How We Work


We focus on developing & deploying interpretable AI solutions that are transparent and trustworthy.


AI solutions builds on sound business understanding.




SMAI Focuses on Interpretable AI


We are an AI consultancy with a focus on tabular data and interpretable machine learning. In order to create value and insights with AI it is important to:

  • Deploy AI solutions in systems and ensure models and data are continuously updated and available for use
  • Succeed in integrating the solution within the organization
  • Provide accurate and understandable end-user output
  • We believe AI should be transparent in order to succeed
  • The subject should have a right for an explanation that is trustworthy
  • The solution should be robust against bias in the data




Interpretability is when users and businesss can understand the reasoning behind predictions and decisions made by the AI model.



SMAI Development


All solutions we develop are inherently interpretable such that a full explanation always is available which fulfills several purposes such as; building trust for the AI model, the right for an explanation for a subject, highlighting potential bias in the data, validation of the AI model and data and providing insights.

We structure your data and provide insights from historic and current data to predict the future through a fully interpretable AI approach.


Our development phase is defined by 3 key steps

SMAI Deployment & Implementation


We are experts in deploying AI solutions into systems and providing the end-user with insight and an understanding of the output.




Microsoft Azure Cloud

The interpretable AI model is a vital part of the implementation since the end-user needs to interpret the output and insights from the AI model. Without the interpretation in the implementation the value of the AI solution diminishes which is why business knowledge is the heart of the solution.

AI creates insights and value for solving business problems when it contains business knowledge, has high precision and interpretability. Implementation success relies on a solution that is trusted, understood and usable for the end-user running in a production environment where the technical deployment ensures models and data are continuously updated and available for use.

  • Utilizing infrastructure as code (IaC)

AI & developer independence



  • Azure Machine Learning made for developing machine learning and running in production
  • VM (Virtual machine) on Azure makes the data scientist (developer) independent of their computer and setup
  • Docker technology integrates naturally in Azure

Data



  • The platform integrates with both traditional and modern data warehousing (BI)
