Riiid, a leading provider of AI-powered education solutions and member company of Born2Global Centre, has announced the launch of R.test, an AI-powered Platform designed to help students prepare for standardized tests, including the digital SAT and ACT. With R.test, students can predict test scores with high accuracy in only a quarter of the time it takes to complete full mock tests. R.test's AI engine provides students with an overview of their current test-taking habits and predicts the correctness of answers for questions that they have not solved. The platform analyzes students' weaknesses and offers actionable guidance on how to improve, including an AI-curated selection of relevant practice questions. It also provides students with an analysis of their time spent answering questions, highlighting areas where they need to work more quickly.

The insights offered by Big Data are key to many businesses today. Getting the information that's hidden within it isn't easy but there are plenty of companies set up to help organisations do just that. Trifacta is one such company. It specialises in cleaning and preparing data, ready for it to be mined for key information, or train machine learning algorithms. One of its key products, Cloud Dataprep, makes use of Google's large cloud infrastructure footprint, which puts the data preparation tool in the hands of all manner of companies.
