SIGMIND is collaboratively working with top AI research giants like Google Deepmind, Microsoft and Facebook to share different open source software and hardware framework in low cost scalable parallel machines. The true potential application of AI come in frontier very recently until 2006 with the development of deep neural autoencoder. Furthermore, after 2012, deep neural network has been revolutionizing state-of-the-art machine learning application with the help of GPU processing. After 2013, deep reinforcement learning played extraordinary performance in classic Atari games which brings the first step towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). And we are working for the milestone when AGI instantly run towards Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) within few decades.
