About Sigma Cognition

We believe that the combination of technical expertise and quality data leads to the best outcomes in AI initiatives.

Leaning on decades of experience in AI research, development, and implementation — as well as a deep understanding of training data and its impact on models — we help our clients bring even the most unique and complex AI projects to life.

Our service philosophy

Each client is unique — in their domain, in their challenges and goals, in the data they have available, their level of AI adoption, and how they operate day-to-day. This is why we follow a highly customized approach to our work with clients.

How we work

Understanding your goals, data and processes

We begin each new project by gathering a holistic understanding of your individual goals, your available data, and operative processes.

With this broad understanding, we can uncover new ideas for how AI can transform your processes, create new value, and find optimal solutions to highly complex challenges.

Service adapted to your level of AI adoption

No matter where you are in your journey of implementing AI in your organization, we tailor our services and approach to your needs.

Bring us a concrete project, or simply a question about how AI could support your business — we can support you from strategy through to delivery of a finished solution.

Augment and extend your team’s capabilities

Our approach is high-touch. We value the relationships we build with clients and want you to feel like our teams are an extension of your own.

Our experts in data engineering, AI and ML model design and project managers work collaboratively with your team, augmenting their capabilities to deliver you the best possible result.

Cognition is our vision

We chose the name “Cognition” because it refers to thinking. While the AI and machine learning models we build for our clients now “think” in a more limited sense, our future aim is to move towards true cognitive systems, combining multiple data streams and developing more complex models that bring our AI solutions to a higher level of thought. 

But rather than replicating or replacing human intelligence, we believe AI is at its best when it augments human capabilities. Machine intelligence can process higher volumes of information, in a spectrum beyond what humans can perceive.

We want to be a part of steering these capabilities towards a positive cause, contributing to new approaches in medical diagnostics, sustainability efforts, and greater human wellbeing.

Sigma values

  • Human centric

    Humans are at the heart of AI, and at the heart of everything we do. From our inclusive teams to the way we design processes to the customers we choose to serve, we do so with the purpose of making human lives better.

  • Challenge lovers

    We’re at our best when we tackle complex challenges. Instead of sticking to standard solutions, we strive to find the best approach to solve a problem — and we’re keen to grow and learn new things to get there.

  • Empathetic collaborators

    Discussion culture and empathy go hand in hand at Sigma. When we put our egos aside and put ourselves in our teammates’ shoes, it allows us to talk through even the toughest situations together.

  • Expert advisors

    From our founder’s decades-long experience in AI research to our annotators with deep knowledge of over 300 languages and dialects, everyone at Sigma is an expert in their area and has something important to contribute.

  • Inclusive and sustainable

    Sigma is dedicated to building teams, tech, and business practices that are good for people and good for the planet. We believe that when diverse people feel included and impactful, they bring their best to our teams and results.
