Huge congratulations to Piotr Milos, Senior Researcher at deepsense.ai, and the entire team of researchers involved in the success of the AdaSubS algorithm at ICLR 2023! AdaSubS has been awarded the prestigious “notable-top-5%” distinction at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2023.

The AdaSubS algorithm implements an adaptive approach to planning, answering the question of whether artificial intelligence can effectively tackle complex reasoning problems. The algorithm’s success is testament to the dedicated efforts of the talented team of researchers, led by Michał Zawalski, Michal Tyrolski and Konrad Czechowski, and including Tomasz Odrzygóźdź, Damian Stachura, Piotr Piękos, Yuhuai (Tony) Wu and Piotr Miłoś.

“This award highlights the exceptional work and innovation behind AdaSubS, which has demonstrated outstanding performance in combinatorial reasoning tasks. I am incredibly proud of this achievement and would like to extend my congratulations to the entire team for their hard work and dedication. This accomplishment is the result of fantastic collaboration with an extraordinary group of individuals, and we look forward to continued success in the future.”
Piotr Miłoś, Senior Researcher at deepsense.ai.

Tomasz Kułakowski, CEO, gives us an overview of what’s new in the development of deepsense.ai.

How do you rate the past year?
From a global perspective, 2022 was another challenging year full of unexpected events. However, from the viewpoint of deepsense.ai, we had already learned how to adapt to the volatility of the business environment and react in an agile way to such challenges. I would even say that in the face of such dynamic changes, we had a great opportunity to learn and develop much faster as an organization.

The COVID-19 pandemic had significantly accelerated the digital development of enterprises and last year many of them made decisions to implement advanced AI solutions faster and on a larger scale. Therefore, my assessment of deepsense.ai in 2022 is absolutely positive and I am proud of our achievements.

What are you most proud of from the past year?
We live in a world full of questions, where running an international business is a big challenge. I am glad that despite such changing conditions, we have been able to maintain team spirit and deliver state-of-the-art solutions for our customers. In 2022, our international client portfolio grew by 40% and revenue increased by 120% year-on-year. On top of that, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency named us as a Success Story of the Polish IT market alongside champions such as Blik and CD Projekt Red.

In addition to developing commercial projects, we have also focused significant  attention on impacting the global AI community through R&D projects. Our research papers were presented at the NeurIPS 2022 conference, among others, and we were once again amongst the leaders in Kaggle competitions. Moreover, our NLP team has introduced TrelBERT, a language model for Polish social media which has achieved outstanding results in detecting cyberbullying.

Last year, we also focused strongly on structuring processes and strengthening the organizational culture by formalizing the compliance policy covering such areas as diversity and inclusion, standards of cooperation with customers and business partners, sustainable development, and AI ethics, among others.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the IT job market has become even more global, so the fight for the best employees is intense. As part of our talent management and acquisition strategy, we have implemented diverse development programs, participated in industry and scientific conferences, and are active contributors to the AI community. I am glad that these activities have effectively developed our brand as a highly valued employer. This is confirmed by statistics related to our Summer Internship Program 2022 – we had over 2,000 applications for 10 vacancies.

Everything that I have mentioned above is proof of our success, but I emphasize at every opportunity that I am most proud of the amazing energy of the depsense.ai team – 120 people who drive a perfectly functioning machine with their proactiveness, creativity and expertise. I consider this amazing team to be the greatest asset of our company.

What are deepsense.ai’s plans for 2023?
Our plans for 2023 include maintaining high growth dynamics and gradually increasing the number of long-term customers. In order to consolidate our position on the international market, we have started to develop an international sales and revenue generation department. We are conducting advanced recruitment processes to find a new Director of Revenue as well as Sales Executives. The rapid scaling of our business, however, requires not only that we follow the latest technologies and build strong sales skills, but above all maintain the ability to build a motivated team.

In my opinion, the year ahead holds significant promise for deepsense.ai and we can count on maintaining these levels of dynamic development. I look at our plans with both humility and excitement.

Interview with Mateusz Ziebura – a mentee of Robert Bogucki, Co-founder & CTO at deepsense.ai, as part of the EmpowerPL program, established by the Boston Consulting Group and the Federation of Polish Student Associations in Great Britain.

Introduction

Robert Bogucki is a mentor in the EmpowerPL program, which connects business owners, C-level executives, and outstanding experts with young Poles who study at the best universities abroad and in Poland.  As part of the program, Robert has been cooperating with Mateusz Ziebura, a student from De Montfort University. We talked to Mateusz about his participation in the program and his career development.

Why did you decide to take part in the EmpowerPL program?

Mateusz: I found the opportunity to participate in the program extremely interesting on many levels. Most of all, I wanted to find out more about the success stories of people in the tech industry. The opportunity to learn about Robert’s career gave me many new ideas and inspirations for my own professional development. I was impressed with Robert’s openness and his valuable development tips. The second aspect that was important to me was the opportunity to broaden my knowledge of artificial intelligence under the supervision of an expert. I had a great opportunity to take advantage of Robert’s extensive expertise in this field, which allowed me to quickly grasp the key elements from the data science and machine learning domains. My main specialization is cybersecurity, but the meetings with Robert helped me to discover new areas combining cybersecurity and AI, which was an extremely valuable experience.

What is important to you when it comes to professional development?

Mateusz: I am a person who values continuous development and constantly raising the bar. I am aware that, especially in the area of cybersecurity, you need to develop and keep up with the latest technologies and approaches, all the time. With Robert I  discussed the fact that on the one hand the technology industry offers a lot of room for development, but on the other hand it is extremely demanding. I especially remembered Robert’s remark about being flexible and not fixated on one career path. I am fully aware that in 10 years the tech industry will look completely different, and flexibility and the willingness to learn new topics will be the key to success. I also think that in building a professional career it is important to take care of work-life balance; having the time to develop my passion for electronic music is equally important to me.

What did your cooperation with Robert look like?

Mateusz: Once a month, I met Robert online or offline and discussed issues that were interesting to me. Additionally, as part of developing knowledge about artificial intelligence, Robert prepared additional materials for me, which we discussed during our meetings. We also talked a lot about the possibility of implementing AI in the area of cybersecurity.

What did you learn during the program?

Mateusz: I really appreciate all of Robert’s advice on having a flexible approach to various professional challenges and work-life balance. Robert’s openness and willingness to share his knowledge were also a positive surprise for me. I certainly recommend the program to anyone who wants to meet top experts from the tech industry in person and look at the development of one’s career from a new perspective.
