$500,000.00
LLM-enhanced vision AI
FY 2024-25 · 2025-02-01
Summary
This project aims to enhance an existing Edge Signal vision AI based edge computing platform by integrating Large Language Model functionalities to enable advanced, detailed vision analysis, which can be used for perimeter security, audits, compliance and customer satisfaction like use cases. The platform will feature a multi-agent architecture, prioritizing customer privacy and multi-tenancy while leveraging an LLM agent for contextual, explainable, and accurate insights. Robust LLM RAG infrastructure will manage data preparation, enrichment, and ETL processes. With advanced prompt engineering, user-friendly experiences, and LLM-based dashboards, this high-tech initiative tackles scientific unknowns like hallucinations and explainability.

Description
This project aims to enhance an existing Edge Signal vision AI based edge computing platform by integrating Large Language Model functionalities to enable advanced, detailed vision analysis, which can be used for perimeter security, audits, compliance and customer satisfaction like use cases. The platform will feature a multi-agent architecture, prioritizing customer privacy and multi-tenancy while leveraging an LLM agent for contextual, explainable, and accurate insights.

With advanced prompt engineering, user-friendly experiences, and LLM-based dashboards, this high-tech initiative tackles scientific unknowns like hallucinations and explainability.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à améliorer une plateforme existante d’informatique de pointe basée sur l’IA de vision Edge Signal en intégrant des fonctionnalités de grand modèle de langage (GML) pour permettre une analyse de vision avancée et détaillée, qui peut être utilisée pour la sécurité du périmètre, les audits, la conformité et la satisfaction des clients, par exemple. La plateforme sera dotée d’une architecture multi-agents, donnant la priorité à la confidentialité des clients et à la mutualisation, tout en tirant parti d’un agent GML pour des informations contextuelles, explicables et précises. Une infrastructure GML RAG robuste gérera la préparation des données, leur enrichissement et les processus ETL. Grâce à une ingénierie rapide et avancée, à des expériences conviviales et à des tableaux de bord basés sur des GML, cette initiative de haute technologie s’attaque à des inconnues scientifiques telles que les hallucinations et l’explicabilité.
