Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2019) -  MLI Marble Lending Inc. (CSE: MRBL) (OTCQB: MRBLF) ("Marble" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Vancouver-based data science technology experts Theory+Practice ("TAP") to implement strategies towards an automated and integrated AI and Machine Learning platform. The results of the engagement will enhance Marble's credit decision-making process and also improve the customer experience through data science and innovative technology.

"It is the first essential step toward in creating a differentiating advantage for Marble, which will lead to deeper relationships with our customers, additional revenue streams, insights on probabilities of default, and more accurate and efficient data-driven profiling of customers that will reduce the cost and time associated with our underwriting activities."

TAP will assist in the design and execution of automating Marble's current underwriting process in a manner that is informed and guided by thorough data profiling and complex risk score algorithms, identifying individuals' eligibility and propensity and likelihood to pay. The partnership will result in the First-Generation Marble Score and an automated data pipeline and predictive decision engine. This will ensure that Marble customers receive the fastest and most diligent service experience, turning a potentially tough situation into a positive affirmation that help is there when they need it.

"Our partnership with TAP gives us immediate access to the expertise, data science knowledge, and experience needed to expedite our model development." commented Jim Chan, Marble CTO. "Charting our path towards having machine learning algorithms that evolves with data in real-time, presents us with fantastic opportunities. This investment will create the necessary technical foundation to acquire a deeper understanding of our customers. It will give us immediate insight into how we can better help them and providing us with information to strategically improve our solution and service offerings. It is certainly an exciting time for Marble, and we are extremely honored to be collaborating with such a talented team from TAP."
