Data Mining and Consulting Services

KnowledgeMiner's self-organizing data mining technologies have a long history. The software integrates results from over 30 years of research and application from different sciences like cybernetics, systems theory, computer science, and mathematics making it a most objective, fast and systematically working knowledge discovery tool. However, only a fraction of existing technologies and concepts have been implemented in the publicly available KnowledgeMiner software tool yet. It is evolving software, but you can profit from the experience of our renowned experts, and from our in-house tools and innovative technologies right now in using our services. Recent years have shown that self-organizing data mining technologies if applied properly is the easiest, fastest, and a most reliable way to mine data and to extract some knowledge in form of equations, rules, patterns, or cluster that describe that data. It is exactly that discovered knowledge that makes the difference and that is key to improve model results and to gain some insights into investigated "black boxes". Have a look at various applications.


Data Mining


If you have a one-time modeling, classification or prediction problem or if you just want to save your time necessary for learning how to use a software tool and how to get the most out of your data, our data mining service may be what you have been looking for. Based on a nondisclosure agreement you send us your data and you will get back shortly a set of models that

  1. are composed of relevant inputs. Our algorithms automatically select important inputs during self-organization of models.
  2. describe your data appropriated. Based on the data's noise level, e.g., we decide which algorithms are suited to model the data. Self-organising data mining not just only models the input-output behavior like common Neural Networks do, but they also always provide a corresponding explanation of the data. This can be:
    • regression models of static systems y=f(x) or dynamic systems y=f(x, t)
    • fuzzy/logic IF-THEN rules composed of linguistic variables and AND, OR, NOT operators describing static or dynamic systems
    • similar patterns/cases for prediction or classification problems identifying similarities in the data
    • cluster of similar data samples or variables
  3. generalize well on new data. Our self-organizing modeling technologies have a built-in mechanism that generate optimal complex models to avoid overfitting with respect to the data's noise level and the information used to train the models. On a most possible likelihood, this ensures that the generated models also do well on new data.
  4. are bundled to a combined solution. Usually, a model is a simplified, one-sided reflection of reality only. Combining different models from different data mining technologies can result in more certain and more robust object description. Therefore, we will give you a bundle of self-organized models into your hands.

Results and models will be summarized in a report and will become a property of you. Interpretations, suggestions, and conclusions of the results are not included in the data mining service. Check out consulting for this. Send a short note for further information.
