Tympana for No-Code Data-Centric AI

Tympana, a powerful web-based platform that brings Machine Learning tools to the hands of the domain experts. Tympana assists scientists in building high quality Machine Learning models for their complex data, allowing them to scale their expertise and serving as a multiplier in efforts. Designed to be user friendly, Tympana requires no programming or coding skills on the part of the user. Tympana integrates active learning, explainable AI, and generative AI to create robust models and datasets that can be exported for scientific workflows. Tympana currently has proof-of-concept use cases, in Protein Sequences, Image Object Detection and Sensor Signal detection. These use cases serve to demonstrate the capabilities of the Tympana platform. The active learning strategies utilized by Tympana have demonstrated a reduction in data volume requirements in initial experiments that will save scientists time in achieving comparable results. While it can be easy to instruct users at diverse education levels how to recognize a specific object within an image, it requires years of training to properly evaluate a sensor reading from a DNA sequencer, an X-ray, CT scan, or a particle accelerator. These domains require an inherent body of knowledge and experience that does not lend itself to annotation by the general public. Tympana enables scientists to comb through large volumes of data and teach the computer what features are important, putting scientists in the driver seat of their own analysis.
