Neurala has launched a new end-to-end SaaS platform for creating custom vision AI solutions. The Brain Builder platform will provide a single tool for data tagging, training, deployment, and analysis. This will make AI more accessible for developers of all skill levels, Neurala explained.
“While investments in AI have increased exponentially in recent years, a staggering 91 percent of organizations still face significant barriers to adoption, including a lack of IT infrastructure and a shortage of AI experts,” said Massimiliano Versace, CEO and co-founder of Neurala. “These challenges are compounded by the fact that every company has their own unique data, use cases, workflows and problems they wish to solve, which demand customized – and resultantly complex – AI solutions.”
LEADTOOLS 20 gets new document and medical imaging capabilities
LEAD has announced new document and medical imaging capabilities in LEADTOOLS 20. Key new features include a zero-footprint 3D volume rendering in the Medical Web Viewer, Forms Recognition speed enhancements, new MICR and CMC-7 line detection algorithms, and new Viewer and Camera Controls for Xamarin.
