We are so proud to announce that our AI-specialist company nViso with our Financial Services lead product “EmotionAdvisor” has been accepted into the excellent FCA Innovation Sandbox in UK! If you missed it here is a quick overview of who got in.
Our application was focused around testing our Artificial Intelligence behavioural and emotion-recognition technology to prove whether we can help enhance financial services customers’ profiles for use in banking and insurance.
Innovation Sandboxes
But first of all, what's an Innovation Sandbox? Just from my personal view, it's the regulator helping catalyze industry with start-ups to innovate faster around core issues. As we are new to this journey I can so far say it's been super helpful even during the application process to get a better feeling for how the regulator works, and what they're looking for.
As a white-label software provider, it's important we know the applicable rules and stand ready to answer financial services companies myriad processes and questions from their legal, compliance and regulatory as well as business and IT functions. As a CEO I run a team who face long lead times and a shadow of healthy scepticism in every meeting - so having started a process directly with a sharp regulatory team gives me much more confidence that we have all our ducks in a row headed into such a challenging environment.
I’ll be giving you more real-time updates here out of the Sandbox as we begin the testing process in late summer.
What Inspired us to Apply?
Until now, customer profiling and risk assessments have relied on static questionnaires and dogmatic questions around financial ability and appetite to withstand loss. Whereas we know from leading academic research that client behavioural reactions to loss and finance more generally are also correlate to other more intimate characteristics such as thinking style. Our technology can “read” and interpret such thinking styles by observing pre-emotional expression reactions in response to a series of stimuli, for example a short video. It's important to note we are not measuring fully processed emotions, but what happens in the 20-40 milliseconds before a person thinks through and expresses a reaction to another human.
"This is a critically important point - computers can read true emotional reactions better than humans can."
My goals out of the pilot are to further explore the use cases across Financial consumers’ life cycle with any given provider. We believe AI-driven emotional recognition has a number of important applications including prospecting for suitable customers, login and authentication, client profiling, creating active recommendations for products/services, and even as a more complete feedback loop to a client advisor and firm.
Emotion and Customers Financial Decisions are Highly Connected
As cited in the FCA’s RDR finalized guidance (2012), client profiling using automated tools must be reviewed carefully by a firm and enhanced where necessary to make a complete picture.
EmotionAdvisor is a set of skills we are developing for banks and insurers, asset and wealth managers to enhance their client profiles with behavioural finance relevant information in order to make sharper product, offering or advisory recommendations.
Our core belief is the better you know your client, the more accurate your recommendations and the more you can prove you aligned to their best interests.
EmotionAdvisor may be just what you're looking for to help plug that important gap between static MiFid profiling and true behavioural finance inputs.
About Us...
We're not your average early stage start-up talking about AI and machine learning. I've been CEO of nViso since 2009, we have 30 employees and are a spin-off and are still based out of EPFL (often called the MIT of Europe) and are an official partner with IBM Watson for machine learning and data analysis techniques development. We are now launching our fourth major client with our mainline Financial Services SaaS called EmotionAdvisor.
I also head up the European Union’s front-end offense as organizer of BONSEYES, the EU open marketplace for AI which has a budget of double-digit millions to build our Europe’s offensive capabilities and use cases across industry verticals such as Finance, Automotive, Consumer Retail and IoT among others. Our team is largely made up of PhDs and business people who know how to build and shape a product set.

Are you a Head of Strategy, Digital, Innovation or Products & Services at a bank, insurer, asset or wealth manager, or a FinTech with a B2C offering? Send me a DM and I'd be happy to walk you through in more detail how our product set works and the results we've been able to achieve on behalf of our clients to date.
Please comment below with a question or opinion and I look forwards to answering and providing additional insights to all queries.

We are only scratching the surface. The culmination of real time data analytics on truly "big data" with predictive abilities is the disruptive technology that is far past due. It requires a new computing paradigm since the fundamental algorithms involved in handling sparse data is not suitable for Von Neumann architecture with their macho flops running at. 5% peak.

Completely agree we haven't even got to a stage where we have "fit-for-purpose" hardware for AI and data-driven software - we are still running around with legacy hardware repurposed. Once a stream of new hardware solutions can into the mainstream there will major disruption and capabilities available that weren't imaginable before.

Hi FF,

Just an update:

In 2017:

In 2023:

https://nviso.ai/en/news/nviso-s-la...l-neuromorphic-processor-platform-at-ces-2023

NVISO’s latest Neuro SDK to be demonstrated running on the BrainChip Akida fully digital neuromorphic processor platform at CES 2023

The SDK release supports the latest advancements for analysis of complex emotions:​

Following the recent NVISO Neuro SDK milestone release, including two new high performance AI Apps from its Human Behavior AI App catalogue, Gaze and Action Unit Detection, NVISO is pleased to announce that the SDK can be seen running on the BrainChip Akida platform by visitors to the Socionext CES 2023 stand located at the Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility Zone in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Booth 10654.​

...

This latest release of the SDK for use by solution developers will support implementation across an increased range of use case scenarios providing for deployment of a wide selection of NVISO’s existing range of real-time, deep learning-based AI Apps, such as those used for face detection, gaze, head pose recognition, facial analysis, emotion recognition, object detection, gesture recognition and body pose analysis along with its recently announced implementation of state of the art graph-based facial analysis applicable to the analysis of complex emotions. ​

Implementation of complex emotion analysis using state-of-the-art graph-based facial analysis. As one of the most important affective signals, facial affect analysis (FAA) is essential for developing human-computer interaction systems. Early methods focussed on extracting appearance and geometry features associated with human effects while ignoring the latent semantic information among individual facial changes, leading to limited performance and generalization. Recent work attempts to establish a graph-based representation to model these semantic relationships and develop frameworks to leverage them for various FAA task.

Just wanted to a wish everyone a happy New Year!
I try to take a break from the market over the holidays to spend time with family, so now that I'm back at work, BRN is back in sight.

Thanks to all who continued to post regarding BRN, CES 2023 and that great video last night confirming lots of continued partnerships with NASA and more.

Hope you all have a prosperous year, I think we will all be duly rewarded for the hard work, patience and positivity maintained.

Science Fiction is a legitimate way to get a glimpse of the future.
Of course not every scenario comes to fruition and not everything plays out in the reality we share as it may have been envisioned.
Authors will always endeavour to craft their story’s to try and make them entertaining so as to engage an imagined reader.
As in ”true life biography” liberties are taken with time compression, gods eye view and the wisdom and the redrawing of consequence allowed with the benefit of hindsight as well as the imperative of shaping the narrative to fit the authors contention.
However the standard technique revolves around the “what if” scenario whereby the author engages their creative skills with just one or perhaps only a few major impositions upon accepted reality and then proceeds to extrapolate likely consequence.
Ergo, the vast majority of the ‘fiction’ is based on the scientifically verified reality as best it is known/understood at the time of writing.
Many science fiction writers come from the ranks of the various branches of science itself or if not have made an authoritive study of their fields of interest.
So it does not surprise me to hear that prospective authors will be interested in cutting edge technology such as Akida.
It will no doubt become a part of the weft and weave of future imagined worlds as it will be incorporated within ours.

You can just picture PvdM portrayed as Dr Frankenstein, cranking up the Van de Graaff generator:

"It's alive! ... It's alive!"

It has been posted by others a number of times over the weekend. Think @chapman89 was the first and @stuart888 above was the last:



Hope this works.

Within the video you've shared again, just a thought..at the 1:07 mark with the part with Aaron/Todd (sorry no affiliation) where only Todd started the car (I know we've seen this Vid before.)

In Australia at least...adapting driver spotting would be useful for parents with 'L' plates (Learners drivers) where vehicles feats limited (bluetooth, audio volume, etc until they learn the basics) and licenced/recognized passenger must be present for the learn to continue to drive....Advancing them to P's (probation), parents(owners) can limit the travel location/passengers occupancy, this would be useful if parents also got a report if they're doing things they shouldn't,(eg distractions), also in cabin gas detection can monitor alcohol vapour from the driver and lock out anyone on their plates.

Now if you passed this as law like some of the rules already out there, There would have to be a low cost default standard hey! IMO

CES 2023 didn't help with the SP. What will? Waiting game.

 

[Diogenese]

So we've dropped 20% over CES with the nViso/Socionext triple Akida, Prophesee, plus Edge Impulse*, etc:


*( https://au.news.yahoo.com/edge-impulse-brainchip-partner-further-130000377.html )
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Edge Impulse announced today official support for BrainChip's neural processor AI IP, making BrainChip the first strategic IP partner on the Edge Impulse platform. This integration will enable users to leverage the power of Edge Impulse's machine learning platform, combined with the high-performance neural processing capabilities of BrainChip's Akida™ to develop and deploy powerful edge-based solutions.

Luckily Mercedes, Valeo, Renesas etc., kept their traps shut.

CES 2023 didn't help with the SP. What will? Waiting game.

It's all about the foundation laying. It didn't help immediately but who knows what transpired there that will have future repercussions on the BRN business plan. I'm still more positive than I have ever been before with BRN.
And I mean this in a positive way.
We're going to need more concrete

Water and milk.

Subscription is sorted mate you should have a notification.
My brn NASA song.

O the days when brainchip will be able to make
announcements like this.

9 January 2023 ASX RELEASE DroneShield Receives Another $11 million Order DroneShield Ltd (ASXRO) (DroneShield or the Company) is pleased to advise it has received a new purchase order for approximately A$11 million for a Government agency customer. The order includes several different types of DroneShield counterdrone/C-UAS equipment. The order is expected to be delivered by mid 2023. The proceeds are expected to be received across March and June 2023 quarters. The order is subject to receiving relevant export approvals. It follows another $11 million purchase order received from a different Government in December 2022.

I hope we do a shipload better than DRO - their SP was .44 back in Oct 2019 so they've still got a way to go despite recent announcements. I'm just hoping to see our all time high again in 2023, surely that's not expecting too much.

Sorry but what exactly do you plan on doing now that you won't tolerate it?
Why don't you just ask him for more memes, given thats what will happen ahahah

If i can put him on ignore or admin should not allow this sort of stuff. What was wrong in my message.

Maybe read some of the content on this forum rather than ask questions which have already been answered

Look I'm not gonna speak for The Big W, but IMO your message was pretty dumb.
CES maybe brings a little extra attention, but for me, it's just further confirmation that investing in a company like BRN is a good choice.
Everything is on track, partnerships are ongoing. This is nuggets of info to us here, that an avg investor doesn't have.

Did you rush out and buy thousands of BRN shares when CES started off? If not, why would someone else, let alone the entire market?
