History
Sentient was founded by Marten den Uyl in 2003 as part of the SMR-group.
Marten den Uyl was a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence. He was interested in computers early on, but because in that time no degree in artificial intelligence existed yet, he studied cognitive psychology. He wanted to understand how the brain could make complex computations, to create computers that could achieve similar intelligence. He was especially interested in one of the most complex human characteristics: emotions. After his studies, he started a doctorate training on resonant field computing (an early machine learning paradigm) in the 1980’s under the guidance of renowned emotion researcher Prof. Nico Frijda.
However, he did not want to be limited to academic research and wanted to bring his creative ideas into practice, subsequently, he started Sentient Machine Research in 1990. From this company, he built three different companies with a focus on data mining, computer vision and sentiment analysis that aim to create state of the art artificial intelligence solutions inspired by human cognition and emotion.
