Cedience

Biotech Square has developed a web-based platform that allows drug development teams in the pharmaceutical industry to query large regulatory databases for context-specific regulatory precedent. Leveraging natural language processing (NLP) technology, the platform provides users with entire document sections to answer specific questions on regulatory precedent (why a drug was approved, what concerns the FDA had with similar products) in a few clicks rather than searching manually through documents. Accessing more and higher quality precedent records allows drug development teams to improve their regulatory strategies and regulatory approval submission package.

Shakudo

Shakudo has developed an MLOps platform called Hyperplane. Hyperplane connects to existing MLOps tools and is an environment that enables data scientists to independently code, run experiments, and automate deployment of their models without requiring downstream engineering and DevOps support. This increases the speed to deployment, and reduces the need to collaborate with large and resource-intensive engineering and DevOps teams in order to get models into production.

TrojAI

TrojAI software simulates real-world adversarial attacks (natural and malicious attacks) on AI models to monitor model or dataset security during training. As a result, TrojAI provides insights into the weaknesses of the AI model and dataset, enabling users to know precisely howt to alter their model or dataset to achieve better performing and more secure AI models. This enables users to identify points of vulnerability in their model and data set before deployment and thus reduces the time needed to retrain the model for failures that would occur post-deployment.

Waverly

Waverly has developed a content recommendation engine that gives individual users the ability to edit their own recommendation algorithm using written paragraphs instead of code. This allows users to have transparency and control over what content is recommended to them. The first iteration of the product is a mobile app that allows users to develop their own content recommendation algorithm and connect with other users to share and follow each other’s content recommendation algorithms as well.

Advai

Advai tests the robustness of AI models using adversarial AI that manipulates inputs to AI systems in a way that is invisible to humans, but causes the AI model to misclassify the input. Advai allows data scientists to proactively test AI for issues, and receive actionable insights into how robust their models will be under different scenarios. It also enables decision-makers within organizations to deploy AI models with more confidence.

QuantPi

QuantPi has built an automated explainability platform that enables every machine learning expert to become an explainable AI (XAI) expert and every non-technical expert to obtain actionable data insights. Their core technology, PiCrystal, consists of proprietary XAI decomposition techniques. It decomposes a large number of XAI algorithms into “building blocks.” After decomposition, PiCrystal creates new XAI algorithms by re-assembling various parts of the XAI algorithms to better address specific explainability tasks. This framework allows companies to combine the advantages of multiple explainability techniques, automatically select the most relevant explanation technique based on specific use-case, and implement trusted and explainable AI models into business processes.
