Capabilities

LLM Benchmarking & Selection

With the proliferation of large language models — from proprietary tools like Open AI’s ChatGPT to open-source offerings like Meta’s LLaMA — selecting the right model for your use case is essential. Our Data & AI Research Team (DART) applies advanced methodologies to rapidly evaluate LLMs for speed and latency, accuracy and truthfulness, relative cost, scalability, compute, and more. 

LLM Monitoring

Given the constant evolution of generative AI tools, there is no “set it and forget it.” Monitoring for degradation and model drift is critical. WillowTree AI Engineering Services will track performance and governance compliance, identify errors or regression, and minimize AI hallucinations — all while optimizing and fine-tuning for model improvement.

MLOps

Effectively deploy and manage machine learning models at scale. Our expertise ranges from building robust pipelines for model training and deployment to implementing automated monitoring and version control systems. We leverage industry best practices to ensure smooth integration of models into production environments, delivering efficient model operations and minimizing downtime. With our MLOps offerings, businesses can streamline machine learning workflows, improve model performance, and drive successful and sustainable AI initiatives.

Natural Language Processing

WillowTree’s NLP expertise spans use cases, including sentiment analysis, entity recognition, topic modeling, text classification, and more. Through advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques, we analyze and interpret unstructured text data with precision and accuracy.

Computer Vision

Our computer vision capabilities help clients extract valuable insights from visual data. Our computer vision experts leverage cutting-edge techniques like object detection, image classification, and optical character recognition to develop custom solutions tailored to unique client needs. For example, we’ve built systems that automate visual inspections, detect anomalies in medical images, assess satellite imagery to predict crop yields, and more. Our toolset includes advanced algorithms like convolutional neural networks and cloud-based AI services.

Predictive Analytics

Harness the power of predictive analytics to make data-driven decisions. Our solutions help you forecast trends, anticipate customer needs, and optimize operations. We provide tools and models that turn your data into actionable insights.

Data Monetization

Unlock the value of your data assets by identifying new revenue opportunities. We help you develop strategies to commercialize data, creating new business models and streams of income. Our approach ensures that your data generates maximum ROI.
