Consortium between competitors

Machine learning algorithms require a large amount of data to increase their performance. But, within an industry, this data is often scattered among different actors who cannot afford to share what is the core of their business. 

HOW TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY THROUGH MACHINE LEARNING, WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SECURITY OF EACH COMPETITOR'S DATA?

A new model of collaboration


Develop efficient machine learning models based on data from several companies and partner organizations, without exposing the relevant datasets, and thus allowing participants to preserve their core business values.

PROTECT THE DATA

Sensitive data remains on the infrastructure specific to each consortium member. Only metadata and models are shared between the different partners.

Each partner preserves the value of its data.

ENSURE TRACEABILITY

Based on Hyperledger Fabric, the distributed ledger within Substra allows to manage the rights and authorizations of each partner and to track all actions performed within the consortium. 

No action can be carried out without the agreement of the consortium participants.

CO-BUILD MODELS

Thanks to transfer learning, partners can decide to share only part of the model, the lower layers constituting a common core, the upper layers remaining private. 

Only a common core can be shared to strengthen data confidentiality.
