Azure AI and ML Solutioning: 6-8 week PoC

DataArt New York

DataArt’s AI Lab offers 6-8 week Proof of Concept (POC) development using Azure AI services to enable and extend your company's AI capabilities.

When implementing a new AI system - prototyping is crucial. Questions like the following might be hard to answer in advance:

  • Can the ML model solve the problem at hand?
  • Is there enough data available to train the model?
  • What type of model should be used to solve the problem?

However, these insights are crucial to the AI system design.

At DataArt, we believe that AI prototyping is a key foundational stage in creating successful AI solutions. With that in mind, our team developed MIA DAMA™, a framework that allows our teams to deliver results faster within a fixed time.

MIA DAMA™ stands for Management Integration and Action for Data, AI, ML, and Analytics and is inspired by the best practices of Machine Learning model Life Cycle with three sequential phases:

  1. Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Stage: In this phase, the team defines the client’s business objectives and AI use case, explores the data, builds the baseline model, experiments and enhances the model, builds a simple API or UI, and creates a production solution design.
  2. The Implementation Stage: Required to move the validated PoC into Production with scalable model deployment, external systems integration, clients’ rollout, data pipeline creation, retraining, A/B testing, and monitoring.
  3. The Maintenance Stage: Used for ongoing model development, improvement, monitoring, and support.

MIA DAMA™ enables DataArt to offer the initial Proof-of-Concept (PoC) stage, limited to only 6-8 development weeks, built using the best Azure AI technologies such as:

  • Azure ML for data preparation, model training, and deployment
  • Azure Vision for building computer vision models
  • Azure Cognitive Services and Azure OpenAI to build NLP and generative AI solutions

To make the time to market even faster, DataArt's team uses proprietary accelerators, such as AutoML and Document Processing Solution, in conjunction with Azure technologies.

Additionally, PoCs will comply with Microsoft's Responsible AI practices and six main principles to ensure that the AI system is applicable for unbiased production usage.
