Saolasoft, Inc.

Saolasoft, Inc. was founded in Denver, Colorado by Dr. David Dong Nguyen in 2015. Our mission is to address the problems of mobile software and data analytics for wide ranges of applications including for education, finance, and public health. In early 2016, we successfully launched an education mobile app called English With Friends with advanced capabilities such as learners can learn English with their friends via games, and at the same time, to contribute the learning content. The content then will be selected by a collaborative filtering system. The app has achieved considerable success with more than 50,000 registered users in early 2017. Our R&D also spans to data analytics for solving emerging problems in finance and public health. Particularly, we have conducted data mining from social media such as Twitter and Facebook to capture the epidemic of a public health outbreak. The research results in several articles published in conferences such as AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems recently. Leveraging the advance in machine learning, we are designing a system for detecting the “pump and dump” in financial markets. Our ultimate R&D goals are to use user-generated content from various platforms and to employ the latest development from data analytics, machine learning, AI, and big data to benefit the society as a whole.
