Cracking the code of “impossible” AI
Green Bay, Wisconsin –
TitletownTech today announced their investment in Synthetaic, a Wisconsin-based synthetic data company growing high quality data to unlock formerly impossible artificial intelligence (AI).
AI’s potential to revolutionize industries, products, and lives everywhere is undeniable. However, data constraints have previously prevented crucial applications of the technology. The sheer amount of data necessary to create valuable, reliable AI models is massive, and in many cases, datasets are private, incomplete, or sparse.
To solve this imminent problem, Synthetaic combines high-fidelity 3D modeling and novel, generative AI, to grow large and high-quality datasets sufficient for machine learning. Synthetaic can produce high-quality training data even if there is no starter sample at all. The company also supervises the subsequent training and deployment of ultra-high accuracy AI models, which outperform models generated using a traditional approach.
“Reducing the blind spots created by sensitive or less available data is critical to advancing robust AI models,” said Jill Enos, Managing Director at TitletownTech.“ Corey and the team at Synthetaic are bringing unique capabilities to predictive modeling, and we are excited to help them advance in the market.”
Corey Jaskolski, the Founder and CEO of Synthetaic, has a deep AI, sensors, and computer- science background. He has led technical projects for clients including NASA, DARPA, and many US Army and Navy Research Laboratories. Since 2012, Jaskolski has been a National Geographic Fellow, creating new technologies for missions across all seven continents.
In late September, Jaskolski was named the 2020 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, a prestigious award granted on the basis of “personifying leadership in exploration and storytelling.” Previous winners include filmmaker James Cameron, among a list of other incredibly talented individuals. Most recently, Jaskolski developed a custom camera array to capture a 3D-digital copy of a critically endangered Sumatran Rhino. It’s this work, in particular, that led Jaskolski to found Synthetaic.
“TitletownTech’s commitment to innovative, high-growth companies has made them the ideal investor for Synthetaic, particularly as we deepen our connections with existing customers and expand to new partnerships,” said Jaskolski. “Most of all, we’re grateful that in TitletownTech we have a partner who shares in our vision of a world in which edge cases no longer exist and breakthrough discoveries are commonplace.””
The impacts of AI will come in many forms – from protecting endangered species from poachers, to helping doctors diagnose medical problems earlier & faster. The applications of AI are vast, the opportunity is huge, and Synthetaic is expanding the outer limits of possibility.
About Synthetaic Synthetaic is the leading synthetic data company. We grow high-quality data that unlocks impossible AI. In some of the most high stakes use cases for artificial intelligence, sample islands have prevented high-quality predictive modeling. There simply hasn’t been sufficient data to train networks effectively, for both still and moving images in particular. With Synthetaic, you no longer have to wait around to accumulate enough data to start the AI project of your dreams. Neither is it necessary to spend a fortune acquiring a novel data trove. We close the gap between the data rich and everyone else. Interested in transcending your data limitations? To learn more and get started, please visit synthetaic.com Synthetaic. Grow Smarter.
