Developed AI based data model in diverse fields

In the analogue era, tangible assets of land, labor, and capital were important, but in the digital era, intangible assets such as data or algorithm occupy their position. The core competitiveness today is how much we can understand and handle such cyber assets well. Its basis is AI. Our mind is moved by this statement of future scientists, ‘The annual salary will be determined by how well we can cooperate with AI.’ Yet, many cases show that people simply learned the theory on AI and stopped. They find it difficult to set a direction where and how they can utilize the theory in reality. Core.Today Co., Ltd considers that they would play the role of a guide for that reality. Core.Today is a professional company that processes and analyzes original data to provide various data models that conform to necessary purposes. Professor Bongsoo Jang at the Department of Mathematical Sciences UNIST established the company in 2016 as a teacher startup. Currently, post-PhD researcher Kim Kyung-Hoon presides as a representative who worked with Professor Jang. In its early period of startup, they focused mainly on the technical development of natural language processing that summarizes Korean news. The natural language processing algorithm handles the mutual reaction between the computer and the human language, which is one of core functions of AI. To extract and utilize meaningful information from massive texts, technical researches into deep learning and deep learning-based natural language processing have been carried out actively. Core.Today has continued many R&Ds into algorithm from the early period. The accumulated technology has become a strong foundation to support today’s Core.Today.
Regardless of the short history of accomplishment, the path Core.Today has walked is exceptional. Core.Today drew attention through the establishment of a service ‘LAWBOT,’ which is an optimized search engine developed in 2018 for judicial precedents. LAWBOT is a search engine to extract, process and analyze the data for judicial precedents among public data. It received a fervent response as it was able to search laws around the meaning not simply the word and to identify the relationship between judicial precedents through the visual engine. Based on the solid technology, in 2019 Core.Today was selected as an enterprise to supply data vouchers under the supervision of the Ministry of Science and ICT. Last year, Core.Today participated in the contest named First Great Star Solver Platform’ that is suggested by giant enterprises and solved by startups and was selected as a solver at the final with the ‘Method to Predict Viewer’s Ratings’ presented by KBS. At this time, Core.Today deduced a genre through a synopsis and analyzed the character for each casting to propose an algorithm to predict the viewer’s ratings for each candidate actor in a drama. Core.Today received recognition for the fact that AI learning including internal information in relation to the production of a drama will raise the accuracy of prediction for the performance of the drama and help determining actors in the preliminary planning stage.

Toward a data ecosystem of virtuous circle created by subscriber and creator

The effort to foster talented personnel is the most outstanding step Core.Today has taken. The CEO Kim Kyung-Hoon has especially concentrated on fostering data creators who can produce data stories. He said, “While there exist large volumes of mixed data, we need the contents to transfer the message clearly. A person who makes such contents is the data creator. As the creator of Youtube, the data creator utilizes individual technology, knowledge and ideas in diverse ways to make the contents that subscribers can enjoy. We name these contents as data story.” Currently, Core.Today has been operating a training course named ‘AI Learning School for Data Creators’ through a MOU with Ulsan ICT Promotion Agency. The education proceeds with practical works to experience diverse methods of data utilization ranging from Python Basic Education to make data into a story to the AI intensive course. The employee Kim Do-Hee who has been working as a data creator in Core.Today and Ahn Kuk-Moon as a data engineer are also the talented personnel who graduated in the courses on AI and data through the learning school.
The CEO Kim said, “Utilizing the data of text, image and time series to develop a model in diverse areas and foster data creators is the process for the making of an example for the utilization of AI and laying the stepping stone toward the goal to share the algorithm with all.” Namely, its goal is to develop such data processing technique into API (Application Programming Interface) and to make a python library for easy open application of the API. Some software has already been disclosed as open source. The data tool of Core. Finance is a representative case of handling financial data. Moreover, Core. Today is scheduled to disclose the function in relation to text, image and time series that are currently in development or in future development for many data creators to utilize conveniently through ‘Core. Today Open Source Storage (https://github.com/coredottoday),’ which will be launched officially in the second half of this year. In addition, the CEO Kim revealed the vision of Core.Today, “We plan to make a ‘Data Story Telling Platform’ that will not stop at just learning the theory of AI but provide the space, tools and sharing environment to analyze original data or processed data. I hope that this platform will grow into a data ecosystem and serve the function of a contact point with data creators and provide a mutual virtual circle to analyze both the subscriber who searches the reliable data-based story naturally and learns the information and the data that goes into creating the story.”
‘Core.Today suggests the vision, ‘Telling a story of message for data.’ and takes the lead to create a new data culture. The day is not too far when the AI-based data story telling created by Core. Today will form a vast forest .”
