Projects
Hosting and Customising an On-prem Large Language Model
Most organisations and enterprises that care about data privacy are disadvantaged when it comes to leveraging public LLMs, such as ChatGPT. This project has proven that even SMEs can feasibly host their own large language AI models and fine-tune the models to suit the specific needs of the organisation, thus enjoying the benefits of LLMs without sacrificing data security and privacy.
Cutting-edge AI Property Valuation
Conceptualised, designed and productionised the most accurate and robust property valuation model for the UK market – AccuVal. AccuVal is trained with a proprietary dataset that consists of millions of records about properties and locations and uses Deep Learning to understand the value of any residential property. Thanks to the AI approach, AccuVal achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, literally smacking existing AVMs (Automated Valuation Models) in every aspect.
AI House Price Forecast
Leveraging historical data with Deep Learning to predict house price change for as long as 30 years. The forecast helps property developers and investors make more informed decisions, especially for buy-to-let portfolios.
AI Predictive Inventory Levels
Large retailers face a classic challenge: what is the ideal inventory level for each item? Traditional methods such as EOQ have never worked in practice. By combining items and sales data to train bespoke AI that predicts upcoming sales, retailers are able to know when to reorder and the right quantity per item, making sure they don't miss a sales opportunity and avoid overstocking.
Secure, High Performance Private Cloud
AWS and Azure aren’t always the right choice. Many organisations prefer to host their private IT infrastructure for performance, privacy or cost reasons (or a combination). Designing private clouds is a multi disciplinary task, requiring expertise in compute, storage and networking, a skill set combo that’s hard to find.
