We’re a tech startup, doing R&D in Real-time Machine Learning
The puzzle…
People learn a lot from very few examples, without forgetting similar things they already knew. But machine “deep learning” can’t do that: it requires offline training with tons of data, and can’t handle updates without retraining. Why?
Why it matters
for business.
As companies reorganize their data infrastructure around event streams, they’ll need AI models that can adapt in real time, for a wide range of applications such as analytics, recommender systems, and anomaly detection.
for robots.
Ideally robots would learn a lot on their own, like kids do, with adults providing safety and pointing out good and bad behavior. However, state-of-the-art reinforcement learning for AI can’t come close to “learning a lesson” in real time.
for science!
Our brains learn in real time. If we knew how, it would be a step toward treating brain disorders, improving educational methods, and simply understanding who we are.
“We can’t do this with machines today, which means that we’re missing an essential piece which evolution has figured out but … we haven’t figured out yet.”

“… there is no model that is capable of assimilating new information while simultaneously and efficiently preserving the old.”
