true emotions and what cards they are holding. We are making headway into reading the poker faces of some of the best players in the world by magnifying small differences between frames, allowing us to pick up on physical tells that are not clear to the naked eye.

​The Process

Our approach was essentially to try as many things as possible and put our processing power on whatever the most promising one was at the time.

​

A key component was a small web service we built where our scripts could request a random individual to try, and then report their success or failure along with the algorithm name and the time it took to process. We then had a small webpage listing the algorithms and their performance in terms of score improvement per hour. This had several advantages:

• we could track how each algorithm did

• we could easily plug in new ones without needing to re-code timing and performance stats on each separate attempt

• it let us distribute the latest changes quickly to whatever available cores we had

• It's also helping me write this now as it helps to remember all we tried :). There are 155 rows on the page as I look at it now, and we tried a few more things before we got the service running.
   

Approaches
To put it in technical terms, we tried "a whole bunch of stuff". What we found is that certain approaches would work really well at the start and then get diminishing returns as they solved the 'easier' versions of the problems, or reached the limit of the approach. Thus we were constantly adding new approaches and rebalancing our power based on their continued performance. These are listed roughly in chronological order.
