Project Geospatial is proud to host and introduce GeoSpark Analytic's Weekly Pulse as an exploratory trial to give you the latest updates on global events based on a unique Geospatial Technology. This segment is narrated by Marina Franklin, Geospark's Head of Commercial Strategy. The news is generated by GeoSpark's Hyperion application which gathers news from global sources, social media, economic sources, NGOs, and government in near-real-time. Hyperion translates, reads, geo-positions, and analyzes the information to find trends in the data, identify abnormalities, and analyze breaking events impact on local and regional stability levels. Listen in and find out more.

About Geospark Analytics Geopark Analytics was founded in 2017 to inventory the world's critical events to aid the decision making of our clients. By identifying and forecasting emerging global events at machine speed, Hyperion mitigates risk, recognizes threats, and leverages opportunities. Our insights stem from sourced data from space, social media, and news reporting with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language generation. Geospark Analytics has received funding from Zero Gravity Capital and is backed by General Catalyst. The company is based in Herndon, Virginia. More information can be found at geospark.io. If you would like to send us feedback or have questions about GeoSpark's unique technology you can send an email to [email protected]

In this interview, we have the pleasure of bringing on John Beane, CEO, and Cofounder of MemComputing. John discussed the innovative technology that MemComputing brings to the industry to solve challenging computational problems. He also discusses his background while giving career advice for those interesting in exploring the space. Be sure to check out the MemComputing explainer segment after the episode which dives more into the science behind their unique technology.

About MemComputing

MemComputing, Inc.'s disruptive technology is accelerating the time to find practical solutions to the world's most challenging computational problems. The company was formed by Dr. Massimiliano Di Ventra and Dr. Fabio Traversa, with John A. Beane, former Entrepreneur-in-Residence, UC San Diego. Di Ventra and Traversa are the inventors of "memcomputing", a new computing paradigm in which memory performs the tasks of both storing and processing information (as compared to traditional computing based on the von Neumann architecture, where memory and processing are separate).
