Cambridge Consultants

To get ahead of the trends in AI, several years ago Cambridge Consultants built its own research lab and development facilities, known as the Digital Greenhouse. There the company is discovering, developing, and testing new approaches to machine learning. Algorithmic models developed in the Digital Greenhouse are continually assessed to understand how they can best be used across diverse fields such as medical diagnostics, security and intrusion detection, industrial automation, and more.

To showcase the possibilities of deep learning, Cambridge Consultants developed Vincent, an AI technology demonstration that can complete a drawing that has been started with a human sketch. Completed “works of art” combine a user’s sketch with the digested sum of art since the renaissance, as if Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Picasso were inside the machine, producing art to order. Teaching Vincent to paint took seven neural networks working nonstop for 14 hours and generated millions of practice files.
