»An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes
which can be made in a very narrow field.«
(Niels Bohr)
We are experts in innovative and creative solutions for problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with conventional methods of data analysis. Vast knowledge in the area of data warehousing and big data analysis goes together with software that combines technology from the areas of
- Neural Networks
- Genetic Algorithms
- Genetic Programming
- Fuzzy Logic
- Statistics
The great majority of today’s »artificial intelligence« applications merely reproduce solutions previously laid out for them by human programmers. Pocket calculators achieve the same goal, but should we consider them intelligent?
Good teachers teach their students how to learn by furnishing an environment that allows them to apply and exercise their abilities and special talents. Through careful guidance, the teacher promotes their optimal development. We look at our software in just the same way.
We are dedicated to the development of systems of autonomous artificial intelligence. Within conventional computers, we create environments where these systems can learn and grow. We respect the fact that they speak a different language and that many of the ways in which they go about solving a problem have not yet occurred to us or are not found in our textbooks. In turn, a generation of software systems has evolved that does not merely rehearse what we already know, but that presents solutions and approaches to solutions for a variety of problems that were considered intractable or impossible to solve.
Evolving Software
The focus of our research and product development is evolving software – programs and program components that are able to learn, to improve themselves and to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
In order to be able to develop such intelligence, the applications must perceive and understand their surroundings. They must develop memory structures and a capacity of abstraction that allow them to distinguish between suitable and unsuitable solutions.
The environments in which our applications prove successful are the often enormous quantities of data of our customers. The task is to extract information from the data that will be useful to the customer (data mining). With this information, the systems are then able to find a solution for the problems formulated by the customer.
Our most important product is our know-how. Every member of our team has more than ten years of experience working on projects in one or more of the following areas: data mining, application development, project management and workgroup computing. Our customers benefit from this experience in a variety of ways.
Through consulting projects, we are able to share our know-how with our customers. The areas of expert consultation range from data and web mining to artificial intelligence application issues and to automated strategy development based on our artificial intelligence technologies.
