synbrAIn - The Human-Machine Cooperation
synbrAIn

Velocità, accuratezza, abilità operativa. Non c’è gara: l’abilità esecutiva dei computer è nettamente superiore a quella umana. Eppure nessuna macchina è dotata di istinto, empatia, senso etico.

synbrAIn lavora affinché l’essere umano si relazioni in modo responsabile con la macchina, per migliorare il lavoro e la vita delle persone.

Chi siamo
synbrAIn

I datideterminanoil nostro metodo di analisi

Per noi sono solo il punto di partenza: è la natura del dato a determinare il metodo d’analisi vero e proprio. In più, l’obiettivo da raggiungere determina la scelta degli algoritmi da utilizzare. La qualità dei dati deve essere migliorata il più possibile per istruire in modo efficace le capacità predittive delle reti neurali. Spesso misconosciuta o sottovalutata, questa è in realtà una delle fasi più critiche di un progetto di Intelligenza Artificiale.
