Constrained Monotonic Neural Networks

Our experiments show that our approach of building monotonic deep neural networks have matching or better accuracy when compared to other state-of-the-art methods such as deep lattice networks or monotonic networks obtained by heuristic regularization. This method is the simplest one in the sense of having the least number of parameters, not requiring any modifications to the learning procedure or post-learning steps.

Another patent application: adding a layer of explainability to neural networks without compromising accuracy!

We managed to find a simple solution to a problem that exists in the literature for over 30 years, and which ensures the monotonicity of deep learning models. Compared to the Google’s Deep Lattice Networks that are current benchmark, our solution is more accurate while using at least 10 times less parameters, thus dramatically reducing computing resources necessary for training and predictions.

Attention Augmented Convolutional Transformer for Tabular Time-series

Time-series classification is one of the most frequently performed tasks in industrial data science, and one of the most widely used data representation in the industrial setting is tabular representation. In this work, we propose a novel scalable architecture for learning representations from tabular time-series data and subsequently performing downstream tasks such as time-series classification.

AI in telco industry

Big data, big industry, and pretty big thing today. CroAI meetup’s goal was to find out how AI is being used in the telecom industry, with our Davor Runje as one of the presenters and our Hajdi Cenan as a moderator.


Do you really use the power of AI (in your bank)?

AI is here, and it’s here to stay. Everyone is talking about it and there is probably no single enterprise out there that’s already not implementing it. But where they very much differ is — where — in that implementation journey they currently are. Most enterprises rely on the services of the software provider or an AI development company, but those often have technical, but not industry-specific knowledge. Others try to build the capacity in-house, as they prefer that approach to outsourcing. However, not many actually have the resources necessary to tackle the work internally, due to the low availability and high cost of AI experts.

Hrvatski AI startup airt napada globalno tržište

airtAI rješenje za banke procesira povijesne transakcije postojećih klijenata banaka i na osnovu njih predviđa kako će klijenti raspolagati novcem u budućnosti. Za svakog pojedinačnog klijenta model predviđa vjerojatnost budućih transakcija, na primjer kolika je vjerojatnost da će kupiti gorivo na konkretnoj benzinskoj postaji ili kolika je vjerojatnost da će za vikend otići u shopping ili na izlet u prirodu. Na osnovi ovog temeljnog modela, izrađuju se modeli koji rješavaju konkretan poslovni problem, na primjer kolika je vjerojatnost da je klijentu potreban kredit ili prilika za ulaganje. Tehnologija se bazira na najnovijim tehnikama dubokog učenja razvijenima za razumijevanje jezika, ali prilagođenima za procesiranje bankarskih podataka.
