Can a knowledge graph crack the art world's forgery problem? QuantumSpace says Caravaggio agrees
QuantumSpace, an AI start-up focused on computer vision and visual intelligence, says graph technology is opening up a new front in the endless fight against one of the art market's worst problems: fraud.
In practical terms, that means a knowledge graph representing thousands of artworks, with billions of nodes detailing the complex relationships its algorithms have identified between them.
