New Report on AI in the Energy Market Indicates 49 Percent CAGR and $6.06 Billion USD in Incremental Growth

A new market research report from Technavio indicates that global artificial intelligence in the energy market will grow at a compound annual interest rate of 49 percent from 2019 to 2023. In that period, the report projects incremental growth of $6.06 billion USD. Contributing to this is increasing adoption of cloud-based AI solutions to enhance the capabilities of existing systems, and the growing popularity of AI-as-a-service (AIaaS). Another factor, according to the report, is the growing demand for data integration and visual analytics.

Gopher Protocol Developing Semantic Proximity System for Avant!, Baidu Partners with Volvo, Cisco Launches IT Index and LogMeIn Introduces New AI Features to Bold360

Stocks discussed: (OTCQB:GOPH) (NasdaqGS:BIDU) (NasdaqGS:CSCO) (NasdaqGS:LOGM)

Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) has started developing an advanced semantic proximity system for Avant! AI. In response to a preponderance of data constantly being generated, semantic proximity - which calculates the semantic "distance" between two entities within a sentence - helps to extract the relevant structural knowledge and meanings in textual analytics. Gopher CTO Dr. Danny Rittman explains the new development:
"We are creating a new world of textual, verbal and multimedia analytics and recognition systems. One of the main problems that emerges in the classic approach to semantics is the difficulty in acquisition and maintenance of ontologies and semantic annotations. Especially in our advanced world, when almost everything is done via verbal commands, it is important to enable ease of use and user friendly interface."
Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BIDU) has teamed up with Volvo Cars to develop Level 4 autonomous driving passenger cars for the Chinese market. President and chief executive of Volvo Cars, HÃ¥kan Samuelsson, commented on the strategic partnership:
"With Baidu, we take a big step forward in commercialising our autonomous compatible cars, built on Volvo's industry-leading safety technology. There is a strong development in autonomous drive in China, where Baidu is a leading player, and the market there offers huge opportunities for us as the supplier of choice for autonomous fleets."
Cisco Systems, Inc. (NasdaqGS:CSCO) has launched its IT Operations Readiness Index, which surveyed over 1500 senior IT leaders from across the globe to understand where organizations are on their IT operations transformation journey. Joseph Bradley, Cisco's Global Vice President, IoT, Blockchain, AI, and Incubation Business commented on the index:
"Gone are the days of IT leaders relying on past monthly reports and hours upon hours of manual operational tasks to deliver results in the face of growing infrastructure complexity. Instead, fueled by data and empowered by automation, IT can operate in real-time, be predictive, and rely on detailed data to have a true seat at the table, delivering strategic value for their organization and for their customers."
LogMeIn, Inc. (NasdaqGS:LOGM) has introduced "proactive AI and language features" to its Bold360 software platform. The new development expands use cases and will help companies build a highly personalized and relevant customer experience.

#Tech / #AI News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Developing Avant! AI Advanced Semantic Proximity System

#Tech / #AI News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Developing Avant! AI Advanced Semantic Proximity System



San Diego, CA - November 1, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher"), a company specializing in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, including a global platform with both mobile and fixed solutions, started developing Avant! AI advanced semantic proximity system.


Global data is being generated in a variety of formats, and at a rate that shows no signs of slowing down. Identifying information that can support decision making among sources; for example, thousands of documents, web pages and social media feeds is a complex and time-consuming process. Because it’s simply too much to read quickly, this information is often ignored or only partially used to support organizational processes. Textual analytics help people digest text data more efficiently.


Semantic proximity is a topic that belongs to context textual analytics. Semantic proximity is a calculation of the semantic “distance” between two entities within a sentence providing the ability to determine meanings. Avant! AI includes dynamic models to measure a sentence's structural proximity for knowledge extraction and link predictions. The technology enables measurement and prediction and allows for the elicitation, in particular, of data from textual, verbal and multimedia sources of heterogeneous information.

The engine will be capable to analyze the information and relationships in its semantic context, and among other textual/verbal/multimedia objects in order to extract the relevant structural knowledge and meanings. The advanced algorithm is analyzing contexts in order to narrow down structures and find the exact topic. In addition, the technique improves the performances of meanings recognitions such as disambiguation of entities, query expansion, emotion recognition and multimedia retrieval. A typical semantic proximity technology is used to compute attributes of textual information only.

Avant! system is a private derivative that expands the concept and includes much broader range of analytics and recognition of textual, verbal and multimedia entities.

"We are creating a new world of textual, verbal and multimedia analytics and recognition systems," stated Dr. Danny Rittman, Gopher’s Chief Technology Officer. "One of the main problems that emerges in the classic approach to semantics is the difficulty in acquisition and maintenance of ontologies and semantic annotations. Especially in our advanced world, when almost everything is done via verbal commands, it is important to enable ease of use and user friendly interface.

In the near future, interacting with our Avant! AI is expected to be done via voice commands in natural language (NLP) fashion. It is expected that users will be able simply to talk with Avant! and it needs to understand them correctly. The Avant! advanced semantic proximity system is designed to calculate for each entity in each sentence, then to generate proximity scores to be added together producing an overall proximity score for each entity for the entire set of source texts. This information will be used later to extract the sentence knowledge and meaning even emotions.

The same concept will be applied to verbal or multimedia sources. A complete entity is an ordering of entities in the sentence that follow a predefined logical sequence. The data is passed through another algorithm to analyze its grammar and meaning semantics, creating corpus data that Avant! can process. All this analysis is done in a blink of an eye so Avant! will be able to understand natural language sentences and respond accordingly and accurately."

NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Subsidiary - Fit Pay, Inc. News: Mastercard and Garmin® Expand Garmin Pay™ Contactless Payments to Maestro European Accountholders

Investorideas.com - NXT-ID Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD)

SEBASTIAN, Florida - October 30, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Mastercard, Garmin International, Inc., and Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced that the Garmin Pay™ contactless payment feature will be available for Maestro cards issued by major banks in Europe, including KBC Bank and Insurance (including CBC and KBC Brussels) in Belgium, Rabobank and ABN AMRO in Netherlands and BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas in Italy. The contactless payment feature and digital wallet, which is available on 10 of Garmin's latest smartwatches, enables consumers to make highly secure contactless payments at near-field communication-enabled (NFC) point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
"By adding Maestro, our issuers will be able to expand this innovative solution to their entire consumer base, which will result in more connected and digitally native customers than ever," said Paolo Battiston, EVP Digital Payments & Labs Europe, Mastercard.
Garmin Pay, which launched in November 2017, allows Garmin users to make contactless payments free from having their phone or wallet present. The payment feature includes a digital wallet, which is integrated into the Garmin Connect™ user application. Garmin Pay is now available on 10 of the company's smartwatches, including the D2™ Delta S, D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, fÄ“nix® 5S Plus, fÄ“nix 5 Plus, fÄ“nix 5X Plus, Forerunner® 645, Forerunner 645 Music, vívoactive® 3 and vívoactive 3 Music.
"We are committed to expanding Garmin Pay support to our customers around the world, and we are excited to officially offer that service to Maestro cardholders," said Joe Schrick, Garmin vice president of fitness. "Now, athletes and adventurers throughout Europe can leave their wallet at home when they go to the gym or for a run, making it easier than ever to just get up and go."
Maestro accountholders from numerous participating issuing banks throughout Europe, including KBC in Belgium, Rabobank and ABN AMRO in Netherlands and BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas in Italy, will have the ability to add their account to Garmin Pay, enabling them to make "tap and go" payments at any point-of-sale terminal that accepts contactless payments. Additional issuers on the Maestro network will be added soon.
A February 2018 study by Mastercard, found that one quarter (24 percent) of Europeans expect to start using "tap and go" contactless payments with a smartwatch, bracelet, keyring or other wearable. Between 2018 and 2017, contactless spending on Mastercard and Maestro grew by 145 percent.
"Adding Maestro is a major step forward in expanding the global footprint of Garmin Pay, which is now available in 26 countries and through more than 200 issuers," said Michael Orlando, COO of NXT-ID and President of Fit Pay, Inc. "Mastercard and Garmin have been tremendous partners as we have begun providing consumers worldwide with more convenient, secure and seamless ways to pay."
Garmin Pay is powered by FitPay's Token Requester Management Platform, which enables cardholders to securely add their payment credentials to devices that are integrated with FitPay's token management solution. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders' account information with a unique digital identifier (a "token"), to transact highly secure contactless payments.

Security Industry Podcast: CEO of DirectView Holdings, Inc ( OTC: $DIRV) talks about new contracts and future of security surveillance

Looking at the most recent deal flow, DirectView's subsidiary Virtual Surveillance just signed a master agreement to work with a leading Texas builder, Rogers-O'Brien Construction, a company that has done $1.5 billion in construction volume over the past five years.
Roger shares thoughts on why this is a significant contract, including the fact that the master agreement grants Virtual Surveillance the ability to bid on any jobs in which Rogers-O'Brien Construction is operating as a general contractor.
Roger said of the contract, "They are an awesome organization and that opened the potential for us to be able to bid and get involved with several large-scale opportunities that they are working on in the state of Texas."
Rogers-O'Brien Construction is deploying technology to make sure it stays ahead of costs and industry evolution. The company made headline news in May in multiple publications including Apple Insider  (NASDAQ: AAPL) saying that "The iPad has become an extremely useful tool for one Texas-based construction firm, with a report revealing the use of Apple's tablet by the workforce has saved the company an estimated $1.8 million per year, as well as helping to reduce the amount of hours spent working on projects."
The Apple Insider article goes on to say, "Rogers-O'Brien started using iPads on sites for the last five years, reports Business Insider, in a project overseen by director of applied technology Todd Wynne. Out of the 340 employees working for the firm, 190 possess an iPad for work purposes." 
DirectView's Roger Ralston, talking about Rogers-O'Brien's Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) technology deployment notes, "That again points to what an honor it is to be chosen by them to be their provider for security cameras, access control and peripheral space. They obviously know what they're talking about, as they are a tech savvy company and they are into cutting edge applications and equipment and they've agreed to work with us, which I think says a lot about our ability and the products and services we sell."
Looking at the growth in the global video surveillance market, which according to research is estimated to reach $62.62 Billion by 2023, Roger discusses how his company is reflecting that growth and seeing it first-hand. 
Discussing an earlier contract signed this year (Company announced in July that it had received additional orders and began fulfillment of an additional multi-year contract for $3.7B publicly-traded GRUMA (GRUMAAB.MX) subsidiary Mission Foods), Roger talks about the momentum and how one contract can potentially lead to multiple contracts if you are dealing with large corporations.
 "That was a very big feather in our cap, to win that account. We've done multiple installations with them and are working towards additional installations in the future. As you know they are a global organization, so starting here in the US with them does not limit us from going further than that."
When asked about which markets are expected to see the most growth in the security sector over the next few years, as far as who will need the most security in the shortest amount of time, Roger went on to discuss the continued need for security in the US as well as internationally.
Roger said "There's definitely growth in the US as far as security goes. Things that people have seen in the news, from school shootings that have happened here in the US, which have brought security to the forefront, from people sending bombs in the mail, to the tragedy that happened here in the synagogue today, the more security we have, the more security will catch people doing things like that. There's definitely a growing need for security cameras. It's growing here in the US, and South America and Central America have an absolute need, and even Canada. We're looking at the Canadian space and have recently announced we're exploring a dual listing in the Canadian market. The cannabis market that was just legalized will bring about a big need for security cameras. The opportunities are very bountiful."
Looking at the future of the sector and how technology, including artificial intelligence can play a key role, Ralston stated, "The surveillance industry is continually evolving. We are now offering artificial intelligence. We've got a product that we have where if you want to search for everyone that was wearing a red shirt that came through your door, you can find it. If you want to see every time a UPS driver went by, you can find that as well. We are looking to be cutting edge and we have cutting edge products. There is no market that we cannot serve."
Other companies like FLIR® Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR), have recently announced similar products such as the FLIR Firefly® camera family, the industry's first deep learning inference-enabled machine vision camera.
"Automated analysis of images captured by machines is a key part of our day-to-day lives that few of us think about," said James Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR. "The quality, affordability, and speed-to-market of items like our smartphones or the food on our tables are made possible by systems using cameras doing both inspection and automated production. With the FLIR Firefly, powered by Intel Movidius Myriad 2 VPU, we are enabling the designers of these systems to leverage deep learning faster and at lower costs."
The AI in security market is expected to reach $11.95 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of around 34.9% during the forecast period, according to recent research.
The report concludes, "AI in security provides an enticing proposition with its proactive threat mitigation capabilities, which is needed for constant supervision and adaptation to the multifaceted security vulnerabilities."
