While large companies develop 00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:17.279 bespoke algorithms, smaller firms have relied 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.740 on off -the -shelf software. The Hive system 00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:23.759 promises to discover superior algorithms that 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.440 human data scientists might overlook. Hiverge 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.379 plans to expand its team and make its technology 00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:37.019 accessible through cloud marketplaces.
