Hyderabad: Cube26, a tech startup, has tied up with IIIT-Hyderabad for image search and cognitive intelligence research. The image search will allow one to get the information of a product by uploading its photo.
The year-long project will select 2-3 postgraduate and 5-6 undergraduate students of IIIT-Hyderabad, who will further strengthen the data science capabilities of Cube26.
“We have been into the data science research for long and feel that mobile dialogue should shift from what you are searching to what you could be searching. The tie-up with IIIT-H is in line with our plans to bolster customer experience powered by cognitive intelligence. One professor and a team of students will work with our research team to develop a prototype,” said Saurav Kumar, founder of Cube26.
Talking about the partnership and their role in the whole process, IIIT-H dean Vasudeva Varma said, “We are into a technology partnership with Cube26 and the tie-up will help our students with hands on experience of working in a start-up environment.”
