Lumina was founded in 2015 in Tampa, Florida by Dr. Morten Middelfart and Allan Martin as a specialty artificial intelligence company.
Several of Lumina’s early products concerned physical security, such as the crowdsourced See Something Say Something mobile application, or Lumina S4.
In 2021, Lumina achieved a major breakthrough in machine learning technology with the invention of Random Contrast Learning (RCL).
Who we are.
Throughout its history, Lumina has sought to apply its innovative technology as a force for good. Lumina is committed as a company to honesty, integrity, and excellence.
Through its development of RCL as an alternative to deep learning, Lumina is contributing to the democratization of machine learning. With democratization come both new opportunities and new risks.
Lumina does not control the applications for which users employ RCL but will continue to model for them excellence in conduct, to monitor industry standards and developments, and to urge users to handle data responsibly and to employ machine learning for the good of all.
