There are a few papers up on the site already and some more coming. As a business, publications aren't really the KPIs we prioritize (vs an academic-style lab like DM or OAI).

These are great highlights, although your second point from [1] is a bit misleading. Humans have a 5% error rate because the average person can't differentiate between 150 different breeds of dogs and other similar nonsense.

This is a very long video. What was nice in it? Can you give some highlights?

Digging in to the journal article, the technique they use can only scale to captchas with 8 characters or less, so having a longer word is a simple fix.
