Background
The rapid development of machine learning (ML) models has enabled the analyses of large datasets for predictive and confirmatory analytics. Pairing ML with images of diagnostic test kit results and/or raw data outputs from a device have provided new ways to detect targets of interest for food safety applications.
What we're looking for
We are looking for a partner to develop ML models for datasets that are provided by our organization. The data sets may be images of diagnostic test kit results, digital readouts from a device or other output. The model should be able to effectively identify the result of an event with accuracy equal to a gold standard test.
Solutions of interest include:
- Machine Learning
- Artificial Intelligence
- Imaging
- Hyperspectral Imaging
- NIR or MIR
Our must-have requirements are:
- Provide examples of previous models that have been able to accurately detect or measure a target.
Acceptable technology readiness levels (TRL):
Levels 2-4

Q.
Would you be able to share any samples (or examples) from the data sets that investigators would be working with (sample data/images of diagnostic test kit results, sample digital readouts, etc.)?

Q.
Hi, I would also like to learn more about the data input to grasp the fidelity level of the data, for example large foreign object level or microbial level?

Q.
Is the data already collected/predetermined? Does the work include the co-design of data collection to ensure optimal inputs for the model? Could you provide more data on expected data consistency and quality?

Hi Luke. The data collection will occur concurrently with the project so that paired data may be analyzed. We can provide some preliminary data on non-paired samples for model development prior to paired experimentation. The data will be created by a gold-standard method with an anticipated 5-10% SD.
