Barclays Techstars start-up Seldon drives open source machine learning

Some 250 billion billion (250 x1018) transistors were produced in 2014. That means that every second of that year, on average, eight trillion transistors were produced - about 25 times the number of stars in the Milky Way (this statistic is from 2014, so according to Moore's Law production should now have doubled). The enormous surge in computing power which we are witnessing heralds some other lapel-grabbing metrics: 58% of job activities can be automated; 47% of jobs will be lost to cognitive machines in the next ten years. Taking advantage of this exponential is a wave of machine learning, deep learning and AI specialists. One such company is Seldon, a talented start-up selected to join the Barclays Accelerator powered by Techstars.
