But the process of detecting lesions or abnormalities from the images taken by the capsule endoscope is very tedious, time-consuming and error-prone. It takes about two hours for a doctor to read an image due to which the missed diagnosis rate could be high.   - [Automatic Text Mining of Medical Reports using AI](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/automatic-text-mining-of-medical-reports-using-ai/): The data mining tools market is expected to grow from USD 664.6 Million in 2020 to USD 1577.0 Million by 2028 - growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Healthcare organisations are wading deeper into data mining to leverage the growing data sources as a result of the industry’s journey toward digitalisation. One hurdle in digitalisation and the implementation of data mining in healthcare is that medical data is spread across different sources governed by different states, hospitals, and administrative departments. Such medical databases may not be technically compatible to make data sharing possible. Moreover, the current process manually analyses, extracts, and feeds meaningful data from non-electronic and electronic sources to the medical registries. This process is very labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. - [Smart glove for sign language recognition using AI](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/smart-glove-for-sign-language-recognition-using-ai/): Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Disabled and Elderly Assistive Technology estimated at US$23.3 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$32 Billion by 2026, of which, communication aids, is projected to record a 5.6% CAGR and reach US$12.8 Billion by the end of the analysis period. Sign language recognition is of paramount importance for removing the communication barrier between speech/hearing impaired persons and normal individuals. Current sign language recognition systems rely on extremely limited features such as amplitude, bandwidth, and polarity to identify simple and discrete gestures for numbers or letters. This is far from the translation requirement of sentences that are frequently used in the daily life of the speech/hearing impaired. Besides, most reported works only achieve unidirectional delivery of recognition results without allowing two-way interaction between the speech/hearing-impaired user and a normal user. - [Improving Satellite Digital Elevation Models (DEM) using AI](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/improving-satellite-digital-elevation-models-dem-using-ai/): The digital elevation model market accounted for almost 10% market share of GIS market globally and is projected to register a 16.9% CAGR to reach $4.7 billion by 2029. The growth in the DEM market attributes to the rising adoption of DEM software across various applications. Acquiring a high resolution and high accuracy Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is very challenging as it is very time-consuming and costly. The cost of acquiring high-resolution commercial satellite data is substantial. Publicly accessible satellite DEM data are not of high accuracy or resolution. - [MapBatch – A conservative deep learning batch normalisation method for analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/mapbatch-a-conservative-deep-learning-batch-normalisation-method-for-analysis-of-single-cell-rna-seq-data/): Many biological processes involve the participation of rare cell populations such as cancer stem cells in cancer or immune cell subsets in various diseases. The identification of such cell subpopulations can aid disease subtype identification, rational therapy design, and prognosis prediction.  Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can identify distinct cell populations across multiple samples with batch normalisation used to reduce processing-based effects between samples. However, existing batch normalisation tools tend to “over correct” (i.e. they remove batch effects but, at the same time, also eliminate genuine biological signals and introduce other artifacts), obscuring rare cell populations which may become merged into other cell types. There is a need for conservative batch normalisation that maintains the biological signal necessary to detect rare cell populations. - [Embedding Knowledge into Learning](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/embedding-knowledge-into-learning/): Recent successful AI techniques, particularly those based on deep learning,  are not yet adequate for more demanding applications. In particular, they require a very large amount of labelled training data, especially for more complex problems. One reason for this is that the methods do not utilise available knowledge well in combination with the learning methods. - [Real-time Detection of Illegal Parking Offences using Video Analytics](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/real-time-detection-of-illegal-parking-offences-using-video-analytics/): The global market for Smart Cities is projected to reach a revised size of US$2.5 Trillion by 2026 with Smart Governance & Education projected to record a 24.4% CAGR and reach US$915.5 Billion by the end of the analysis period. The ongoing pandemic has provided an opportunity for expediting the use of digital technologies for creating smart cities and improving the lives of its citizens. Among the different initiatives that are being explored is the development of smart traffic control and parking management systems. Illegal parking causes many problems such as traffic jams and safety risks to other road users. Hence, checking for illegally-parked vehicles has become an important task of modern urban management. The current enforcement process of checking illegally-parked vehicles highly depends on enforcement officers on foot patrol. This can be labour-intensive and time-consuming. - [Machine Learning Model for Predictive Maintenance of Lifts/Elevators](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/machine-learning-model-for-predictive-maintenance-of-lifts-elevators/): The rising investment in commercial and residential infrastructure projects in the developing and developed economies has led to an increase in the growth of elevator and escalator markets. The global elevator and escalator market is projected to grow from USD 83.86 billion in 2022 to USD 132.08 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.  Elevator maintenance companies currently adopt a reactive lift maintenance approach whereby the crew is notified of a specific fault after it has occurred and the crew rectifies the fault based on fault codes obtained from the lift monitoring device. - [Optimising Semiconductor Chip Placement with Machine Learning](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/optimising-semiconductor-chip-placement-with-machine-learning/): The FPGA market was USD5.3 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow to USD9.5 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 8.5%. The ASIC market was USD18.7 billion in 2017 and is forecasted to become USD35.2 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 9.5%. Both FPGA and ASIC chips are widely used in consumer electronics as well as enterprise systems. Each of these chips consists of millions of transistors (depending on chip size and complexity) Chip placement is the process of arranging different components on a chip before manufacturing. A chip placement consists of rectangular grids, with each grid containing sections of, or one or different modules. Due to the complexity of modern chips, optimising how to arrange different modules requires highly experienced integrated circuit engineers and is one of the pain points in chip design, not to mention expensive. Poor placement will lead to the product not meeting performance specifications and costly delays in the production schedule. - [A Dynamic and Learning-Based Vehicle Routing Solver](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/a-dynamic-and-learning-based-vehicle-routing-solver/): The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) refers to the issue of finding feasible/optimal routes for a fleet of vehicles to minimize the number of vehicles utilized, and total distance and travelling time taken by all vehicles while satisfying all the given constraints. VRP is a well-known hard optimisation problem and is intractable in both theory and practice. Furthermore, in practice, there are many types of VRP problems, which may correspond to different approaches to solve the problems. It is, therefore, necessary to develop solvers which can handle a broad range of different VRP instances and give reasonable solutions in a reasonable time, and which can also fit within a VRP as a software service. Due to the intractability of VRP, solvers which give optimal solutions may not be feasible in practice, hence the emphasis on reasonable quality and efficiency. - [An Improved Machine Learning Algorithm and Model to Generate Better Quality Search Results](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/an-improved-machine-learning-algorithm-and-model-to-generate-better-quality-search-results/): Current chatbots use a static FAQ database to answer questions. If a user raises a question not found in the FAQ database, the chatbot system is not able to give any answer. - [Rationalising Deep Learning Model Decisions](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/rationalising-deep-learning-model-decisions/): There is a clear trade-off between the performance of a machine learning model and its ability to produce explainable and interpretable predictions. The improved predictive accuracy of deep learning models has often been achieved through increased model complexity, inherently reducing their ability to explain their inner workings and mechanisms. As a result, their predictions are hard to interpret. Systems whose decisions cannot be well-interpreted are difficult to be trusted, especially in sectors such as healthcare or autonomous vehicles.  There is a need to rationalise a deep neural network model’s decision. - [Online deep learning methods for Intelligent Threat Mitigation](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/online-deep-learning-methods-for-intelligent-threat-mitigation/): The global DDoS Protection and Mitigation market size is expected to grow from USD 3.3 billion in 2021 to USD 6.7 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.1% from 2021 to 2026. The rise in multi-vector DDoS attacks and ease of availability of DDoS-for-hire services are major factors fueling the market and provide lucrative opportunities for DDoS protection and mitigation vendors. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks continue to pose a significant threat to our present-day Internet network security, denying legitimate users access to shared and essential resources. Adopting deep learning solutions to filter out application layer attack requests is challenging due to ever-changing profiles, lack of labeled data, and constraints in the online setting. Offline unsupervised learning methods can sidestep these hurdles by learning an anomaly detector from the normal-day traffic. However, anomaly detection does not exploit information acquired during attacks and its performance typically is not satisfactory. - [Auto-Tagging of Patent Applications to Facilitate Discovery of Relevant Prior Art](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/auto-tagging-of-patent-applications-to-facilitate-discovery-of-relevant-prior-art/): NLP is the fastest-growing subset of AI that applies linguistics and computer science to make human language understandable to machines. The NLP market is expected to grow from USD 11.6 billion in 2020 to USD 35.1 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 20.3% during the forecast period. Time is a critical factor in the field of prior art searches. Traditionally, patent examiners manually search by keyword, class, or citation in order to extract an exhaustive list of prior art relevant to the invention proposed in the patent application in question. With the increasing volume of patent data, finding relevant information and analysing prior arts would be time-consuming when done manually, especially if you want to achieve quality and accuracy. From an AI perspective, the key linguistic and semantic challenges are legal wording, long sentences, acronyms, and the technical nature of patent applications. Existing AI algorithms on their own cannot support every aspect of the prior art search process. - [Base Metal/Stock Price Forecasting from Alternate Data Sources Using AI](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/base-metal-stock-price-forecasting-from-alternate-data-sources-using-ai/): The future trend of base metal prices is affected by a wide range of factors such as supply and demand, and macroeconomic conditions. This information is very important for governments as well as industries. The spot prices of base metals, which are used for constructing infrastructure and various types of products, can be incredibly difficult to predict. The prices are stochastic and highly non-linear as they are influenced by many factors with complex relationships. They are also affected by macro-economic situations such as currency exchange rates and government policy changes, such as increase in import tax rates. With greater market volatility and uncertainty, and more data sources available to train machine learning and deep learning models, AI will play a big role in commodity price prediction in the future. - [TRACER: A Framework for Facilitating Accurate and Interpretable Analytics for High Stakes Applications](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/tracer-a-framework-for-facilitating-accurate-and-interpretable-analytics-for-high-stakes-applications/): Artificial intelligence in the healthcare market is projected to grow from USD 6.9 billion in 2021 to USD 67.4 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 46.2% from 2021 to 2027. The key factors fueling the growth of the market include market influx of large and complex healthcare datasets, growing need to reduce healthcare costs, improving computing power and declining hardware cost, rising number of partnerships and collaborations among different domains in healthcare sector, and surging need for improvised healthcare services due to imbalance between health workforce and patients. Additionally, growing potential of AI-based tools for elderly care, increasing focus on developing human-aware AI systems, and rising potential of AI technology in genomics, drug discovery, and imaging & diagnostics is expected to create a growth opportunity for artificial intelligence in the healthcare market. In high stakes applications such as healthcare and finance analytics, the interpretability of predictive models is required and necessary for domain practitioners to trust the predictions. Traditional machine learning models e.g. logistic regression (LR) are easy to interpret in nature. However, many of these models aggregate time-series data without considering the temporal correlations and variations. Therefore, their performance cannot match up to recurrent neural network (RNN) based models. Although effective in modeling time-series data, the lack of interpretability tends to become an obstacle for deploying RNN-based models in healthcare analytics. An accurate and interpretable analytic model can help healthcare practitioners to make effective and responsive decisions on patient management and resource allocation. - [Use of Computer Vision to Improve Construction Safety](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/use-of-computer-vision-to-improve-construction-safety/): The computer vision market is expected to grow from USD 10.9 billion in 2019 to USD 17.4 billion by 2024-growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. Major factors driving the market growth include the increasing need for quality inspection and automation, growing demand for vision-guided robotic systems and rising demand for application-specific computer vision systems. The construction industry is the top contributor of workplace fatalities. Currently, the industry relies heavily on manual supervision to prevent accidents. However, not only is manual supervision resource intensive, different site personnel have varying standards and practices in addressing safety risks, and quality of supervision will be affected by human physical and mental fatigue. Fall from open (unbarricaded) edges, and falling objects during crane lifting are common causes of severe injuries and fatalities on construction sites. Even though CCTV cameras are installed on site and cameras are mounted in tower cranes, the video footages are not actively reviewed to monitor workers and site conditions. - [Intelligent and Non-intrusive Monitoring of Android Devices for Protection Against Data-infringing Malware](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/intelligent-and-non-intrusive-monitoring-of-android-devices-for-protection-against-data-infringing-malware/): Android operating system controls the mobile OS market with close to 70% market share.  The global malware analysis market is expected to grow to USD 11.7 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 30%. Increasing cyber-attacks and a high number of false alerts are some of the factors that have contributed to the considerable size of the malware analysis market. Android is the most popular mobile platform today. It is also the mobile operating system that is heavily targeted by malware. However, the Android system has matured security and privacy mechanisms to disallow any attempts of violating code/data privacy policy of third-party applications or the system even for the purpose of detecting malware. Since malware detection requires closely monitoring the execution of other Android applications and such monitoring is considered as potentially malicious, it is becoming more and more challenging to perform malware detection on Android. - [New Deep Neural Network Methods and Collaborative Filtering Algorithms for Recommender Systems](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/new-deep-neural-network-methods-and-collaborative-filtering-algorithms-for-recommender-systems/): The recommendation engine market was valued at USD 2.12 billion in 2020, and it is expected to reach USD 15.13 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 37.46% during the period of 2021-2026, with Asia-Pacific identified as the fastest-growing market. Item recommendation is a personalised ranking task. To this end, many recommender systems optimise models with pairwise ranking objectives such as the Bayesian Personalised Ranking (BPR).  Optimising matrix factorisation (MF), the most widely used model in recommendation, with BPR leads to a recommender model that is not robust. In particular, the resultant model is highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations on its model parameters, which implies a possibly large error in generalisation. Incorporating knowledge graph into recommender systems: By exploring the interlinks within a knowledge graph, the connectivity between users and items can be discovered as paths, which provide rich and complementary information to user-item interactions. Such connectivity not only reveals the semantics of entities and relations, but also helps to comprehend a user's interest. However, existing efforts have not fully explored this connectivity to infer user preferences, especially in terms of modeling the sequential dependencies within and holistic semantics of a path. - [Assisted and Automated Secured and Unsecured Lending](https://aisingapore.org/tech-offers/assisted-and-automated-secured-and-unsecured-lending/): The global credit rating software market size was valued at $0.42 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $1.92 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2021 to 2030. Credit rating involves validating the credibility of individuals and companies based on their prior transactional and credit behaviour. A credit score is a number used by lenders as an indicator of how likely an individual is to repay his debts and the probability of going into default. It is an independent assessment of the individual's risk as a credit applicant. A secured loan, also called a collateral loan, is a form of credit that is backed by an asset. By putting forward an asset to act as collateral, it implies that the lender is able to cut down the risk involved in lending cash to a borrower. Credit scoring for secured and unsecured lending is a highly labor-intensive process with many points for human errors.  These errors can be highly costly and result in inefficiencies in the lending industry.  As a result, it is a highly risky business with high-interest rates. ## Pattern Library - [Simple Programme](https://aisingapore.org/cloud/simple-programme/): The Technology for Enterprise Capability Upgrading (T-Up) Scheme seeks to strengthen the artificial intelligence (AI) capability of local companies through the secondment of AI Engineers from AI Singapore (AISG). - [Brief Programmes](https://aisingapore.org/cloud/brief-programmes/): The Technology Challenge (Open-Theme) is a bottom-up approach to incentivise original and significant solutions, where applicants will define the target sector, problem scope, design approach and potential impact. - [Programmes](https://aisingapore.org/cloud/programmes/): Introduction Here - Welcome to the Organization Innovation Support Program, an exciting opportunity to unleash the power of innovation in your business.
