Blockchain security technology is all the rage these days. Bitcoin brought the tech to popularity but we've found that the Ethereum blockchain is a valuable tool for research & development. Our innovation team set out to customize the Ethereum blockchain and create a real-life use case. Our expertise in IoT technology made this project a bit of a no-brainer. 

Neural networks have been able to achieve groundbreaking accuracy at tasks conventionally considered only doable by humans. Using stochastic gradient descent, optimization in many dimensions is made possible, albeit at a relatively high computational cost. By splitting training data into batches, networks can be distributed and trained vastly more efficiently and with minimal accuracy loss. We have explored the mathematics behind efficiently implementing tensor-based batch backpropagation algorithms. A common approach to batch training is iterating over batch items individually. Explicitly using tensor operations to backpropagate allows training to be performed non-linearly, increasing computational efficiency.

Machine learning is a hot trend in the tech industry, and for good reason. As the technology continues to advance, companies will be able to use machine learning models in an abundance of real world applications. While our engineers love to build new products, we understand the importance of research. AndPlus is proud to be the Boston area's only tech company to conduct and publish research in the field of machine learning.
