People and story behind Neptune

The story of Neptune starts in 2016 when we won Kaggle’s Right Whale Recognition competition as a part of the deepsense.ai team.

Back then we were struggling to track and share our work results, constantly getting annoyed by doing repetitive tasks. Everyone had their methods of working and storing results that weren’t making the reproducing result any easier.

We were asking folks from various data science teams how they are approaching this challenge and realized, that no one has a good solution.

Knowing that data scientists across the globe are losing their work results every day motivated us to create a solution that’s available for everyone.

We spun-off in 2018 to focus on creating a tool that manages the experimentation process while remaining lightweight and easy to use by any data science team.

Since then our mission is to make data scientists’ work more efficient providing them an easy way to track their work and collaborate. Our ambitious goal is to build a data science collaboration standard.

Right Whale Recognition was a computer vision competition organized by the NOAA Fisheries on the Kaggle.com data science platform.
