Science

Opera's science is all about machine learning.

Humans alone can't find the valuable patterns hidden in Big Data; only computers have the ability to store, access, process, and analyze so much information at sufficient speed. But machines don't automatically know what they're seeing; they have to be taught what's valuable and, equally important, what isn't. That's why machine learning is the key to unlocking the power of Big Data.

Machine learning focuses on developing algorithms that train computers to learn to recognize valuable, statistically meaningful patterns, or to capture complex mapping functions hidden in large quantities of data. It brings together computer science and engineering, signal processing, statistics, and many other areas.

It takes the highest level of machine learning to extract meaningful signals and patterns from complex data flows and turn them into powerful decision guidance for individuals on the front lines of business and government. It can't be done without extraordinary scientific talent, superior signal identification, advanced algorithms, and adaptive learning techniques. Opera has developed superior capabilities in these areas.
