Microsoft AI Faves
February 9, 2016
I noted a blog post called “From Discovery to Selection: Announcing the Seattle Accelerator’s Third Batch.” The post lists companies which Microsoft wants to nurture. Here’s the list:
- Affinio: Audience insights
- Agolo: Summarization of text
- Clarify: Rich media search
- Defined Crowd: Natural language processing
- Knomos: Palantir style analysis
- Medwhat: Doctor made of soft software
- OneBridge: Middleware for Microsoft cloud
- Percolata: Retail staff monitoring
- Plexuss: Palantir style analysis
- Sim Machines: Similarity search and pattern recognition
Net net: Microsoft continues to hunt for solutions in search and analytics. There is a touch of “me too” in the niche plays too. Persistence is a virtue.
