IML4E – News

Last week we held the last official IML4E plenary meeting in Budapest. Our main focus whas the accomplishment of the final project task. Important topics were the preparation of the last project review and the organisation of a dissemination event, where we want to present the project results to the public.

Last week, the 6th plenary meeting of the IML4E project took place in Budapest. We were hosted by Budapest University and, as usual, had several events linked together.

The IML4E project has had a very successful week. The week started with the project plenary at the University of Helsinki. The plenary is always a good chance to bring all project partner together and make progress especially with the cooperative parts of the project.

Between 14.02. and 16.02.2023 the 4th plenary meeting of the international IML4E project took place. This time we were guests at Software AG in the peaceful town of Eberstadt near Darmstadt. The meeting was characterized by concentrated work addressing the progress related to the common results and innovations of the project.

With the completion of the deliverable IML4E-D4.2-Initial MLOps methodology and the architecture of the IML4E framework, the IML4E project has reached its third milestone. Accomplishing this milestone, we have defined an initial version of the IML4E framework. This includes methods, techniques and tools for efficient data preparation as well as for automation of activities in training, testing and deployment of models.

Can we produce intelligent software the way the automotive industry produces vehicles? This question was posed by Nayur Khan, one of the speakers at the kick-off event of the lecture series initiated by the #IML4E project on the industrial application of machine learning and the potential of MLOps.

This week the third physical plenary meeting of the IML4e project took place. We met with more than 20 people at the Budapest Technical University. We had fruitful discussions around our current main focus point the IML4E framework.

Last week, the IML4E project successfully passed its first review. After one year of hard work and good preparation, we were able to present our project innovations based on a solid market analysis.

While IML4E develops methods and tools for the efficient implementation of MLOps in European industry, the IVVES project focuses on the development of systematic approaches for robust and comprehensive industry-grade V&V of "embedded AI" systems.

After 13 months we have now, with some delay, reached our second project milestone in the IML4e project. The milestone includes the completion of a total of 4 technical deliverables, 3 of which are publicly available.

Last week the second physical plenary meeting of the IML4e project took place. We met with more than 20 people in Berlin at Fraunhofer FOKUS. The discussions focused on the IML4E Framework and the IML4E Experimentation Platform, two project innovations that are jointly developed by all partners.

Over the past three days, the first physical IML4E plenary meeting has taken place in Helsinki. After almost a year of project work under corona conditions, our three-day meeting allowed us to see how productive meetings can be when people actually sit face-to-face. We were able to enjoy three full days of exciting discussions about our case studies, their requirements and the technical solutions planned in the project, as well as the related research.

This afternoon the first Advisory Board meeting of the IML4E Project Advisory Board took place. The board is supposed to extend the reach of the project specifically in the software industry and to discuss the results of the IML4E project with selected stakeholders at an early stage.

After 8 months we have reached our first project milestone in the IML4e project. The milestone includes the completion of 8 deliverables of which 2 are publicly available.

In the last three days, after the kick off in autumn, the first plenary meeting of the IML4E project took place. Instead of the originally planned meeting in Helsinki, we had to settle for a virtual meeting this time.

In the last two weeks Fraunhofer FOKUS and the German IML4E consortium have initiated further activities with regard to the exploitation of IML4E results in standardization. Participants from Siemens, Software AG, Spicetech and Fraunhofer FOKUS presented their research ideas and first results.
