Apple is on the
hunt of buying machine learning companies. Apple bought Perceptio at the
end of 2015 and Turi a few months ago.It recently acquired an Indian
machine-learning startup Tuplejump as it seeks to expand its expertise in
artificial intelligence.
According to a report from TechCrunch, Apple has acquired
yet another. While Apple won’t outright confirm it, Apple provided the typical
response when they are asked during it acquired Tuplejump:
“Apple buys smaller
technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our
purpose or plans” Apple spokesman Colin Johnson said.
Tuplejump is a startup based out of India. The company has
been working on machine learning since its inception. The Tuplejump’s website
has been taken down following the acquisition, Here's how Tuplejump describes
itself...
“A few years ago people realized that the volume of data that businesses generate was becoming
unwieldy. A new set of technologies to handle these huge amounts of data
cropped up. We were one of the early adopters of these ‘big-data’ technologies.
Having helped Fortune 500 companies adopt these technologies, we quickly realized how complicated they were and how much simpler they could get.
Thus started our quest
to simplify data management technologies and make them extremely simple to use.
We are building technology that is simple to use, scalable and will allow
people to ask difficult questions on huge datasets”.
The terms regarding the acquisition are not yet revealed.
Sources say that Apple was particularly interested in
Tuplejump's FiloDB, an open source project that the company was developing to
effectively apply machine learning concepts and analytics to huge amounts of critical
data as it streamed in. According to its github page, FiloDB was primarily
headed up by Evan Chan; Chan’s LinkedIn page says he’s been with Tuplejump
since August 2015.
But will FiloDB live as an open source project? It has
recently moved to its own platform. The new code has been created to pull into
the project.
