Two years ago, we commissioned ScienceSoft to audit and upgrade our partially developed AI-based software for clay pigeon shooting tracking.
ScienceSoft ramped up a development team consisting of two C++ developers, two data scientists, and a UI design expert to fulfill the project. The team identified core errors, which didn’t allow efficient solution operation, and implemented high-speed convolutional neural networks to fix them. As a result, the system could track a flying target in a real-life outdoor environment and faultlessly detect shooter’s performance.

KPIs-based service delivery
We can form the following KPI set:
- Output quality KPIs:
- Insights by value (high / average / low).
- Forecast accuracy.
- Missing alerts.
- KPIs related to business results (decrease in customer churn, operational costs reduction, etc.).
- User satisfaction score.
Guaranteed data security
To secure your data utilized for machine learning projects, we:
- Process data on highly secure cloud facilities (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).
- Conduct 24/7 in-house data security monitoring.
- Use secure data transfer methods (FTP and VPN) controlled via regular health checks.
