Support and maintenance of machine learning models

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.

Our Approach to Rendering Machine Learning Consulting

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.
