Goldsmiths melt into Tungsten

Tungsten Corporation, an invoicing and analytics firm, is partnering Goldsmiths University on a joint venture which will conduct research and development on artificial intelligence.

The Tungsten Centre for Intelligent Data Analytics (TCIDA) will develop software utilising AI and big data techniques which can be used in Tungsten’s business. It will also support three professors and fund PhD and post-doctoral research.

Mark Bishop, director of TCIDA, said: “In the commercial, banking and finance sectors, AI systems and raw computer power have now advanced to the position where modern algorithms can be usefully applied to analyse very large data-sets. Research and development at TCIDA will be targeted to exploit the very latest AI techniques. Goldsmiths is delighted to partner with Tungsten Corporation in this innovative initiative to further the UK’s globally leading scientific and technology development, through such areas as Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning and Reservoir Computing for commercial application with Tungsten.”
