We are proud to announce that the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse) has approved our grant application and will fund our RESOUND project.
In the field of agriculture markets, the quality of information is central to deliver any reliable forecast or market appraisal. Unfortunately this is hard to reach for two reasons: (1) data sources are not always trustworthy, (2) forecasting models have to take into account heterogeneous data impaired with different levels of trust.
With the participation of two schools from the University of applied sciences and art, Western Switzerland(HES-SO), RESOUND aims to be the first-of-its-kind to provide a higher standard of information quality that involves the joint learning of trust and forecasting models. This resulting joint model is a unique innovation based on patent search at IPI (Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property). The platform improves the overall quality of information through continuous learning to understand what forecasting is reliable given the source that has delivered it.
This project will add a new service for existing customers and address current and new market segments, leveraging key market players and a better market understanding through a higher standard of forecasting quality.
