Since the last year, Intel has been keeping an eye out for companies catering to the Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) operations. In the recent move, the chipmaker giant has acquired Cnvrg.io to ramp up its ML and AI operations.
Cnvrg.io, an Israeli data science company was founded by Leah Forkosh Kolben and Yochay Ettun. It is built to favor data scientists in scaling up AI and building ML models which can be used to train and track multiple models, run comparisons among them, build recommendations, and much more. Additionally, data scientists can focus on devising algorithms and measuring their work instead of building and maintaining the current working platform in place.
