Wisconsin Eagle/10069055

NEW YORK - WisconsinEagle -- AI.Reverie, a pioneer in synthetic data generation and a Forbes Top Machine Learning Startup to Watch in 2020, today announces that it has won an AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to enhance computer vision models for the Department of Defense. The award extends AI.Reverie's successful partnership with the Air Force to the Army.

The Defense Department looks to AI.Reverie to accelerate reconnaissance to the speed required in a contingency environment. The computer vision models that power intelligence-gathering must be trained on data from classified locations and hard-to-reach places. Pentagon AI experts have detailed the high-cost, labor intensive labeling process the data must then undergo before it can be put to work.
