MATIS
Art has always been a place for investment, yet reserved for high-value artworks and privileged individuals. Nowadays, middle-range value artworks, preponderant in the art market turnover, are becoming a suitable investment with appraisals up to 20% after authentication. Still, as half of the artworks in circulation might be fake, middle-range value artworks are perceived by new investors as risky: thorough art expertise relying on rigorous authentication are critical in transactions.
Therefore, technical analyses such as advanced optical techniques have been developed to assist art experts in the authentication process. Among them, multispectral imaging revealing pigment identification, underdrawings, and erased signatures, provide precious data during the authentication process. These analyses are relatively costly compared to such artworks, difficult to perform, and often require additional logistic costs (transportation and insurance). For those reasons, an overwhelming majority of artworks do not go through the authentication process and become a “lost market value” for experts.
MATIS multidisciplinary team proposes a new approach. Our multispectral camera is based on utility and security. With the use of specific machine learning-derived image processing algorithms, we found a way to drastically reduce the hardware costs and enhance the underdrawing visualization, fitting the needs of the art experts as well as obtaining a robust pigment mapping and identification. With a secured online database, this camera, easy to use, gives art experts broader access to the authentication market and will make MATIS the reference in the authentication market.
MyPart is an AI-powered song search and matching platform with products that serve both songwriters and creative industry executives. The company is a proud graduate of UMG’s exclusive Abbey Road RED accelerator cohort of 2019 and a MassChallenge Gold Award winner.
Its proprietary ‘Song Mining’ engine conducts a granular analysis of lyrical and musical relevance based on a wide technology stack that combines machine learning (AI), computational linguistics, and digital signal processing, with a unique approach combining two key qualities:
The ability to search for songs with a set of reference songs: Songmine’s fingerprinting technique abstracts song DNA to support searching for songs with reference songs, based on common harmonic, melodic, lyrical, sonic, and structural features.
A distinct focus on the semantics and aesthetics of song lyrics: At the heart of its approach is a special focus on a deep comprehension of lyrics.
