Methodology / Approach

Our methodology is grounded in the effective use of state-of-the-art technology and frameworks to solve problems related to the development, deployment, and optimization of AI solutions. This process is streamlined and made efficient by the integration of Intel® oneAPI toolkits and the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.

​

We approach the problem of cross-architecture compatibility by leveraging the unified programming model provided by the Intel® oneAPI toolkits. These toolkits allow developers to code in a single language while ensuring compatibility across diverse hardware configurations including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators. This method reduces the time-consuming process of coding individually for each architecture, thereby speeding up the development and deployment process.

​

To address the challenge of model optimization and deployment, we employ the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit. This toolkit accelerates AI inferencing and deep learning performance on Intel hardware by converting AI models into an intermediate representation suitable for execution. By doing so, it ensures that AI applications run with maximum performance and efficiency, irrespective of the underlying hardware.

​

Our platform supports various deep learning frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Caffe, allowing developers to choose their preferred tools for AI development. By incorporating advanced optimization techniques such as model quantization and pruning, we ensure that AI models execute efficiently even on resource-constrained devices.

​

As part of our collaborative development methodology, we provide a centralized repository for sharing pre-trained models, best practices, and other resources. This collaborative approach promotes a learning environment and encourages innovation by sharing knowledge and resources among developers.

​

At the heart of our project is a problem-solving approach that integrates three main phases: development, deployment, and optimization of AI solutions.

1. Development: The first phase of our methodology involves developing AI models to suit the unique requirements of various applications. We use a variety of deep learning frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Caffe, based on the specific needs of each project. This allows us to provide a flexible development environment that accommodates different preferences and techniques. The chosen model is trained using a well-curated and preprocessed dataset, ensuring the model is well-tuned to perform its specific task.
2. Deployment: Once the models are developed and trained, they are prepared for deployment. We implement an abstraction layer that simplifies the integration of AI models into different applications and systems, ensuring they are platform-independent. This method enhances the ease of deployment across various hardware configurations, including both low-powered devices and high-performance servers.
3. Optimization: The final phase of our methodology is optimization, where we focus on maximizing the performance of the AI model in the real-world application. Techniques such as model pruning and quantization are employed to reduce the computational resources required by the models without sacrificing their performance. We also use techniques like transfer learning and fine-tuning to further enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the models.

​

In addition to these phases, our methodology emphasizes a collaborative development approach. We facilitate a shared environment where developers can collaborate, exchange pre-trained models, and share best practices and techniques. This enables continuous learning and improvement, and fosters a culture of innovation.

​

In terms of standards, we uphold the highest levels of data security and privacy. All data used for model training is handled in compliance with global data privacy standards. Furthermore, we maintain a rigorous testing and validation process for the models developed and deployed, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

​

To summarize, our methodology is designed to provide an efficient, flexible, and collaborative environment for AI development, addressing key challenges through the integration of advanced toolkits and a unified programming model, and upholding the highest standards in data privacy and model performance.
