Founder & CEO
StorySense Computing, Inc.
StorySense is an artificial intelligence service provider that focuses particularly on the understanding and management of stories, including blog posts, video annotation, comments in social communities, etc. Established in 2009, our goal is to bring users to a next digital era, where information can be exchanged, organized, and recomposed not only through the identification of tags, but through related concepts, questions, goals, perspectives, and other contextual properties that are essential to stories. While we are NOT trying to make human-like computers, our vision is to build a reasoning tool that enables us to communicate using stories, the most primitive form of information in the human world. Based on this “grandpa-friendly” technology, we believe the user experience of computers can be simple, natural, and comfortable.
