Creating your questions
AIMdays are well suited for concrete technical challenges or problems without an established approach or practice. Your questions may be motivated by a business need, an intractable challenge or an opportunity to innovate requiring capabilities that are not yet on the market.
Your submission includes a top-line question and a background statement. The question should outline the general technical area or problem and the use case. The background statement should include relevant contextual information to understand why the question is important to you, what is currently not working, and what you would like to take form the AIMday discussion.
Company questions accepted to AIMday will be published openly on this website and promoted to academics and researchers throughout the University of Edinburgh, allowing them to select the questions they feel they can add most value to according to their individual expertise.
When phrasing your question(s), please ensure that they are concrete and clear (with no abbreviations) and that they can be discussed openly. This style of question works best for the AIMday format. When registering your question, please ensure that you can facilitate access to the necessary data to develop a data driven or digital solution to your challenge.
We welcome up to three questions from each participating company or organisation.
Some example questions are listed below. You are welcome to contact us if you need help phrasing an appropriate question.
- How can we mitigate against security and privacy risks when using agentic LLMs?
- How can we deploy AI models into production without causing performance bottlenecks?
- How do we extract signal from limited, noisy or imbalanced datasets to deliver reliable value in other data-sparse contexts?
- How do we configure our data for predictive modelling and which algorithms are most effective for such tasks?
