Is there a list somewhere of these kind of companies?
- nailer 11y agoNot sure, but biggest one so far is probably Deepmind, from the UK. Magic Pony (machine learning for reverse-compressing video data, re-adding data that was removed during the compression process) is pretty cool.
- kornork 11y agoI'm thinking from the perspective of "I'm sick of working at your standard SaaS. I'd like to see what else is out there for software developers."
- lmm 11y agoIsn't that just a buzzword-heavy way of saying "better video compression"?
- nailer 11y agoNo. AFAICT, it's perceptual reverse-compression: ie, you look at a bad mp4 of a brick wall, and even though it's shitty, you mentally figure out the mass of pixels is a brick wall. Imagine if the computer actually re-added a crisp brick wall there.
- lmm 11y agoVideo compression algorithms already optimize for perception rather than objective measures like PSNR, so I still don't see the fundamental difference.
