artificial intelligence - Biomedical Devices - machine learning - materials - renewable energyScientists, engineers, product designers, and entrepreneurs use Mergeflow to discover and explore emerging technologies, companies, ideas, experts, and new markets. Mergeflow is a powerful data collection and analytics software. It collects contents from across diverse R&D and business information sources. Algorithms analyze these contents to discover companies, emerging technologies, market estimates, R&D experts, and other insights. As a result, Mergeflow automates many of the information gathering and organizing tasks that a research analyst would perform manually.
You've probably heard about the amazing capabilities of some recent AI models, such as GPT, AI21, or BLOOM. Perhaps you use one of these models yourself. Either directly, or through another product like Wordtune, YouWrite, Jasper – or ChatGPT. It turns out that while these models are trained on language data, they can be used for other applications as well. In my latest article, you can read more about applications in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and even building management.
Our very first customer at Mergeflow was very good at beating "not invented here" syndrome. He was a very accomplished science entrepreneur. A physics PhD by training, his career spanned semiconductor research, leading a new business unit, and commercializing a whole range of technologies into successful spinoff companies. In this article I describe the hands-on methods he used to beat "not invented here" syndrome in his organization.
When you ask people to name a few cutting-edge technologies, they’ll probably mention artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, perhaps synthetic biology… but probably not welding. But while welding usually doesn’t make front page headlines, it has many interesting facets. It involves materials science, robotics, metallurgy, and, yes, machine learning. And you need welding for making all kinds of things: buildings, for example; bicycles, ships, aircraft, cars, kitchenware, power plants, turbines, body implants, textiles–and rockets.
