With these announcements, Aclaro continues rapid advancement toward its overarching mission of helping lenders, dealers and consumers develop and nurture longer mutually beneficial relationships.

Introducing New Board Member Peter M. Leger

Leger is the founder and CEO of IVSG LLC, a provider of disruptive technology that empowers automotive retailers and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). He and his team recently launched GlobalConnectPlatform(GCP3) and partnered with PickCloud/Googleto distribute the software to the global automotive retail sector.

Leger has extensive leadership and management expertise in the global automotive sector. He was the CEO of Credit Management Solutions Inc., the innovator and pioneer in online credit and automotive loan processing. One of his initiatives there was Credit Connection, which was subsequently sold to DealerTrack. Preceding CMSI, Leger was President of ADP Dealer Services(AKA CDK Global), President and CEO of MSX International, and a board member of APAC Customer Services and Outsourcing Solutions, Inc.

Aclaro is extremely excited to tap into Leger's vast insights and expertise from his decades of success in the auto industry.

Leger's voice will be a critical resource as Aclaro continues its impressive pattern of growth.

"I am proud to join the Aclaro's Board, and I look forward to working with Carlos, the Aclaro team, and the other directors as the company builds for the future. I believe that Aclaro has the innovative technology and know-how to change the way that dealers, lenders, and consumers interact in a fully integrated, closed loop real-time marketplace that benefits all participating stakeholders. This is an exciting time for Aclaro and its breakthrough Artificial Intelligence technology especially in creating the Aclaro MarketPlace in connecting lenders' pre-approved borrowers with dealers real-time inventory," said Leger.

Introducing The Aclaro EcoSystem: ES 3.0

Aclaro announces ES 3.0, a game changing toolset for vehicle purchasers, lenders, and dealers.

ES 3.0 enables lenders to better understand a customer's propensity to purchase, offers real time inventory from multiple dealers tailored to a customer's preferences, and helps close vehicle sales and financing faster. The ES 3.0 process begins with Aclaro AI's learning a borrower's propensity to buy a vehicle. Then ES 3.0 engages the borrower to come and visit the Aclaro MarketPlace with a customized Call to Action via multiple channels including email, SMS, and Web targeting. In the MarketPlace, a borrower/consumer can select a list of vehicles to test drive, start the trade-in process, and the financing process. The financing process uses Nexus Score and the Aclaro's Alternative Data., Through Aclaro's proprietary algorithms, lenders gain a better sense of the borrower's cash flow, financial information, and their probability of paying back the loan in full.

Throughout the ES 3.0 processes, mutual value is created for lenders, dealers, and consumers. Lenders obtain granular financial information about a borrower that is based solely on cash flow. They quickly identify profitable lending opportunities while mitigating default risk. Auto dealers integrate their real-time daily inventory with the Aclaro Marketplace to provide consumers with the vehicles they actually want. Dealers close deals faster with permissioned customer financials. Consumers also obtain many benefits from Aclaro ES 3.0, including the ability to easily find-and be approved for-the purchase of their next dream vehicle.

Ultimately, Aclaro ES 3.0 makes life easier and better for lenders, dealers, and consumers. It saves significant time, reduces risk, increases sales and makes the auto purchasing process much more pleasant and trustworthy.

High Expectations

After identifying significant pain points in the automotive lending industry, Aclaro is leveraging game-changing technology to assist all stakeholders. With another auto industry expert board member and the release of the game changing tools in Aclaro ES 3.0, the company will quickly and permanently shift the paradigm.

viv, Co. Releases an Application Predicting Baby’s Schedule of Development Milestones by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Supporting Baby-Care

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- viv, Co. (CEO: Kyo Ueda) announced today that they are moving forward with the "BabyLook" project of "visualizing baby's mind" by using baby's facial expression and body information is going to release BabyLook:ver2.0; the application of predicting baby's development.

In this version upgrade, this application analyzes a state of the development of each person's baby and provide the milestones which is the most suitable for each baby because the AI system predicts a future development process.

Therefore, parents and nannies can understand "what" and "when" the growth event occur and get suggestions of how their baby handle the events. Also, they can be freed from the anxiety caused by lack of knowledge and will be able to get "relief."

Implementation Method:
BabyLook uses an AI system for predicting individual babies' development. The AI system predicts individual baby's developments by collecting and analyzing the below information.

Aspects of Collecting Data Information:
1. Daily baby's development events
2. Daily baby-care activities
a. Changing diapers
b. Breastfeeding information
c. Bottle milk information
d. Bath information
e. Crying information
f. Feeding solid food information
3. Daily photos and video data.

The Whole Process:
1. The system defines around 150 milestones for babies up to 24 months of age.
2. The system suggests milestones that are more likely to occur at the moment.
3. Users choose a thing to apply from the milestones as the result.
4. The system suggests individual milestone schedule by analyzing the daily records and the performance of the milestones.

In the whole process 4, we cluster babies by discovering the correlation between the three types of collected data, "growth speed" and "growth individuality (growth events that different from other babies)." Each cluster is possible to prevent what and when the growth event will occur because the cluster analyzes which events occur. Also, the cluster has suggestions information of each growth event, so it is possible to give advice to the users.

Analysis Process of AI:
1. Timing of the growth event occurrence (growth speed)
2. The order of the events occurrence (growth speed)
3. Happen or not happen of the events (developmental personality)
4. Reflect the influence of the baby-care activities (developmental personality)
5. Implementation of the survey (developmental personality)
6. Frequency in occur of daily facial expression (developmental personality).

Application URL is here: http://babylook.mom/

About viv, Co.:
viv, Co. is performing "the visualizing baby's mind project" through an alliance with University of California Los Angeles, University of California Riverside, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Renmin University of China, Kobe University (Japan), Hong Kong Government, the Maekawa Foundation, and over 200 kindergartens, nursery schools and child institutions science 2016. In the project, we studied and discovered a correlation between the baby's facial expression and the developmental trends (differences of growth speed) by locating cameras in the kindergartens and child institutions. We presented the paper of this and applied for a U.S. patent about the AI logic in 2018.

Future Plans:
From 2020, BabyLook creates the platform of supporting childcare and provides not only a family but also the nursing organization and research institutions. Moreover, we collect big data and improve the quality of the solution by connecting nursing devices by using IoT. In the end, we are planning to develop an economic zone about borderless "childcare" covering the world with a Blockchain. viv, Co. is based in Los Angeles, Calif., USA. We intend to raise $1 million over the year.

John Hagelgans Joins Zanthion as Chief Technology Officer

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- John Hagelgans has joined Zanthion(TM) as their new CTO. Zanthion spent over a year looking for a new chief technology officer based in the United States with the integrity and intelligence to help them achieve dominance in the elderly care market.

They engineered a sophisticated gating mechanism for their CTO hire involving logic tests, measurement of their personal investment in elderly care, measuring their proactiveness, determining their willingness to provide value first, and last and most importantly, their integrity and capability. John flew through all gates and is already a valued member of the Zanthion team helping them deliver SMART Living.

"Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you. John exemplifies integrity and Zanthion is lucky to have gotten all three in a great leader," says Philip Regenie, CEO, Zanthion.

According to Senior Housing News, "smart" living environments for seniors are a must, and are, without a doubt, the next frontier. Ginna Baik, strategic business development manager for senior care for CDW Healthcare, spoke at the publication's Los Angeles Summit, stating that 80% of the top 100 senior living providers in the U.S. are considering or actively implementing such measures (*note 1). The revenue of the smart homes market is, in fact, expected to grow to $58.68 billion by 2020, with the increased mandate for senior care solutions being a large part of that growth (*note 2). Integral to these smart home networks will be "wearables" that keep tabs on the vitals and whereabouts of seniors at all times.

John will lead the charge in enhancing the Zanthion suite of data-rich wearables and environmental sensors with AI. John comes to Zanthion from Greenlight Financial Technology where he was a founder and served as CTO and Head of Data and Analytics for 4 and one-half years taking the company from an initial $1M dollar investment to an Amazon partner investment at $27.5M. John's long history of entrepreneurship in the financial world is an invaluable asset to the data analytics required for sensor analysis and data collection.

Virginia Startup CounterFlow AI closes $2.7M Seed Round

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Cybersecurity startup CounterFlow AI announced last week that it has raised $2.7 million in seed funding from Osage University Partners, the Charlottesville Angel Network, and a number of individual investors who also supported the founders' previous venture, nPulse Technologies (acquired by FireEye in 2014).

CounterFlow AI is using streaming machine learning technology at the network edge to help cyber defenders more quickly find and remove network threats.

"The traditional perimeter defense approach to securing networks is still necessary," said Randy Caldejon, CounterFlow AI's CEO. "But it is no longer sufficient. The fact is that data breaches occur daily. Consequently, security analysts have turned to threat hunting as the best form of defense. Our mission is to arm them with the next generation of tools so that they can scale their hunting operations and win the day."

Network security analysts may face hundreds or even thousands of alerts every day, generated by the perimeter defense tools already in place. Many of these will be false positives, some will be trivial issues that could be resolved with automated responses, and a critical few will be real intrusion events that need to be addressed rapidly.

Dr. Andrew Fast, CounterFlow AI's Chief Data Scientist, said, "By applying machine learning to data in motion, we can draw the security analysts' attention to the most dangerous threats, allowing them to begin incident response in real time."

John Lee, a principal at Osage University Partners who oversaw the Philadelphia-based fund's investment in CounterFlow AI, said reliable security solutions still require human expertise.

"Putting a human in the loop and empowering the analyst to hunt within their network at scale is the right place for CounterFlow AI to be," Lee said.

About CounterFlow AI:

CounterFlow AI, Inc., a Virginia-based company, designs and builds threat-hunting solutions for world-class security operation centers (SOC). The company is redefining the art of threat hunting by utilizing machine learning and sensing at the edge of the network to drive targeting operations in real time. CounterFlow AI's flagship product, Dragonfly Threat Sensor, is more than a traditional intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS). It is a cybersecurity platform that integrates signature inspection, machine learning, and adaptive packet capture, enabling security analysts to significantly reduce time to detection and response.
