Tomasz Kulakowski, CEO, summarizes last year and outlines deepsense.ai’s plans for 2022.

In 2021, business still operated in the “pandemic mode”. Was 2021 different than 2020 for deepsense.ai?

Nobody expected the pandemic to last this long. From a business point of view, in 2020 we did everything we could to endure this difficult time, with the great hope that 2021 would bring a return to the old, pre-pandemic reality. Meanwhile, another year of the pandemic has passed. It teaches humility and an agile approach to business development.

As far as developing the deepsense.ai strategy is concerned, in 2021 we started to take full advantage of all the opportunities brought by the pandemic. Paradoxically, remote work has reduced the distance between us and new, potential Customers. More Clients changed their perspective and realised that working with a partner from the other side of the globe can be as effective as working with a supplier from the same country. Not only that – with tools such as G Suite, Zoom, Slack etc. used widely by our Clients as internal collaborative tools, yet allowing seamless collaboration with us – we have become full-fledged team members. The outlook for deepsense.ai development has become even more global.

What are you most proud of from the past year?

In a way, I am repeating my answer from last year, because I am still more than proud of the People who make up deepsense.ai. The dynamic development of deepsense.ai is our common success and I am glad to see the constant enthusiasm and commitment.

I am also satisfied with the development of our portfolio of projects. In 2021 we grew by 55% and we won some new Customers – global brands – that trusted us in automating key business processes. Additionally, we have deepened our cooperation with existing Clients. I am pleased that our clients are increasingly thinking about long-term cooperation with us. For many, we have become not just an AI vendor for one-off AI implementation, but an AI partner involved in building competitive advantage through data analysis and automation.

Moreover, with the challenges of remote/hybrid work models and tech recruitment becoming more and more demanding, it has been increasingly difficult for some of our Clients to cater to their AI needs relying only on internal resources. I am happy that with our help, together, we were able to streamline new developments and jumpstart all the exciting projects that we get to do as partners.

The pandemic has forced a change in the approach to doing businesses in almost every industry. In my opinion, it has resulted in even greater openness to AI-driven solutions. Clients appreciate that thanks to cooperation with us, they do not have to waste time on long-term and costly in-house AI team-building. It enables the rapid achievement of visible results, crucial in times of uncertainty.

What are deepsense.ai’s plans for 2022?

We plan to continue our development in the areas of computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, through the implementation of both commercial and research projects.

We are looking at some interesting trends that might affect the future shape of the industry. I specifically mean the rise in importance of the MLOps field that signifies a growing maturity of the AI ecosystem. We are seeing a shift from curious experimentation towards mature pipelines and maintainability. This has aligned well with the emergence of powerful language modeling methods that will further widen the possibilities in NLP-based solutions.

I am optimistic about the development of deepsense.ai in 2022 and I already know that this year will bring us many interesting projects and challenges.

Once again deepsense.ai is a ML in PL conference partner. As it does every year, the event is focused on discussions around machine-learning best practices both in academia and in business.

The 2021 edition will feature outstanding international experts, including: Yoshua Bengio (Full Professor at Université de Montreal), Marta Kwiatkowska (Professor at University of Oxford), Rich Caruana (Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft) as well as Marta Garnelo (Research Scientist at DeepMind). On behalf of deepsense.ai at the event, Robert Bogucki, CTO, will take part in the discussion “Prospects for ML in Poland: education and work”.

The event is organized by the ML in PL Association – a non-profit organization devoted to fostering the machine learning community in Poland and promoting a deep understanding of ML methods.

On October 25-26, the 4th edition of AI & NLP Day (online) will take place. As it has every year, the conference will attract specialists in the field of artificial intelligence and natural language processing.

During the event, Artur Zygadło (Senior Data Scientist at deepsense.ai) together with Gianmario Spacagna (Director of Artificial Intelligence at Brainly) are presenting a lecture on “Automated Content Quality Assurance for Crowdsourcing Educational Platforms.” Gianmario and Artur will analyze the Brainly Social Q&A platform that allows more than 350M students worldwide to ask questions and seek help in their homework and studying. The talk will cover some modeling and engineering aspects of building NLP systems.

deepsense.ai is pleased to announce its participation at VISION Stuttgart (Oct 5-7) – the world’s leading trade fair for machine vision, where we will present our state-of-the-art services.

VISION provides a unique overview of the entire range of machine vision products and services together with insights into current and future technologies.

Combining visual control technology with machine learning, deepsense.ai is able to tackle complex problems that can’t be solved with simple solutions based on human effort alone. We create diverse AI-driven, computer vision-based solutions that take on the most demanding challenges across diverse environments.

“After a year away because of COVID, we are enthusiastically returning to the VISION trade fair. We value and look forward to having direct meetings with clients, both old and new, and we’ll be happy to engage in discussions about their challenges and potential computer vision solutions”

– Dawid Nguen, business manager at deepsense.ai.

The deepsense.ai team looks forward to seeing you in Stuttgart. Come and visit us in hall 8 stand C20.
