The story of the company, our vision and a great team
Four major drivers are enabling the practical breakthrough of (deep) neural networks and artificial intelligence are: the availability of huge amounts of training data for algorithms, the low cost and accessibility to powerful computational architectures, the rate of discovery and applications in research and academia via open source collaborations, the great advances in user interfaces between humans and machines.
Deep learning systems and artificial intelligence now outperform not only classical methods, but also human benchmarks in various tasks like: prediction, decision making, automation, image recognition, speech analysis. This has fuelled the opportunity to quickly evolve existing business models and generate disruptive new businesses.
While we tackle most data-related problems using Python, R, Scala or Java to implement the latest Machine Learning, Deep Learning or Artificial Intelligence solutions, reaching the business objective is our goal – to achieve this we will consider whatever methodology or tools deemed most effective.
Data Science and Advanced Analytics Projects at Nextbit arise from specific and clearly defined business objectives. Based on these objectives, we identify the required data sources, the type of processing infrastructure required, the necessary transformation and interpretation of data, the methods and algorithms best suited to obtain the desired information, the level of user experience necessary for an effective interpretation and interaction by the user.
We have over ten years of experience in applying algorithms and providing data intelligence solutions in a number of industries which include: manufacturing, distribution, finance, telco, insurance, biotech, publishing, fashion.
Excellence breeds excellence - the team is composed of world class Data Scientists, Quantitative Data Analysts, User Experience experts, Data Engineers, top academic graduates with over 100,000 man-days of business application experience. They form talented and diverse teams to address real-life problems.
Our European-based team of experienced professionals believes that by cleverly using data and the latest data science skills we can address most real-world problems, regardeless of the topic (productivity, financial, forecasting, planning, distribution, sales, fraud, energy demand, etc.). Determination, Passion, Curiosity, Teamwork and Self-discipline are the embedded traits of the Nextbit culture. Nextbit is very selective in its recruiting and training, all team members are top graduates (with honors) from established Universities with degrees in one or more of the following subject area: Statistics, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Economics.
