I looked into these guys a month ago, they have a great team of young researchers.

The main application I saw was applying neural networks to video compression, improving compression by 3x or more (I guess by regenerating the lost detail?). Not sure if Twitter has much use for that but it looks like they have patented a bunch of other stuff too, and I'm sure will be a great addition to twitter's ML team.

Congrats to the guys - and hope they continue creating interesting tech in old blighty after the vesting period is over.

Periscope could use it.
Do you have a link to the compression stuff?
Pied piper?
It's almost too good to be true, isn't it?
