Paul Pop
CEO Neurolabs

Neurolabs is on a mission to make Computer Vision useful for Businesses.

It develops algorithms to visually interpret and understand the world, using images from cameras.
Computer vision is a field of AI that trains computers to interpret and understand the visual world, so that machines can accurately identify and classify objects — and then react to what they “see.”
One of Neurolab’s innovation is using synthetic data to feed his Machine Learning systems. This approach substitutes the expensive and rare real-world data required to train Deep Learning algorithms, with synthetically generated data to provide massive low-cost data sets in a fraction of time.

Industry application

Supermarkets – product recognition and automate checkout;

Canteen – Neruolabs created ZIA, an automatic cashier that identifies all products on the tray, eliminates the scanning of bar codes and reduces the time of a collection process from 61 to 15 seconds per transaction.

Education
Both in the country and abroad

The University of Edinburgh. Bachelor of Science (BSc) with Honours- Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science 2008 – 2012.

"Edinburgh was, and still is, really good for computer science and artificial intelligence – it was the obvious choice.”
