According to a new report published late yesterday, Apple has acquired machine-learning startup Inductiv Inc., adding to more than a dozen AI-related acquisitions by the technology giant in the past few years.
The engineering team from Waterloo, Ontario-based Inductiv joined Apple in recent weeks to work on Siri, machine learning and data science. According to Bloomberg, Apple confirmed the deal.
Patently Apple has learned of a few key Inductiv team members that are now working for Apple as follows:
Josh McGrath: Machine Learning Engineer
Ryan Clancy: Software Engineer. Prior to joining Inductive he was a Teaching Assistant in Data-Intensive Distributed Computing.
Mina Farid: Machine Learning
Ihab Ilyas: Co-Founder of Inductiv. His current bio has not listed a move to Apple yet.
Bloomberg further reported that “Inductiv developed technology that uses artificial intelligence to automate the task of identifying and correcting errors in data. Having clean data is important for machine learning, a popular and powerful type of AI that helps software improve with less human invention.
The work falls under the category of data science, a key element of Apple’s broader machine-learning strategy.” For more on this, read the full Bloomberg report.
