We are happy to announce a significant accomplishment for Progress, Inc. and our key technologies.
Two research papers written by Progress, Inc. have been published in the official proceedings of a significant AI conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA), after a thorough international peer-review process. Springer published the proceedings as a peer-reviewed academic volume.
The papers have been presented at the international three-day global conference AIR-RES 2025: AI Revolution: Research, Ethics, and Society that featured the best minds in the fields of AI research, academics, and business worldwide.
All submitted papers were comprehensively reviewed by experts based on criteria such as originality and newness of the contribution, and their long-term potential for benefiting the development of artificial intelligence.
Independent reviewers emphasised the work’s originality as well as its usefulness. Some quotes from the official peer reviews are as follows:
“I found this paper excellent. It is interesting and offers strong novelty. This paper should definitely be accepted.”
“The proposed comparative recognition technology offers a new and effective alternative to traditional AI training methods. By relying on structured comparison libraries and software or analog comparators, the method significantly reduces computational complexity — which I see as its most important advantage.”
These evaluations directly support the scientific foundations of PANC™, including its efficiency, scalability, and departure from conventional gradient-based AI approaches.
The conference was a three-day event, mainly attended by professors and academic researchers in several universities worldwide. The presentation of Progress Inc. was scheduled on the second day.
On the first day, many professors personally approached Vladimir Proseanic and expressed great interest and eagerness to hear the presentation. Immediately after the presentation, Professor Rutherford was the first one to reach the front and personally congratulate them for what he termed as a great presentation.
Many participants made special mention of the breakthrough nature of the solutions, especially their conceptual simplicity allied to strong performance gains.
A direct outcome of this presentation is that Progress, Inc. has already received invitations to make additional presentations at international conferences:
“We are honored to invite you as a Distinguished Speaker for the 6th International Conference on the Future of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, to be held on March 23–24, 2026, in Rome, Italy.”
“We are excited to hear your insights on ‘Comparative Recognition Technology for Artificial Intelligence’ and would be delighted if you could share your views.”
