Samir Araújo de Souza works as a Principal AI/ML Solution Architect at AWS. We talked to him at the io.conference by Festo. He explains us their MLOps strategy and why AWS is investing in ML hardware. We had the pleasure of attending the io.conferene by Festo for two days and brought back some exciting presentations. Over the next few weeks, we'll be talking about models on the blockchain, the security of models and how industrial companies are deploying ML models. The podcast is growing and we want to keep growing. That's why our German-language podcast is now available in English. We are happy about new listeners.

Franziskos Kyriakopoulos helps investors figure out if a company is really doing Industrial AI and what the quality of the data or the models are and if the business model works. He explains in the podcast how he does this and what role the AI Act plays. Franziskos Kyriakopoulos is the founder of the company 7LYTIX. He knows Machine Learning very well and is one of the thought leaders in the Linz region in Austria. The podcast is growing and we want to keep growing.

Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter and his team presented a "radically new approach" to tabular classification. It is a new tabular data classification method that takes < 1 second & yields SOTA performance (competitive with the best AutoML pipelines in an hour). So far, it is limited in scale, though: it can only tackle problems up to 1000 training examples, 100 features and 10 classes. It works best when all features are numerical and there are no missing values (but we believe when we focus on those cases we’ll also improve performance for them).

Several conveyor belts transport chocolate bars: They are part of the demonstrator machine that shows how Artificial Intelligence can be used for motion control. What remains to be done in a real factory is to pack the chocolate bars – automated, of course. In this Intelligent Infeed Demonstrator machine from Siemens Digital Industries, the chocolate bars must be placed in evenly spaced slots on the outfeed belt.

In this episode we have three guests from ABB and talk about the augmented operator - what is it supposed to do, how was it built and where will it be used? One requirement is the LSTM algorithm. 25 years ago, Schmidhuber and Hochreiter developed the LSTM algorithm. The breakthrough came with the tech companies from Silicon Valley. But the automation industry also uses the approach. ABB developed an augmented operator with the LSTM. The podcast is growing and we want to keep growing.

Michael Welsch is a mechanical engineer. His approach makes data accountable. A neural network learns to decompose and reconstruct a company's data lake, which it can only do if it learns to model the inner relationships step by step. The AI software is then capitalized on the company's balance sheet as a proxy for the actual data lake. Welsch presented his idea to some auditors and large accounting firms. They were also puzzled by the approach. The podcast is growing and we want to keep growing. That's why our German-language podcast is now available in English. We are happy about new listeners.

AI isn't just for the big companies. We found a medium-sized company from the Alpine foothills that is taking an interesting approach to its levelling and tensioning machine. Kohlbacher produces straightening center, sharpening, llevelling and tensioning machines and the owner Siegfried Kohlbacher and his colleague Michael Trumb explain to us why and how they use Industrial AI. The partner in the project was Bosch Rexroth. Kohlbacher is a market leader. The specialist company improves its machines for the timber industry such as filing machines, benching machines and straightening centers on an ongoing basis.

Clients of AI solutions wonder: Will the model perform as promised? Will it create consistent results for my specific situation? Will it perform accurately over time even in a changing environment? Who will pay for the losses if the model does not deliver? If you are an AI provider, you might relate to these questions.
