DABUS was created by Dr. Stephen Thaler, president and CEO of Imagination Engines, based in St. Charles, Missouri. Thaler holds a PhD in physics from the University of Missouri and has a long career in researching applications for neural networks.
DABUS is a “Creativity Machine” that has a system of many neural networks that generate new ideas by altering the network interconnections. Also, a second system of neural networks detects critical consequences of the new ideas and reinforces them based on whether they are novel or important or could be useful or valuable.
