Laurent Daudet, (LightOn CTO and Co-founder), Iacopo Poli (Lead ML at LightOn) and Florent Krzakala (consultant at LightOn and Co-founder), are currently at #NeurIPS2019 in Vancouver. One poster will feature some work performed with LightOn’s processing Unit and will be presented by Laurent or Iacopo.

LightOn’s Third Research Workshop

At LightOn, we usually define ourselves as a hardware company that does Machine Learning or a Machine Learning company that does hardware. it depends on who we are talking to. Sometimes we may even mention that we are using light as a means of performing computations of interest to high dimensional Machine Learning.
