Applied AI/ML Projects

Callentis offers practice-ready AI/ML development for prediction, control, optimization, and automation tasks that improve productivity, effectiveness, and reliability of business processes.

Federated Learning

Callentis has developed federated/distributed AI frameworks to train models based on large remote data sources or IoT/Edge devices with high efficiency, reliability, privacy, and security.

Hybrid Models

Callentis has engineered hybrid and physics-informed AI/ML to develop explainable and interpretable models that incorporate both theoretical and experimental data.

Generative AI

Callentis has leveraged pre-trained NLP/LLM models to deliver customized search and productivity tools via RAG and transfer learning. Callentis engineers have also used GANs to generate synthetic data for data augmentation.

Deep Learning

Callentis has fine-tuned foundational deep learning models via transfer learning on context-sensitive data to extract information from sensor data including images and LiDAR point clouds.

Surrogate Models

Callentis engineers have conducted simulation-based design optimization, leveraging ML surrogate modeling to increase efficiency and reliability of design processes.

MLOps

Callentis deploys practice-ready AI solutions into MLOps pipelines for continuous updates while being used for inference. MLOps monitors model success metrics and triggers updates to avoid model drift.

we love diagnostic conversations.

Let us brainstorm together to discover what is working and what needs improvement in your current business process.

computational science is our expertise.

We formulate and quantify your objectives, prepare and clean your data, and then select analysis tools that fit your data and performance metrics.

A diagnostic approach to turn data into decisions.

The following demonstrates our overall approach to data-driven decision-support.

01

Diagnose

We will work together to formulate and quantify the problem. This is not a templated approach. We will work with you to explore and understand your unique business objectives, processes, and performance metrics. This will lead to a list of questions to answer using available data.

02

Prepare

Using best practices in Data Management, we will collect, verify (QC), pre-process, and clean your data to make it ready for the planned analytics. We will design database architecture and governance approach to ensure seamless flow of data from multiple sources through analysis tools.

03

Analyze

With extensive experience in data science, our experts will use pertinent techniques to analyze your data and information to extract meaningful insights for an informed decision. This could involve recognizing patterns, segmenting and clustering, predicting future trends, optimizing multiple objective functions, and automating workflows, among others.

04

Evaluate

We will use visualization dashboards to communicate analysis results to you and will provide quantitative metrics for you to evaluate data-driven insights and whether they would improve your business performance.

05

Implement

Our experts will help in seamless integration of analysis results and/or analytics tools into your current process at appropriate frequency, and lay the foundation for continuous process improvement.
