HeyDonto launches DFT Labs to pursue physics-based machine learning capabilities

SiliconANGLE · 1 month ago · 1

HeyDonto AI Technology established DFT Labs, a research subsidiary pursuing physics-based machine learning using Data Field Theory, which represents learning as continuous fields on Riemannian manifolds borrowed from physics. The framework achieved 89.2% accuracy on synthetic manifold data but only 15.7% on MNIST digits, compared to random chance of 10% and nearest-neighbor's 51.7%, revealing strong performance on synthetic data aligned with its geometric assumptions but struggles with real-world data. HeyDonto plans to integrate DFT into production applications like Axiomera and Quantara while aiming to release industry benchmarks within 12 months to demonstrate practical applicability against major model developers.
