Background ike GPS are providing industry leading AI solutions for those provisioning power and communications networks with their pole management platform technology. They had a pretrained model and needed a solution to inference it while supporting auto-scale. Journey Arcanum provided a micro service that infers pole detection for IKE gps, by helping…

We hear Machine Learning used as a buzzword more and more frequently, but what actually is it? Below we will endeavour to leave you feeling ready to explain what the essence of Machine Learning is to any friend or foe with confidence (or at least fake confidence) without talking anyone's…

Background JAVLN is a fast growing NZ insurtech, solving broker pain points with smart software. International market entry is a strategic objective, some of which need new intelligent software capability to be unlocked. JAVLN was introduced to Arcanum through AWS.

Off the back of our previous post re-classifying how we think about the ecosystem of intelligent apps, I thought I’d share an example of how Netflix has used two of the functional AI components — Extraction and Recommendation — to create seamless, personalised “intelligent apps”. Use Case #1 — the Netflix recommendation engine Most of us are probably…

Irrespective of whether you’ve got a strong technical background or not, the subject is incredibly complex. As one customer put it — the whole subject is increasingly inaccessible. This is problematic because it’s a central part of so many organisations’ strategies as they look to the future. What is it…

​Here’s how the AI industry is typically depicted. It’s no wonder it’s so impenetrable for most people. 7 clusters, 78 sub-clusters. 1,000’s of solutions. Good luck with your AI journey! Our approach: When we explain the AI stack, we like to use the analogy of the old-school slide projector. Specifically, the tray…

Embeddings are central to many areas of machine learning. They provide a way to numerically represent things in the physical world that are not naturally numeric. In this blog post, we’ll explore a simple use case: using embeddings to determine pairwise similarities within a collection of animals. Say you’ve found…
