Moov AI joins forces with IVADO to speed up innovation in machine learning model validation

Montréal, July 7, 2020 – Montréal-based firm Moov AI, which specializes in the development of applied machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, and the Institute for data valorization (IVADO) are proud to formalize their partnership to support innovation in the design of concrete AI solutions for business.

This collaboration aligns with IVADO’s mission to bring together industry professionals and academic researchers to develop leading-edge expertise in data science, operations research and AI.

Moov AI has developed versatile validation methods to assess the overall performances of machine learning models. As part of this partnership, Moov AI and IVADO are working on a collaborative research project with Professors Foutse Khomh and Giuliano Antoniol of Polytechnique Montréal to evaluate and refine these model validation methods, ensuring the accuracy of the models implemented in client solutions and confirming their efficiency over time.

The project has also drawn the attention of the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Since model validation and verification must be reflected in the ISO standards that guide best development practices, the scientific validity of the methods is all the more important. The partnership is therefore expected to yield global benefits.

Olivier Blais, cofounder of Moov AI and vice-president of data science, is a member of the SCC committee tasked with defining ISO standards in AI.
