Overview About Ideas2it Technologies

MLflow is a popular MLOps tool to manage a machine learning lifecycle but lacked support for Autologging parameters, metrics, and artifacts related to a PyTorch deep learning workflow. We worked closely with the Facebook AI Research (FAIR) team to add Autologging and provided support to load the native TorchScript models. We thereby enabled the saving of extra files and additional artifacts. These features were released in MLFlow version 1.12.0. To see more featured works, visit https://www.ideas2it.com/clients.

Problem: Medical doctors and other practitioners need to use very technical words and domain-specific vocabulary to ensure preciseness. This precision is needed so that other practitioners understand the narrative accurately.  Patients want to understand their health conditions, diagnosis and prognosis but find the clinical narratives intimidating and very difficult to understand.  Solution: We created a dictionary of medical terms and abbreviations from existing documentation for specific domains in healthcare. Parsed the clinical narratives, and used Natural Language Processing to ensure the grammatical correctness of the simplified narrative. talk2us@ideas2it.com to bring your bold new ideas to life.

Problem: It is very hard for consumers to find a product at the best price from online and physical stores. Even if a retail chain is chosen, different stores price the same product differently.  Solution: Data Science was used to track, predict and forecast prices based on various factors. We built an application in Ruby on Rails that lets shoppers pick the best prices for products from highly popular Australian stores such as Coles and Woolworths. Great user experience through React for the web and React-Native for mobile.  Designed a search algorithm to scan product catalogs using Word2Vec deep-learning neural network and identified the cheapest product by geo-location. Further, we simplified purchase decisions by comparing prices across brands, regions & retail branches by predicting the prospective price(using Logical Regression Models) of a product in a store for the next 30 days and presented actionable insights using D3.js for Visualization. talk2us@ideas2it.com to bring your bold new ideas to life.

Problem: Hospitals are liable for penalties if the 30-day re-admission rate crosses a pre-specified threshold for a particular clinical condition Solution: We analyzed the past patient history of readmissions. Then, we clustered patients based on clinical, social and behavioral factors like associated clinical conditions, age, gender, weight, lifestyle, ethnicity, economic indicators, geography, etc. With this data, we derived a model based on the training set to predict the risk of readmission for a patient. Finally, we tested the model on the testing data set, fine-tuned it for accuracy and ran it across the new patients to predict the readmission risk. talk2us@ideas2it.com to bring your bold new ideas to life.

Problem: A cloud security provider wanted to detect anomalies and abnormal peaks in outbound traffic using event logs.  Solution: We set up a continuous feed of raw data logs, using AWS Kinesis from AWS Cloud-Trail. Data was then grouped by Time, Usertype and Logtype into multiple batches. From these batches, variables were generated to feed in to the Machine Learning model that finally predicted if the data entry was an anomaly using logistic regression. talk2us@ideas2it.com to bring your bold new ideas to life.

Problem: It is hard to detect if a social profile is genuine or fake. Solution: The client provides a social identifier that is a free web identity credential controlled by the user. We designed and implemented an algorithm (based on research out of Stanford University) on Hadoop using PIG to evaluate the authenticity of an individual’s profile attributes using terabytes of social networking data. We also implemented various fraud detection and prevention solutions alongside viral social features to enable users to leverage their social graph to add to their assert score. talk2us@ideas2it.com to bring your bold new ideas to life.
