Sensing The External World At Signal AI

Maybe it stems from my childhood fascination with crystal balls and the Magic 8 Ball, but I have always been interested in predictions of the future. Machine learning has done a great job with predictions based on past data about events and behaviors, but it hasn't generally been applied to making sense of the broader world. But that is just what Signal AI is doing with machine learning. They produce "external intelligence" intended as an aid to decision-making. It could also be called "environmental sensing."
