Investment analysis in the Machine Learning sector
"Machine learning is attracting a lot of interest from tech giants, who are spending a lot of money and effort to hire the best machine learning researchers. Companies in the sector are aware of this and are making a great effort to grow and offer highly advanced machine learning services that can be applied in a wide range of sectors. Proof of this is that if 4 years ago the sector scenario was a growth of 45% in number of companies per year, in the last 2 years, this growth has stagnated a little giving prominence to the growth in number of financing rounds obtained per year in the sector.
