eBay acquires AI-powered big data processor Expertmaker

Expertmaker was founded in 2006; in its own words, the company's "genetics-inspired multi-AI approach, extracts hidden value in your data." I couldn't have said it better myself. So if you have a ton of noisy data, as eBay most certainly does, these are the guys who can wrangle it and produce something useful. Lars Hard, Expertmaker's founder, will continue on as head of the team, though the company will operate under eBay's Structured Data initiative, which is led by Amit Menipaz. The rest of Expertmaker's employees will, mercifully, be allowed to continue working from their office in Malmö.
