The acquisition of Marianas Labs, is a great event for 1PG.
I don't know the detailed IP Marianas holds, but their talent team joined 1PG, is a great asset.

Marianas Labs world-class team to join 1-Page, including a former Yahoo! CTO, a Professor of Computer Science and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, a former engineering lead at Baidu, and a former Yahoo! and Microsoft engineer.

Marianas Labs, an innovator in large scale data processing, data science and machine learning.

Marianas Labs is also an innovator in Machine Learning, that is an very interesting topic, as remind me of BrainChip.

Marianas Labs brings considerable intellectual property to 1-Page, alongside a team of
recognised data science experts, collectively with over 100 years of experience

developing artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analysis systems.

“We at Marianas Labs are excited about the opportunity of applying our IP and toolkits
to 1-Page’s large database of prospective talent, in order to deliver the right recruiting
and HR solutions to large enterprise clients,” said Alex Smola, CEO of Marianas Labs.

Marianas Labs Capabilities and Team
Marianas Labs’ suite of algorithms will reduce 1-Page’s cost of data processing and
analysis. The team has developed algorithms that can sample interactions and derive
inferences from hundreds of data sources across the public web, in significantly
reduced timelines.

Marianas Labs brings to 1-Page a deep learning platform, that will be integrated across
the company’s products. The Marianas Labs platform will further establish 1-Page as a
leading candidate intelligence and hiring technology company in the industry.
