Singapore-based Jarvis, who aims to create a "decentralized conversation platform" offering translation-as-a-service, language bots, and smart contract creation with natural language, has outlined its latest R&D and marketing developments in its 17th weekly report. Work has focused on Jarvis's new deep learning system, with a completed configuration planned for next week, to be followed by model construction and debugging. In addition, a voting management system has entered development, and the results of the Jarvis Mascot Design Contest will be announced soon. Jarvis co-founder Dean Gao spoke at the first annual Bytom Global DevCon in Hangzhou, China. In addition, Jarvis participated in the DoraHacks Blockchain Hack in Japan earlier in the month.
