Aurora-AI has developed a number of solutions for the air industry which are helping to improve operations, border security and passenger management throughout the airport environment. Our AI based facial recognition is powering the largest biometric roll out ever seen in the aviation segment and we are now applying our AI expertise to predictive analytics and analysis of scanned images for threat detection and classification for both passengers and baggage.
The challenges in air passenger transport have been transformed, to a future which is difficult to predict on both operational and commercial levels. Patterns, behaviours and logistical requirements have changed forever and will evolve for some time. This new landscape will benefit from AI based tools, which are extremely well placed to tackle these new demands, finding correlations in data without human direction. Planning based on old assumptions is no longer valid and AI provides an adaptive, agile solution.
Working with Aurora-AI
Our consultants work closely with each customer to develop the solution and deliver it as an end to end service, which is not simply based around “off the shelf” technologies such as Azure ML or Watson. Our Data Scientists are on hand to deal with the critical step of data preparation “in house”. This means our clients do not have to be Deep Learning experts, with the finished article being delivered as an API for integration, a cloud-hosted service or a complete application with full interface, comms and storage.
Applied AIs for specialist solutions
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer programme, typically incorporating an artificial neural network, that can learn to perform complex intellectual tasks.
At Aurora-AI we create Applied AIs – artificial intelligence to solve one specific problem, really well. Once created, it cannot be applied to another task. An example might be an AI that recognises faces. It won’t recognise cars, create recipes or predict the weather. But the next one we create could do any one of those things.
Creating, testing and delivering AI Solutions
Aurora-AI has built a high-performance cluster of GPU (Graphics Processing Units) nodes, which have been engineered specifically for Deep Learning. This platform provides numerous tried and tested ‘template’ neural network architectures, which all differ in size, types of neuron, layers and structure, because our experience shows that the neural profile of the best solution is not always immediately obvious.
This approach means we can test across many different neural network structures to quickly find the most efficient solution for any given task, differing from the more orthodox method of picking a structure based on previous experience of a similar problem and trying to make it fit.
The final packaged solution will run on standard hardware.
