TAIGER
Whilst
we waited for flying cars, the 4th industrial revolution began. This
will fundamentally change the nature of work at every company. Taiger is
leading this transformation and clients that work with us are at the
frontier. We deliver revolutionary results by helping clients replace
‘knowledge workers’ with a more reliable, Artificial Intelligence
powered virtual workforce within all of their processes.
Taiger
is a global leader in cognitive automation for financial enterprises
and governments, present on four continents. We build digital machines
that are faster, better and cheaper than humans in certain work
functions, or make humans vastly more productive in others. These are
big, difficult problems which require equally audacious technical
solutions.
Traditional
structured data is only a fraction of an organisation’s information;
the vast majority of information is unstructured content: documents,
reports, emails, survey forms, voice calls etc. Traditional machine
learning approaches alone cannot solve for unstructured information.
This requires something much more special.
Taiger
fundamentally solves unstructured information access problems and
transforms mere information into executable knowledge. Our product
portfolio is based on a state-of-the-art AI solution architecture for
reuse and agile integration.
Taiger
has a deep expertise in combining 5 of the 7 forms of AI to help make
financial institutions profitable again. This is technically achieved
through the application of semantic and natural language processing
(NLP) techniques, knowledge representation, perception and
concept-extraction and multi-language ontology building skills, which no
other product provider offers.
We undertake cutting edge research and apply the latest technical innovations to solve real problems.
You
should genuinely be excited by an unstructured, fast moving startup
environment where your contribution matters. We are building a culture
and team with those that are generally excited about the technology we
are building and the problems we're solving. Joining a growing team
where your responsibilities have a real potential to expand in scale and
scope should be a compelling proposition to you.
Taiger
Labs is the company's research and innovation center that operates
around three clear axes: maintaining the company's technological level,
developing prototypes that can serve as a basis for new products and
ensure the character of innovation in the application of new
technologies to business processes. Taiger Labs has participated in
several research projects funded by the European Commission in the 7th
Framework Program and Horizon 2020, as well as in national organizations
such as MINECO, MINETUR and CDTI. The work carried out in this area has
not only allowed to maintain the technological level of the company,
but to turn Taiger into a reference in the semantic multimedia search at
a national and European level, developing new prototypes focused on the
market and ensuring its application in the processes of business.
The website of the department can be visited at http://www.taiger.com/rd/ where a list of all the projects that are in the process of development or that have already been completed appears.
