For pro-democracy activists living under authoritarian regimes, communication can be a tricky – and often dangerous – endeavor. Posting dissident messages to social media, sending an email, or texting a friend or colleague can risk interception by vigilant government agents, censorship, and even jail time. Over the past few years, Galois has been developing, in […]

The machine learning discourse has been understandably dominated of late by language modeling tools such as Chat-GPT. But machine learning can be applied to a much wider range of contexts, inputs, and applications. One of the most fascinating, and most useful, of these is Computer Vision – the machine learning field focused on analyzing and […]

Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing represents a significant global threat to our shared natural resources, undermining the sustainability of fish stocks, damaging ocean ecosystems, and robbing nations of their natural heritage and economic foundation. Nowhere is this challenge more acute than in the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), a biodiversity hotspot of extreme ecological significance. […]

At Galois, we have been experimenting with multiple Large Language Models (LLMs), including GPT-4. Part of the motivation for this is to continue increasing the accessibility and utility of our formal verification and software assurance tools. While these tools provide high assurance for critical software, they can require significant expertise or time to extract full […]
