?? Boost any deep learning model—instantly. We're thrilled to introduce NdLinear—a breakthrough deep learning solution! NdLinear is a drop-in replacement for traditional linear layers that enhances efficiency and expressiveness while preserving your model’s core architecture. NdLinear integrates seamlessly into existing architectures, operating natively across modalities without added complexity. Unlike standard linear layers that flatten multi-dimensional data, NdLinear preserves structure across axes—spatial in images, temporal in sequences, and contextual in text– more powerful, efficient models with no extra overhead. ? CNNs: Maintains spatial relationships, improving classifier performance. ?RNNs: Preserves structured inputs at each timestep for richer feature extraction. ?Transformers: Optimizes MLP blocks, reducing redundant parameters. ?LLMs: Increases efficiency while enhancing expressiveness. ?Multimodal Models: Processes different data types in their natural form. ??

?? The team at Ensemble is excited to announce a research breakthrough: NdLinear — a next-generation alternative to the standard linear layer at the heart of deep learning. For decades, linear layers have required flattening multi-dimensional data — losing valuable structure and limiting how models learn. ? NdLinear breaks that constraint ? by preserving full input dimensionality and modeling dependencies across axes — with the same computational efficiency. Why this matters: ? More expressive, efficient models ? Smarter architectures across LLMs, agents, and more ? A better fit for real-world, structured data What this unlocks for the future: As AI systems grow in scope and complexity, foundational operations like this need to evolve. NdLinear lays the groundwork for models that natively understand structure — spatial, temporal, semantic — without flattening away the signal. This opens the door to architectures that are not just deeper, but fundamentally more aligned with the data they process. We’re open-sourcing this work to move the field forward. Foundational improvements like this should be shared — they raise the bar for everyone. Check out the paper and code — linked below! Paper: https://lnkd.in/deP6VSfq Code: https://lnkd.in/d3Frkzc4

Deciding how to handle high dimensional datasets in ML can be tough, and every approach has their drawbacks. We've put together an overview of some of the most popular approaches out there (plus how Dark Matter compares!)

DeepSeek just trained its R1 model in 55 days and for just $5.58M. While the exact cost of the Nvidia chips used wasn’t released. Markets panicked at the news, and Nvidia stock dropped precipitously. The visceral fear? Computing hardware has suddenly lost its value. That’s the wrong takeaway. If DeepSeek really hit OpenAI-level performance at that fractional cost (95% cheaper than US comparables), it means Nvidia’s chips are delivering more to training per dollar—not less. DeepSeek cleverly extracted more efficiency from existing resources and predictably saw more value. This counterposition of thinking is the same principle behind the ML research at Ensemble. Our product, Dark Matter, transforms the training of ML, drastically cutting compute requirements and data preparation required for a great model. Today, Dark Matter saves 70-90% for ML models training on time series and tabular data - but that’s just the start. Soon we will be taking Dark Matter multimodal. Efficiency isn’t just about saving money. It’s about getting more from what you already have. The winners in AI won’t just cut costs—they’ll extract every ounce of value from their infrastructure, and we intend to democratize this power. Stay tuned. #DeepSeek #CostEffectiveAI #Nvidia

The banking industry is at a critical juncture. As an article in The Financial Brand suggests, only 10% of banks may survive the AI revolution due to its transformative impact on efficiency and customer engagement. Whether this comes to pass or not, in banking the focus remains on survival of the fittest —cost-cutting, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency. These are all compelling points, but what about the growth factor? At Ensemble , we’ve shown how ML can be leveraged to drive customer growth. Our case study on banking customer churn prediction demonstrates how advanced ML pipelines, powered by our proprietary Dark Matter algorithm, can enable banks to predict churn with unparalleled accuracy. Ensemble enables banks to turn data into opportunities—proactively meeting customer needs and fostering growth, not just preventing losses. AI & ML's future in banking isn’t just about survival; it’s about delivering value. Check out our case study and get in touch for a demo (https://buff.ly/3DEWW96).

In astrophysics, dark matter refers to the invisible substance that determines the organization of galaxies on grand scales. We can't observe it directly, but know it is essential for our calculations to make sense. At Ensemble, we borrow this idea to describe what our product does for machine learning. When building ML models, we work with data that tends to be sparse, statistically complex, or low sample size (or all three!). Traditional feature engineering captures the obvious signals, but there’s always hidden, unobserved information — like "dark matter"— that your model overlooks. This is where Ensemble’s breakthrough comes in. Using novel statistical theory, we identify and extract new, unlabeled variables that are custom-derived to enhance the performance of each of your specific models. What makes these features special is that they are ???????????? ???????????? ????????????????????, meaning they add unique and meaningful signals without redundancy — all derived from the data you already have. The result? Better predictions from the same models and datasets, whether you’re using deep learning or a simple linear regression. With just three lines of code, you unlock a new level of data richness and predictive power. Let’s start thinking beyond what’s visible in our datasets and start leveraging the "dark matter" of machine learning. ??Could your models benefit from discovering their hidden dimensions? #MachineLearning #DataScience #FeatureEngineering #PredictiveAnalytics

In the competitive world of online retail, precision in predicting customer behavior isn't just nice to have — it's a game changer. In a recent case study, Ensemble's Dark Matter reduced wasteful spending and engaged customers more effectively. Let’s break this down. ???????????????????????? ????????????????: ? Monthly Website Traffic: 100,000 visitors ? Current Conversion Rate: 2% (2,000 conversions) ? Average Order Value (AOV): $100 ? Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): $50 per customer With these figures, the monthly revenue stands at $200,000, and the total spent on acquiring these customers is $100,000 [2000 conversions * $50 CAC]. This could definitely be better! On a public domain customer conversion dataset (Kaggle), we demonstrated that when boosted with Dark Matter, popular ML models including LightGBM and XGBoost predicted customer conversions with average 5% greater accuracy vs. baseline. Let’s assume that increased accuracy in customer conversion identification yields a ?? conservative 1% increase in conversion rates, elevating it to 3%, ?? with a modest 10% reduction in CAC to $45/customer, thanks to the insights that Dark Matter uncovers, saving time and $. ??????????????: ? Monthly Website Traffic: 100,000 visitors (stays the same)?? ? Current Conversion Rate: 3% (3,000 conversions) ?? ? Average Order Value (AOV): $100 (stays the same) ?? ? Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): $45 (Down 10%)?? ? Monthly revenue grows from $200,000 to $300,000 ?? ? CAC adjusts to $135,000 (for 3,000 conversions) ?? ? Net Gain:?? $65,000/month ?????? What does this mean in practical terms? ? Stop overspending on incentives for unlikely converters. ? Unlock actionable insights to craft engagement strategies that work.
