Cyber AI You Can Trust
Much of the progress we’ve seen in artificial intelligence in the past five years is due to deep learning. Advances in software algorithm models, processing power and dramatically lower costs have put deep learning within reach of more companies, opening the door for broader innovation in applications. We believe deep learning will transform cybersecurity.
Tin Kam Ho publishes a paper describing random decision forests
Along with David Rumelhart and Ronald Williams, Geoffrey Hinton publishes a paper entitled “Learning representations by back-propagating errors”. In this paper they show that neural nets with many hidden layers can be effectively trained by a relatively simple procedure.
Deep Blue – designed by IBM – beats chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a six-game series. Our CEO Nayeem Islam participates as part of the IBM Deep Blue supercomputer team.
The Google Brain team, led by Andrew Ng and Jeff Dean, create a neural network that learns to recognize cats by watching unlabeled images taken from frames of YouTube videos
Google’s AlphaGo program becomes the first Computer Go program to beat an unhandicapped professional human player using a combination of machine learning and tree search techniques.
Blue Hexagon launches network threat protection harnessing deep learning, delivering threat detection in less than a second, at 10G wire speed.
” It’s very, very rare to see a step function better technology. As soon as the Blue Hexagon team talked me through their idea and showed me what they had, I knew that this was a step function better and would actually completely change how we think about malware detection today.” – Eric Vishria, General Partner, Benchmark.
