Technology
Skymind has implemented neural networks such as convolutional networks, recurrent networks (including LSTMs), restricted Boltzmann machines, deep belief networks, deep autoencoders and word2vec.
Applications and Use Cases
Skymind's deep neural networks can be applied to use cases such as fraud and anomaly detection, recommender systems, machine vision, machine translation, machine transcription, face and voice recognition, time series predictions, business intelligence and econometric analytics. In particular, they have been used to bring financial institutions into BSA AML compliance to detect money laundering efficiently. They are able to perform dimensionality reduction, classification, regression, collaborative filtering, feature learning and topic modeling.
Skymind Intelligence Layer (SKIL)
The Skymind Intelligence Layer is Skymind's enterprise distribution of its open-source libraries. It is a pre-built and pre-configured collection of software packages focused on machine learning that can be installed and used together. SKIL is an operating system for deep learning, integrating with Hadoop, Spark and Kafka while running dockerized on Mesos.
Deeplearning4j
Deeplearning4j is an open source deep learning library written for Java and the Java Virtual Machine and a computing framework with wide support for deep learning algorithms. Its algorithms all include distributed parallel versions that integrate with Hadoop and Spark.
ND4J
ND4J is a free, open-source extension of the Java programming language operating on the Java Virtual Machine—though it is compatible with both Scala and Clojure. It includes the Scala wrapper ND4S.
DataVec
DataVec is a software library for the preprocessing and vectorization of data. DataVec can normalize, standardize and vectorize all major data types, such as text, time series, image, video and sound.
JavaCPP
JavaCPP is the bridge between the Java and C++ programming languages, which avoids much of the overhead of the Java Native Interface (JNI) to allow programmers on the JVM a way to perform computationally intensive tasks quickly. It was created and is maintained by a Skymind engineer.
