- Project: Nostromo
- Industry: Retail, Digital Marketing, and AI Research
- Challenge: Enhancing revenue streams, optimizing operational efficiency, and leveraging AI for business intelligence
- Solution: Custom AI solutions including deep neural networks (DNNs), reinforced learning bots, hybrid algorithms, and automated data crawlers
Background
To drive growth and operational efficiency, a suite of custom AI solutions was developed and deployed for major clients across various industries. These solutions resulted in nearly $3,000,000 in new revenue streams and significant cost savings for clients by automating processes and enhancing data-driven decision-making. Each solution was tailored through direct client consultation and managed throughout the full product lifecycle, from research and prototyping to large-scale deployment.
Solution Implemented
AI-Powered Market Analytics for a Major American Sports Retailer
- Challenge: Understanding Japanese demographics for a new apparel launch.
- Solution: Developed a custom DNN to recognize the brand's logo and a web crawler to scan social networking sites (SNS) for the logo, returning demographic insights.
- Impact: The client discovered a 20-year age difference in the target demographic compared to initial assumptions. The AI-driven insights reshaped their marketing strategy, leading to a more effective product launch.
AI-Based Image Recognition for a Leading Japanese Bank
- Challenge: The bank's online reputation was at risk due to outdated images being misused by competitors on blogs and affiliate sites.
- Solution: Trained a DNN-powered image recognition model to scan over 200,000 URLs and identify outdated or misused brand images. A custom UI was developed to visualize findings in real-time
- Impact: The AI system reduced manual investigation time by over 2,000 hours per month, saving the bank $20,000 monthly while ensuring brand integrity.
Reinforcement Learning for SNS and Search Site Scraping
- Challenge: Search engine and SNS site scraping efforts were hindered by anti-bot detection measures, increasing operational costs.
- Solution: Developed a reinforced learning (RL) bot that mimicked human mouse movements to avoid detection. Created a JavaScript browser plugin for employee browsers to collect real-time behavioral data for training.
- Impact: The bot improved scraping accuracy, reduced Captcha hits, and decreased IP failure rates by 1,500%, significantly reducing cloud server costs.
AI-Powered Client Prospecting for Data Marketing Services
- Challenge: Identifying potential clients for data-driven marketing services efficiently.
- Created a hybrid algorithm combining Naive Bayes Classification, Sentiment Analysis, and DNN models to analyze site content, search rankings, and marketability.
- Impact: Generated over $200,000 in initial contracts with long-term revenue potential. The algorithm doubled the client acquisition success rate from 40% to 80%, optimizing sales efforts and enhancing brand credibility.
AI Research: Japanese Language Content Generation
- Challenge: Developing AI-driven content generation in Japanese, a language with over 2,000 characters compared to English's 26.
- Solution: Implemented a combination of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Vector Word Mapping to improve AI-generated Japanese text.
- Impact: Although not yet in production, the research is now a major focus of R&D, with promising early results for AI-driven content automation.
