our vision
and mission
Our mission is to make use of artificial intelligence for mitigating the societies impact on the environment. We’ve arrived at a moment in our history in which we must take concrete actions to revert the damages caused by our lifestyle on the environment. These damages range in different domains but mostly impact the weather, our health, and our welfare. We believe artificial intelligence is one of the most powerful resources to accomplish this change and for that reason, we have chosen this enterprise as our mission. Deep Ambiente is artificial intelligence for a healthier environment.
About
deep ambiente
Deep Ambiente starts off in 2015 as a Ph.D. and postdoc research group at Universidade of Federal Santa Catarina, Brazil. In that year, Marlon Henrique Teixeira was coming back from the United States where he was doing part of his Ph.D. at University of California, in San Diego, and finds Leonel Teixeira Pinto doing outbreaking researches at his Neuroengeenering lab at the Federal University of Santa Catarina.
They decide to sum up their forces, along with other professors of the same university, to make groundbreaking researches and innovative approaches to different topics involving neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and so on. Aiming to obtain more resources and quickness for making science, Marlon decides to found an artificial intelligence Startup, which was called ShiftOne Artificial Intelligence. Suddenly the group got a contract to develop a project for the Nexa Resources Company through the Mining Lab Challange, in 2018.
At this time Leonel was exclusively dedicated to the Federal University of Santa Catarina, where he taught as a full professor. In the next year, ShiftOne was selected to develop the energy disaggregation project along with the companies Engie Brazil and Senai – now with Leonel making part of the group. This project changed the course of the Startup which used to be seen as a simple machine learning service provider and now has the mission to make our environment a better, healthier, and cleaner place to live in. This reorientation, focused mainly on energy efficiency, has motivated the company’s name change to one that could better represent this new moment, namely: Deep Ambiente. The word “deep” is for deep learning, which is one of the most profitable technics in artificial intelligence today, and “Ambiente” means “environment” in Portuguese. In 2020, Deep Ambiente has been chosen to be accelerated by the Eletrobras Lab Procel, and elected the best scientific group among all the competitors. Today, the Deep Ambiente has different solutions for energy efficiency along with many partnerships for making our environment a better place to live.
