Their IP seems to be in full-text indexing/search/patterning
along the lines of Abe Lederman's Deep Web
Frank -
Sorry... in my attempt to become "more brief" in my rattling on here, I left a few things out I could have included/referenced. Also, I've only penetrated the first layer myself.
we read:
"With D-Wave’s quantum services, SavantX has begun offering its Hyper Optimization Nodal Efficiency (HONE) technology to solve optimization problems to customers such as the Pier 300 container terminal project at the Port of Los Angeles."
I don't find any HONE references in their website... which feels a little odd... but not unsurprising for a company just standing up or in transition.
The most directly relevant to my work is their HyperNav which appears to be ("nothing more than") a workflow or methodology around projecting 6 dimensions into 3 which might be "nothing more than" a grand tour or projection-pursuit technique (which is where I was hinting Dave to start his own pursuit of hyper-platonic solids). It is a hard problem to guide naive practitioners to begin to "see" their higher dimensional data/models in an intuitive way that fits their needs. Visual Purple appears to be somewhat "boutique" depending on the talent/genius of individual 3D animators to customize a data/model treatment that fits their client's proclivities. I honor and value that skill but am more interested, myself in novel methodologies that *support* that kind of insight/genius. I'm not sure if HyperNav is that... and I suppose HONE feels the same way in ??? domain?

HONE. What are the words that make up the acronym?

Thinks for the extra references. I can't penetrate the brochure-speak
either... even HONE which sounds like yet another gussied up machine
learning platform. Of course, a great deal of the success in that
domain is it's application. I'm assuming they are stirring in some
Quantum just to create the appearance of an "edge".
Do you have any more insight into what HONE is beyond the words that
make the acronym?
Heinbockel's other company of record: Visual Purple
https://visualpurple.com reminds me way too much of the two major
clients that I suffered in the last 12 years... WorldScape and Micoy,
each of whom were aspiring to fill a strong niche in virtual training
and hollywood FX, but they started with modest IP in the multi-camera
capture domain (flat and spherical arrays)... the websites are slick
enough and have enough implied content for many customers I suspect. I
think their demo reel would be what makes or breaks them. And whomever
his "co-founder" might be...
