SparkBeyond: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Business Breakthroughs

Can machine intelligence boost our creativity and innovation? How can we combine the collective intelligence to solve previously unsolvable problems? “Three years ago SparkBeyond embarked on a journey to build a machine capable of generating and evaluating millions of hypotheses and enabling high impact discoveries,” says Dr. Ron Karidi, Co-founder and CTO of SparkBeyond. SparkBeyond initiated a radical experiment: create the world’s largest library of algorithms, by crawling the web for code, just like Google crawls the web for text. These were later combined with an autonomous research engine, capable of inventing new algorithms, applying them on data and even utilizing the web to conduct deeper research on provided data. This became the world’s first AI-powered research platform, which enables organizations to explore an unprecedented number of factors and combinations and apply “out-of-the-box” thinking on a given problem.

AI-powered research is a novel paradigm, which creates a unique symbiotic relationship between the human analyst and the machine, effectively combining a top-down, (human) domain-knowledge powered approach with a bottom-up, “boil-the-ocean” approach (machine). This allows data scientists to rapidly iterate and impact business value in much shorter cycles than previously possible. The engine is designed to gain experience and improve with usage. The more it is used, the more intelligent it will become.
