GE Acquires Wise.io to Accelerate Machine Learning Efforts

GE Acquires Wise.io to Accelerate Machine Learning Efforts

GE have just announced a deal that saw its GE Digital division snapping up the machine learning startup Wise.io in a deal that has been kept so far quite quiet. The company has acquired Wise.io in an attempt to strengthen its own deep learning techniques with the business. They will also be looking to have the team from Wise make improvements to their own Digital Twin services that are focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) [read more ... and more ...].
