What you gain

What advanced AI makes possible

The use cases range from process automation and smart email to conversational AI, chatbots and personal assistants.

Better products and features

Enhancing the features, functions and performance of products is the main goal companies pursue with AI.

Insights from more data

Deep learning handles more data, larger models and more computation, which leads to better algorithms and new insights.

Expertise you do not have to hire

A shortage of data science talent is a common barrier to AI. We bring the specialists who master these methods.

What we deliver

Methods we work with

Some of the advanced AI approaches our team has been applying recently.

  1. 01

    Deep learning

    Neural networks modelled loosely on the brain. Particularly strong at supervised learning from labelled data, and flexible and scalable enough to keep improving beyond their first version.

  2. 02

    Reinforcement learning

    Training models to make the correct decision through reward and penalty for each action, so they become better at achieving the desired outcome.

  3. 03

    Generative adversarial networks (GANs)

    A generator learns patterns in the training data to create new content, while a discriminator tries to tell real from generated. Content that passes the discriminator can be trusted to look real.

  4. 04

    Deep learning for computer vision

    Detection, counting and segmentation in images and scans, as in our pill counting and eye MRI projects.

  5. 05

    Custom language models

    Private, self-hosted LLMs behind chatbot interfaces, so organisations can use generative AI on their own data.

  6. 06

    Generative AI in medical imaging

    Research into how AI can support cancer image translation in medical imaging.

  7. 07

    Research on new methods

    We seek out new AI technology and master it, then apply it to problems that off-the-shelf approaches do not solve.

Not sure which of these you need? Describe the problem and we will recommend the approach.

Why AI Superior

Research-grade AI, delivered like a product company

Many vendors can build a demo. Making AI work reliably on real data, inside real business processes, is the hard part, and it needs a different kind of team.

01

A research-led team

AI Superior was founded in 2019 by AI researchers with published papers and patents, and the whole team works to that research standard.

  • PhD57%
  • MSc28%
  • BSc15%
Team by highest degree
02

Built to reach production

Every project is de-risked in stages, with a go/no-go decision at each milestone, so budget only goes into approaches that have worked on your data.

4× our proof-of-concept success rate compared with the market average
03

A complete team from day one

Strategy, models and software are designed by one team, so nothing gets lost in hand-overs between vendors.

  • Product AI product owner, business analyst, project manager
  • Data Data scientists, ML engineers, BI analyst
  • Development Software engineers, QA, DevOps
04

Your data stays under control

When data must not leave your organisation, we build on private, self-hosted models instead of third-party AI services.

  • GDPR, German company
  • Self-hosted LLMs
  • Transparent methods
Our team

The experts behind your project

Your project is led by senior data scientists and engineers with research backgrounds, supported by our product and development teams.

  • Dr. Ivan Tankoyeu Dr. Ivan Tankoyeu CEO

    PhD in Computer Science. Recognised by the IEEE GRSS Society, winner of the Global AI Hackathon 2017, Kaggle TOP500 data scientist (2014).

  • Dr. Sergey Sukhanov Dr. Sergey Sukhanov Advisor

    PhD in Machine Learning, data scientist since 2013. Publications, patents and 30+ implemented AI use cases; several IEEE awards.

How we work

A staged AI project life cycle

Every stage ends with a result you can check, and you decide on the next one only after seeing the previous one work. You keep control of scope and budget.

  • Estimate before you commitYou see scope and expected results before the build begins.
  • Go/no-go after every stageEach stage ends with a result you can check and a decision on the next step.
  • Risks reported openlyWe share risks and opportunities as soon as the analysis shows them.
Start with discovery
  1. Discovery

    We work through the business problem with your team and define the direction of the solution.

    You get: Scope, approach and a high-level estimate of effort and expected results

    Go / no-go decision
  2. Data and feasibility

    We get to know your team and data and check whether AI is the right tool for this problem.

    You get: A data assessment and a clear feasibility verdict before any build starts

    Go / no-go decision
  3. Proof of concept / MVP

    We start small, using the data already available, to test the solution in practice.

    You get: Measured results on your own data and a basis for the investment decision

    Go / no-go decision
  4. Integration and scaling

    We integrate the solution into your existing systems, fine-tune the models and adjust them where needed.

    You get: A solution running inside your processes, compatible with your data and systems

    Go / no-go decision
  5. Evaluation

    We review the results with you and make sure they are read correctly.

    You get: What the solution delivered and where to improve next

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

When is deep learning the right choice?

When you have large amounts of data, especially labelled data, and the problem is too complex for simpler models. Deep learning can handle more data, larger models and more computation, which often leads to better algorithms and new insights.

What problems does reinforcement learning solve?

Problems where a system has to learn to make the right decision step by step. The model receives a reward or a penalty for each action and improves at achieving the desired outcome over time.

What are GANs used for?

Generating new content that follows the patterns of the training data. A generator creates content and a discriminator tries to classify it as real or fake. Applications include image generation and image translation, for example in medical imaging research.

We lack data science talent. Can you still help?

Yes. A shortage of data science talent is one of the most common barriers to AI adoption. Our team brings the expertise in these methods, builds the solution with you and can help your people learn to work with it.

Do you only use the newest methods?

No. We use advanced methods where they add value. Where a simpler machine learning model solves the problem well, we recommend it.
