Neural Pixels presents a practical technical concept for in-browser machine learning image enhancement, but is severely penalized for vague, unsubstantiated claims regarding audience reach and traction ('most people have used my product'). The lack of concrete user metrics and ambiguous revenue claims ('all time marketcap: 2500000') place the project in the minimal verifiable traction category.

Description
Neural Pixels is machine learning research company that primarily focus on developing artificial neural networks that can be deployed anywhere and can enhance and modify large images regardless of the user's hardware. Our goal is to bridge the gap that currently exists between machine learning space and the consumer space. We invest a lot of time and money into research that allows us to train powerful deep convolutional neural networks that can handle large images, quickly, in the browser of the average smart phone.
