Researching Machine Learning concepts and methods dates back as early
as the 1960's. However, this field experienced a bitter setback shortly
after as the networks of that time were not able to learn a simple
XOR gate.
This lead to a longer period of time where almost no significant papers
in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been published. This is
also known as the AI
winter.
This has changed both with important contributions from Geoff Hinton and
others into this field beginning around the early 2000s as well as
dramatic performance improvements of computing hardware in the last years.
The most recent years have revealed exiting advances for previously
unthinkable problems, which have essentially been solved now by applying
Deep Learning methods.
Projects typically start with the client having a vague idea that there exists a potential application within their business processes or their business data that can be solved using Machine Learning or even Deep Learning methods. Hence, we usually start with a low-scope feasibility study to check whether or not the specific problem can be solved with classical engineering methods or indeed is an interesting application for applying AI methods.
Recently finished projects included applying Deep Learning methods to
improve optical character recognition (OCR), audio signal processing on
mobile devices as well as people intrusion detection on low resolution,
infrared cameras.
