Deepmind

Deepmind is a software that seeks to solve intelligence through research. Intelligence makes the world a better place to live in. Deepmind uses real-world applications of Al technology. One of the key application of Deepmind is in the health sector. It has placed advanced technology in the hands of nurses, doctors and patients. Deepmind enables nurses and doctors to instantly analyse test results, determine the right treatment and escalating special cases to the right specialist. Therefore, Deepmind provides more accurate analysis and faster treatment that the patients need.

Deepmind health provides the highest level of security in relation to a patient's data. The data is highly encrypted and cannot be connected to Google accounts or used for advertisements. Deepmind collaborates with Google to apply a cutting edge research to products and infrastructure used by people in the world. Deepmind enables human-level control through deep reinforcement learning. Artificial intelligence is said to excel with a variety of task that are challenging to humans. Deepmind uses hybrid computing using a DNC to use its memory to answer complex questions. DeepMind Lab is a 3D customisable game-like platform tailored for agent-based Al research. It is observed from a first-person viewpoint, through the eyes of the simulated agent.

PySC2 is DeepMind's Python component of the StarCraft II Learning Environment (SC2LE). It exposes Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft II Machine Learning API as a Python RL Environment. This is a collaboration between DeepMind and Blizzard to develop StarCraft II into a rich environment for RL research. PySC2 provides an interface for RL agents to interact with StarCraft 2, getting observations and sending actions.

Cisco Cognitive Threat Analysis

Cognitive Threat Analytics quickly detects and responds to attempts to establish a presence in to environment and to attacks that are already underway all without additional hardware or software to deploy. Cognitive Threat Analytics analyzes anomalous web traffic. It pinpoints attacks before they can begin to exfiltrate sensitive data. Cognitive Threat Analytics identifies both the source and the destination of web traffic. It verifies the legitimacy of the destination, notes the size and type of information that is being returned, and checks what other domains are being communicated with and can detect the exfiltration of your most sensitive data, whether over HTTP, HTTPS, or even anonymous protocols such as Tor. By identifying confirmed threats, Cognitive Threat Analytics eliminates false-positive alerts, reduces the amount of time investigators spend determining the root cause of an incident and helps IT team quickly remediate threats and focus on running business.

CognitiveScale

CognitiveScale is a provider of enterprise Cognitive Cloud software, a new class of big data interpretation and machine learning systems that accelerate decision-making, enhance customer engagement, and improve employee productivity. Powered by Cognitive Cloud Fabric, the Cognitive applications use machine-augmented intelligence to weave actionable insights, predictions, and recommendations directly into enterprise applications and business processes while getting smarter with more data and user interactions. CognitiveScale’s Cognitive Cloud Fabric weaves together artificial intelligence and natural language processing and reasons over structured and unstructured data. This data includes information found in databases, electronic medical records and claims systems, social media, and remote sensing devices.

Numenta

Numenta, is inspired by machine learning technology and is based on a theory of the neocortex. The technology can be applied to anomaly detection in servers and applications, human behavior, geospatial tracking data, and to the prediction and classification of natural language. Numenta has created NuPIC (Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing) as an open source project. Applications include detects anomalies in publicly traded companies, models stock price, stock volume, and Twitter volume related to top market companies, detects anomalies in servers and applications. Learns continuously, automatically discovers time-based patterns in data, and generalizes from experience. Early anomaly detection in streaming data is as difficult as it is important. Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB) is an open source framework that anyone can use to test and compare real-time anomaly detection algorithms. It consists of a dataset with 58 real-world, labeled data files and a scoring mechanism that rewards early detection and online learning.
