We’re taking our R&D team public with Kleene Labs. Internally, it’s where the models that now make up KAI Analytics started, and where we’re building the next ones right now. Demand forecasting, segmentation and media mix modeling all began as research projects before they were general enough to ship, and the pattern has held: the harder the original problem, the better the model that came out of it. So we run open projects with universities, research institutions and companies that have hard problems and the data behind them, and we bring what we learn back into the product.
We’re working in the energy, climate, health and public sectors, and are looking for more. Those fields have problems that are harder than most commercial analytics work, which is the point. The partners get an applied AI team that builds working models rather than papers, and we get better models. If you have the data, domain problem or research team and want an applied AI partner, let us know.
