Three-year project on testing of machine learning systems launched

New research aims to develop methods and tools for the creation of safe and reliable AI systems. An interest group for Finnish companies is also planned.

The University of Helsinki is starting a three-year IVVES research project (Industrial-grade Verification and Validation of Evolving Systems). The project gained a funding of 1,3 million euros from Business Finland.

The aim of the project is to develop methods and tools for the creation of safe and reliable AI systems.

– We can now significantly extend our research efforts on testing, continuous development, and maintenance of machine learning systems together with our partners in Finland, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada. We are also planning to set up an interest group for Finnish companies interested in the project, says professor Jukka K. Nurminen from the department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki.

The University of Helsinki's work in the project is jointly headed by professors Tommi Mikkonen and Jukka K. Nurminen.
