Opportunity Context
Lots
Lot Title: Federated Learning Platform
Lot Description: The intended outcome from this lot is a Federated Learning platform that allows machine learning (ML) modelling of data from industrial assets and plants. The platform should allow building of ML models on the edge without the need to share data.
Lot 2 Status: cancelled
Lot 2 Has Options: No
Lot Title: Provision of training on standardisation of model development, version control, documentation
Lot Description: The intended outcome for this lot is the provision of training in data scientific approaches. The target audience of the training are general scientists (typically chemists / chemical engineers, trained to PhD level or graduates with several years’ experience) with good understanding of data science and python coding, but no formal training. The focus of the training should be on practical approaches and robust procedures that can be implemented at CPI.
