What is Bayesia?
Bayesia, the Organization
Bayesia S.A.S. is a French software development company founded in 2001 by Dr. Lionel Jouffe and Dr. Paul Munteanu, specializing in artificial intelligence technology. Lionel and Paul and their team of engineers and scientists are based in Laval, France, roughly 200 miles west of Paris.
The “S.A.S.” suffix in Bayesia’s company name stands for “Société par actions simplifiée,” which is the French equivalent of an American Limited Liability Company.
Note that Bayesia S.A.S. is not associated with the SAS Institute, the Cary, North Carolina-based developer of statistical software.
Bayesia’s affiliates, Bayesia USA, LLC, and Bayesia Singapore Pte. Ltd. are the exclusive sales and marketing organizations for North America and Asia/Pacific, respectively. These affiliates were founded by Stefan Conrady, a German-American technology entrepreneur.
Since the expansion into Asia and the Americas a decade ago, our team has been growing the brand and successfully turned it into a synonym for Bayesian network technology.
