Michael Schmidt: Fitting data with complex machine learning models is solved
“So, one interesting thing is it's actually really, really easy to fit data. It's actually, it's quite boring. You know, you have, you know, a really large, complex model. Maybe it's a neural network. Maybe it's a random forest. Or maybe it's just a really larg…”

Nutonian's Eureqa software is installed on 50,000 systems across 90 countries
“So we've been installed over, I think we're up to about 50,000 systems now in about 90 countries, and we're growing by about, you know, 1500 new users, new trials of the software per month.”
Assertion Contradicted
Nutonian's Eureqa software is cited in 80,000 independent peer-reviewed publications
“Seeing all the publications that are coming off where they're citing us in the results, so up to 80,000 independent peer-reviewed, you know, publications where we're directly citing the results of this cutting edge research.”
Assertion Supported
Michael Schmidt's graduate research on symbolic regression was published in Science
“We got published in Science.”

Nutonian helped the U.S. Air Force detect material cracks 10x faster
“One of our other biggest customers is the Air Force, and this is a case where they do a ton of work trying to detect when failures happen, and there's a lot of things that go into failures, and actually being able to detect when cracks form, microscopic cracks…”

Nutonian represents equations as binary trees in memory for symbolic regression
“We're searching the space of non-linear equations, where we represent these as a binary tree in memory, where every operation is, you know, every node is an operation, like a mathematical operation”
Disclosure
Nutonian's Eureqa software is free for academic research
“If you're academia, you can use it for free, you know, for all your research, and I encourage you guys to do that.”
