Data Mining Software

RapAnalyst is a breakthrough software application that uses artificial intelligence and predictive modeling tools for faster and better ways to extract valuable information from your data.

What is Artificial lntelligence?

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, can be defined as the mimicking of thought and cognitive processes to solve complex problems automatically.

Although the term "artificial intelligence" was coined in 1954, many of its fundamental concepts have an ancient heritage. Some of these ideas have their origin in the work of an eccentric 13th century Spanish genius, Ramon Lull (1232-1316) who argued that thinking is a computational process, that computational processes involve combining symbols and that computation can be made mechanical. (For a brief history of AI, American Association for Artificial Intelligence website.)

What advanced AI techniques does RapAnalyst use?

• Neural Networks - Simulating the operation of a human brain, neural networks are formed from hundreds or thousands of simulated neurons connected together in much the same way as the brain's neurons connect. These "neural nets" are particularly effective for predicting events when the networks have a large database of prior examples to draw on. RapAnalyst uses neural networking to power its predictive engine.
• Genetic Algorithms - Genetic Algorithms are search techniques inspired by evolutionary biology using elements such as inheritance, mutation and natural selection. RapAnalyst uses this technology to simulate how problems can evolve to better solutions.
• Self Organizing Maps - A self-organizing map (SOM) is a unique type of neural network that constructs a topology map from many variables. Based on the perception systems used by mammals, which clusters similarly functioning neurons together, an SOM groups similar data points. RapAnalyst uses this technique to visually display data in formats that individuals can comprehend and relate to with ease.

What sort of computer hardware does RapAnalyst require?

Despite RapAnalyst's powerful nature and sophisticated technology, it is amazingly simple to own and use. RapAnalyst brings its intelligence to the desktop. A standard desktop computer will typically suffice (minimum requirements: 1.0 GHz Pentium processor , 256 MB RAM).
