Development of a Bidding simulation environment

Addictive Tech Corp is a fast-growing ad-tech company. They use real-time advertisement bidding software which is massive and sophisticated. The actual dynamics involved in any given bid are complex and hard to predict. This makes writing test logic for such a system cumbersome and catching all corner cases next to impossible. Because of the scale […]

Automated Model Tuning for Retail

Artificial intelligence, especially Machine learning algorithms, plays important roles in building recommendation systems and promotional forecasting systems for retailers. However, training a machine learning model requires the choice of a number of significant features and requires tuning a large set of configurations. Therefore, it takes a long time for humans to find the optimal configuration […]

Segmentation of 3D microscopy images

In-vivo imaging provides a unique opportunity to examine complex cellular activity in live tissue. Images produced by these experiments are difficult to analyze manually, typically applied to mono-layer cell culture assays (i.e. cells in a dish). Recent advances in deep learning enable the opportunity to analyze these in-vivo tissue images with greater efficiency and accuracy. […]

Privacy Enhanced Decentralized Identity System

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem.  While […]
