Adeptmind is an AI company innovating in e-commerce search using active learning and deep learning. Its co-founders recently came out of a quite successful sale of their previous company, Maluuba This time around, they raised over $5.5 million in VC funding to date, and aim to grow a heavy-hitting, Silicon Valley-style team right here in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Over the past year, Adeptminds stock value grew 10x. We’re striving for 100% accuracy in e-commerce search out of the box. Unfortunately, no ML algorithm by itself is 100% accurate. We incorporate live human agents in our service pipeline. This human machine hybrid allows for very high accuracy and quick data bootstrapping. Our architecture makes us one of the first companies to deploy deep active learning in a consumer facing use case.
