Benefits of Our Machine Learning Development

80% of machine learning projects fail. We build the 20%.

Machine Learning Development Introduction

As you know, Machine learning helps your organization automate decisions using algorithms that learn from your data.

However, delivering on that expectation is a lot more difficult than it first appears. The main reason is that building a model that is robust, production-ready, and operationally sound involves a lot of engineering. And a typical data scientist probably doesn’t have the right experience to do that.

Thankfully, Winder.AI have been developing commercial machine learning solutions since 2013 and since then we’ve worked with some of the worlds largest AI companies. All you need to do is talk to us and you’ll quickly realise we’re the real deal.

Take a look at some of the benefits of our machine learning development services below.

Machine Learning Experts

Looking for experts?

Machine learning experts are hard to find. This is mainly due to the fact that the fields of engineering and data science are broad, complex and rapidly changing.

We’re about as experienced as you can get. And because we’re independent, we’ve worked with a multitude of companies over the years, which multiplies the experience that we can transfer over to you.

Our Previous Work

Production-Ready Solutions

Burnt by data scientists that are good at math, bad at products?

We agree. In fact, this exact issue years ago was what spurred Phil to start training software engineers to become data scientists. He spent several years travelling the world delivering workshops at conferences and teaching privately. Since then many better trainers have come and gone but we still hold engineering ideal close to our heart.

Together with our MLOps services, we provide production ready, operational ML solutions.

Flexibility

Tired of people giving you terms and conditions?

We exist to help companies like yours expand and improve upon their machine learning. Our size enables us to provide exemplary service whilst adapting to your ways of working.

Dedicated To Machine Learning

Confused by the IT shops that claim to do ML?

Winder.AI is a dedicated machine learning consultancy. We’re not a generic software engineering shop knee-jerking into a new market. Since 2013 we’ve been offering our consulting services and we focus solely on machine learning.

Yes, our offering has expanded over the years as we’ve pioneered new fields like reinforcement learning and MLOps, but we’re still engineering-focused data scientists at heart and we’re still excited by the potential of data.

Our Approach to Machine Learning Development

Successful development arises from decades of experience. Take a look at our tips for a successful machine learning development project.

Machine Learning Development Process

1. Problem Definition

A key phase where business problems are defined and prioritized. It is worth spending time to get this right, as subsequent effort could be ineffective and wasted.

2. Domain Knowledge Transfer and Infrastructure Setup

Businesses are often experts in their own domain. This domain expertise is valuable to help direct future solutions. In this phase we also ensure any prerequisites are available, including working with our very own ML engineers and MLOps consultants to ensure the infrastructure meets our needs.

3. Exploratory Data Analysis

Honestly, a lot of value comes from a thorough, principled analysis of the data. If you understand the data and the domain, then modelling is a lot easier.

4. Data Processing / Feature Generation

Production pipelines need to ensure that the data is present and correct, and represented in the right way to be effective. This phase feeds into the modelling phase, so good, representative features here make the modelling much easier.

5. Modelling

Finally we’re at a point where we can start to solve the problem with a model. We exhaustively attempt to understand which models are the most appropriate and why. Explainable AI is a key feature.

6. Experimentation

Depending on the goals and the complexity of the model, we sometimes need to develop robust ways of scaling out training. This is necessary to establish which model/hyperparameters/settings/code/etc. is the right choice.

7. Evaluation

Thorough and robust evaluation practices are vital for directing development. These results are often shared with stakeholders as a representation of progress. Note how we often iterate back to the modelling and EDA phases to apply new learnings.

8. Deployment and Monitoring

In the final phase we deploy and operate our models. Do not underestimate this phase; there are a lot of pitfalls, especially when operating at scale. We collaborate with our very own expert team of MLOps consultants to help here.

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.
