What is it?

DataLogic/R is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based software designed to perform multiple tasks in data analysis, knowledge discovery and reasoning from data. DataLogic/R is based on a new, proprietary AI approach to working with imprecise, incomplete and inconsistent data. The key idea behind DataLogic is that generalization of information helps to uncover regularities and knowledge in data. DataLogic provides rigorous mathematical techniques for generalization of information in data and for analysis of knowledge contained in databases.

DataLogic extracts knowledge from disorganized, incomplete and ambiguous data and presents this knowledge in the form of simple rule statements. It does this by eliminating superfluous and irrelevant information, by combining the key logical and probabilistic patterns in data, and by finding the best representation for the knowledge.

DataLogic can be used on your business or process data to:

• look for important patterns, events and regularities in data to uncover important knowledge, e.g. in market research, stock trend analysis, analysis of scientific data, agricultural research, drug research, etc.

• develop predictive models/forecasts which can be easily updated as new data are obtained, e.g. credit and collection models, forecasting of business performance, prediction of bankruptcies, quality control, process control models, etc.

• develop expert systems for handling inquiries, decision support, deskhelp, e.g. for mortgage approval, auditing medical claims, under-writing of loans, real estate appraisal, fault diagnosis, medical diagnosis, etc.

DataLogic provides a combination of technical capabilities for reasoning from data not offered by any other AI product or technology. This includes the ability to:

• ignore noise while searching for strong repetitive patterns
  

• provide clear knowledge and models which are easy to understand and work with
  

• work with imprecise, incomplete and inconsistent data
  

• represent knowledge in databases by exploring both logical and probabilistic information contained in databases
  

• generate rules that are, on average, twice as strong as rules from other machine learning or induction products.

What do they say about it?

"DataLogic models represent an extensive data analysis in the form of IF-THEN rules, which many users have utilized not just to make classification on future data, but also to gain a greater understanding of the patterns of behavior in their data. ... in some sense, DataLogic/R reasons about data at a higher level of abstraction than other products. Its ability to handle large numbers of input variables and its simple knowledge representation make it an attractive product."
- Will Dwinnel, AI Expert, June 1994

"Summarizing, this is a unique product on the market that could be recommended as a novel and original framework for data analysis. It will be an indispensable tool for everybody interested in pursuing applied research."
- Wiltold Pedrycz, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 65, 1994

"DataLogic has some interesting advantages... Its rules are easier to understand than the mathematical equations of regression or neural networks, it automatically eliminates redundant data elements, and it can handle imprecise, inconsistent, missing and ambiguous data."
- David Raab, DM News, Jan. 1994
