July 20, 2020: Winners announcement.

The Topic

🤖 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 🤖

Develop an AI/ML solution using InterSystems IRIS. 

We will choose the best AI/ML solution built with InterSystems IRIS. Your application could be a library, package, tool, or any AI/ML solution which uses InterSystems IRIS.

The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition or IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition.

The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.

There technology bonuses if you introduce special technology implementations in your application. Stay tuned for bonuses descriptions.

Here are some ideas for contestants:

  1. MLOperation. Currently, PythonGateway provides low-level PythonOperation aimed at expert users who write Python code themselves. The idea of MLOperation is to build a high-level Interoperability adapter targeted at a broader userbase. Essentially your adapter provides generalized Fit/Predict/Optimize methods and users need to provide the data, target model type, and hyper parameter values. This closes the gap between the hands-off approach of the IntegratedML and low-level approach of the PythonGateway. The work is described in this issue.
  2. New ML language. Interoperability with numerical computational languages or even CASes proper are great and offer the freedom of choice. Furthermore, these math-oriented languages allow faster problem search/space traversal than more generalized languages such as Python. Several classes of supporting ML problems can be solved with them. Callout interface makes implementation process easy (reference implementations: PythonGateway, RGateway, JuliaGateway). Suggested languages: Octave, Scilab. 
  3. New showcases in IoT, Real-Time predictions, RPA. Convergent Analytics group provides a lot of starting templates in these fields - as InterSystems IRIS capabilities are an especially good fit for them. I'm always interested in more examples, especially real-life examples of machine learning.
  4. Data Deduplication solutions. Do you have a dataset with a lot of dirty data and know how to clean it? Great. Make a showcase out of it.
  5. Reinforcement learning showcases. Examples of Partially observable Markov decision process or other reinforcement learning technologies.

 

Also, note that PythonGateway-Template is built upon the Advanced Analytics image, so you can use both IntegratedML and PythonGateway from the same docker image.

Great suggestions @Eduard Lebedyuk !

There's a vast surface area here, so we're really looking forward to something that showcases innovation on the technology end, something that carries a real-world data set/feed, or both! I can't wait until the week is over :-)

PS: don't hesitate to use this channel for any questions you have. Some of our technology in this area is still fresh and we're always happy to learn how we can make it easier to use.

Hey Developers!

Please check some interesting ideas for the AI Contest from our GM Advocates:

@Yuri Marx: Execute Markov chains to predict commercial intelligence scenarios,

@Rasha Sadiq: Automated Episode Critical Stage Status by taking various factors into account (by Readmission, Diagnosis, Age, etc).

You can also suggest your own ideas and get 5,000 points on Global Masters.

Whose idea will be next? 🔥

Hi everyone. 
We are a team of company  "Constructor" and we develop cutting edge cartographic systems. Recently the amount of image data skyrocketed so we want to give our users the ability to tie images to places automatically. For that, we want to use AI/ML technologies and we have a cool task for you

Check my post  https://community.intersystems.com/post/task-aiml-contest-recognize-image-coordintates-constructor

Thank you.

Hey Developers!

Please check one more idea for the AI Contest from our GM Advocate:

@Kurro Lopez: Using an API of trading (Crypto.com, Binance, etc..), retrieve all information about cryptocurrencies and evaluate the days, hours and volume of buy and sell of all of them and create prevision of upper/lower price.

Suggest your own ideas and get 5,000 points on Global Masters.
