Tupelo firm expanding into AI

TUPELO, Miss. - The Tupelo-based sensor and signal processing company, Hyperion Technology Group, has expanded into artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning research (ML) and applications with a new division called Eos AI Science. It is based in Dayton, Ohio. The division’s focus will be elite AI research and development to create new possibilities for the company’s customers’ sensing missions, according to Hyperion Technology Group CEO Geoff Carter. With custom AI algorithms, the firm can “add critical capabilities like object classification, the determination of intent, and unveiling complex threats,” he said. Eos AI Science is led by national expert Dr. Jeffrey Clark, a pioneer in applying AI and ML to defense and intelligence missions. Clark invented deep-learning techniques for classifying electronic warfare signals and building AI algorithms that emulate the speed and processing capacity of the human brain. The division is “well-positioned to serve customers and small business partners at and near Wright Patterson Air Force Base.” Additionally, Hyperion is moving into an expanded facility on Commerce Street in Tupelo, where it hopes to add at least another 20 employees. HTG provides custom electronic systems, such as embedded systems, signal processing, intelligent power and control systems to government and industry consumers around the world.
