Valent Algorithms is an artificial intelligence company that applies information-theoretic, derandomization, and compressed sensing techniques to rigorously characterize machine learning models.
The team consists of researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Imperial College London with backgrounds in robotics, data-efficient learning, nonlinear control, randomized algorithms, and reinforcement learning.
Our previous experience includes working with autonomous vehicles, dexterous manipulators, spacecraft deployments, manufacturing machinery, and other safety-critical systems.
We quantify the
utility of information using model-specific representations to build task-specific intelligent systems.
