RealityEngines.AI Becomes Abacus.AI RealityEngines.AI is an AI research company that is focused on hard problems that enterprises have. Our research will be packaged into easy-to-use pay-as-you-go cloud service(s) that will be accessible to all enterprises. Abacus.AI does research and offers cloud AI services to help companies of all sizes easily and effortlessly embed cutting-edge deep learning models into their business processes or customer experiences. Customers pick a use-case and point to their data. Our AI engine then creates a state-of-the-art deep learning system using the customer’s dataset, that can be used to generate predictions. Behind the scenes, our AI engine packages our research on generative models and neural architecture search to deal with noisy or incomplete data, then finds the best neural network that models the customer’s specific dataset and use-case. In addition, the engine handles setting up data pipelines, scheduled retraining of models from new data, provisioning high availability online model serving from raw data using a feature store service, and providing explanations for the model’s predictions. Our vision is to truly democratize AI by making state-of-the-art AI techniques available to organizations of all sizes. In order to achieve this, we need to make systems that can automatically create robust AI models. We also need techniques that work in cases where there is noisy, incomplete or little training data. We are actively pursuing a number of research areas and will continue to package our inventions into our cloud AI service to make this vision a reality.
