We are thrilled to announce the formation of Nomic's Advisory Board, bringing together three distinguished leaders in AI, data visualization, and enterprise software. Each advisor brings unique expertise that will help shape our mission to make AI systems more explainable and accessible.
A pioneering research scientist, Dr. van der Maaten led research for the Llama 3 model series. His groundbreaking work with Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton on the t-SNE algorithm revolutionized high-dimensional data visualization. He brings deep expertise in embedding techniques and large language models to Nomic, driving our research and product development toward more interpretable AI systems.
Dr. McInnes, a mathematician and data scientist at the Tutte Institute for Mathematics and Computing, created UMAP—a transformative algorithm for dimensionality reduction and visualization in machine learning. His innovations in topological data analysis have advanced the field significantly. At Nomic, his expertise in manifold learning and high-dimensional visualization helps shape our research direction and strengthens our mission to improve the explainability and accessibility of AI.
As former President and CEO of Tableau Software, Mark Nelson brings over 25 years of experience in creating product for working with data. He was part of Tableau's revolutionizing how people see and understand data. His expertise in making complex technologies accessible guides our mission to democratize AI understanding through intuitive visualization solutions.
