Commercial projects

Wish-IT ®, Wish Innovation Technologies ®
In this project we are developing a new business framework for customer driven innovation. The technology behind this is patent applied and based upon advanced data mining, machine learning and pattern recognition techniques. Basically it is a framework to "provide the customer with what the consumer wish ©". The project and the services will later be presented at The Wish-IT ® portal.
Knowledge Discovery in a Drug Safety Database
Within this joint project together with the WHO Collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring in Uppsala (WHO-UMC), Sweden, NeuroLogic is responsible for the development of methods for automated discovery of dependencies and complex patterns in large databases. The methods developed in this on-going project have been in routine use, since 1998, to signal possible causal relationships between drug substances and adverse events, in the world's largest collection of spontaneous reports of suspected adverse drug reactions.

Knowledge Discovery in a Patient Safety Database
In 2002, NeuroLogic carried out a pilot study of the application of automated knowledge discovery methods for pattern recognition to a database of adverse incidents within the British National Health Service (NHS). The sponsor of this project was the UK National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA).
Automated Risk Assessment for Cases of Organo-Phosphate Poisoning
On behalf of the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), NeuroLogic implemented a Bayesian Neural Network for predicting the outcome of organo-phosphate poisoning. Classification was based on a set of approximately 50 relevant variables including for example gender, age, heart rate and blood pressure.
Pulp Quality Modeling
In a project sponsored by the Swedish Pulp and Paper Research Institute (STFI) and the Swedish Research Council for Engineering Sciences (TFR), NeuroLogic developed a Bayesian Mixture Density Neural Network for prediction of pulp quality based on process parameters.

Research projects

Bayesian Dependency Derivation
To be able to rank dependencies in a database with respect to both strength and statistical significance, simultaneously, NeuroLogic has developed a Bayesian dependency derivation method referred to as IC analysis. The method relies on estimated credibility intervals for a disproportionality measure closely related to Mutual Information.
Norén (2002), Orre et al. (2000)
Complex Pattern Recognition
The search for complex patterns in large databases, is a challenge both analytically and computationally. NeuroLogic is working with the development of robust and efficient pattern recognition methods based on neural networks and Bayesian inference.
Orre et al. (2003)
Probabilistic Discriminatory Analysis
NeuroLogic's efforts in discriminatory analysis focuses mainly on the implications of uncertainty in probabilistic classification. Feature selection, extraction and methods for handling missing data are also active areas of research.

Text Mining
The ability to automatically analyse and interpret free text is vital in many data mining applications. NeuroLogic is looking to gradually increase its efforts related to this aspect of knowledge discovery in databases.
