Data Analysis

In the early phases of nearly every project, a thorough data analysis helps you:

Understand the data, the domain, in order to make downstream ML or RL more robust
Track when, where, how, and why data was created
Provide some initial confidence that a problem is solvable

Talk To Sales

Data Exploration

When you have a lot of data, but you don’t know what to do with it, data exploration helps you:

Ascertain whether data is useful or valuable
Catalog data, what it means, and why it might be useful
Provide insights that might surprise you

Talk To Sales

Process Optimization

You can use your data to help you optimize your current processes:

Analyse your data to find the biggest pain points
Identify root causes of process inefficiencies
Use your data to direct future automation

About Us

Winder.AI is a data science consulting firm, and is based in the UK, although we operate globally. Our data science consultants deliver incredible value by evaluating and recommending strategic business decisions to further your organizational ambitions.

Our Approach to Data Science Research

Successful research projects arise from decades of experience. Take a look at how we deliver data science research.

Our Data Science Research Process

1. Business Context

Any problem demands context from the business. A solution for one industry may not be applicable to another, nor is every business the same. Establishing shared context helps get the project off to the right start.

2. Domain Knowledge Transfer

Businesses are often experts in their own domain. This domain expertise is valuable to help direct future solutions. Literature reviews ensure we start with a reasonable baseline.

3. Problem Definition/Clarification

POCs usually start with a vague idea of what problem they are trying to solve. But the problem definition often changes over time, becoming more concrete, adapting to what is possible given the data.

4. Data Capture/Generation

One thing that makes data science research projects unique is that they often don’t have the right data to begin with. Significant effort is often spent capturing new data that more efficiently solves the problem.

5. Data Exploration and Analysis

In this phase expert data analysts extract knowledge from the data. This often leverages actionable insight and is used to validate whether the solution is viable.

6. Model Development and Evaluation

After the data analysis validates that the idea is sound, an initial phase of model exploration is intended to validate whether the problem can be automated. After this phase the models are analysed to ensure they are performant enough to suggest viability. Note that even at this late stage it is sometimes necessary to revisit the problem definition.

7. Solution Evaluation

In an industrial context, it is important to include a high-level evaluation of how well a solution actually solves the business problem. This is the key issue with academic researchers; their solutions are not pragmatic enough to work in the real world.

8. Reporting

Once models are validated then it’s time to report the results back to the stakeholders. After this phase we often start looking at another problem, or promote it to a fully-fledged machine learning development project.

Optimizing for Value Generation

Businesses have three core operational functions. Processes define how businesses run. Decisions decide when businesses are run. Strategies define why businesses are run.

Software has successfully automated many business processes. Data science automates decisions and strategies via machine learning and reinforcement learning, respectively.

By leveraging our data science consulting services we can help you automate the top two most valuable tiers in the pyramid, to make your organization more efficient and profitable.

Continuous Innovation

The infamous OODA loop, originally developed by the US military, is of particular use during our work because it helps promote innovation.

At every phase we look for opportunities to add value and make your products and services better. Our clients find that our work greatly exceeds their expectations due to the extra value presented by our solutions.

Selected Case Studies

Some of our most recent work. You can find more in our portfolio.

Presentation: MLOps and the Online Safety Bill

This is a video of a presentation about the UK’s online safety bill. This places new burdens on social media companies to moderate content to keep the public safe. This video discusses how platforms are using MLOps to help operate AI solutions that allow them to scale and prevent hundreds of violating posts from being published every second.

How Social Media Platforms use MLOps and AI Governance to Help to Moderate Content

The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, commissioned Winder.AI to produce a report to improve their understanding of the end-to-end processes that support the creation and deployment of automated content classifiers used in moderating online content.
