Berlin, Germany – KnowledgeMiner Software today is proud to announce the release of Insights 3.1, an update to its critically acclaimed application that brings conventional data mining to a new level of sophistication and applicability. The application now adds Auto-updating of models for fast and accurate forecasting of market prices, market demand, sales figures, or energy load. Users now can run simulations on historical data stored in Excel for backtesting or use it on real-time data for continuous forecasting of processes several steps ahead. All results are reported and stored in Excel for further use or workflow integration. Insights is also used for modeling and prediction of engineering problems, climate change, health or life sciences-related questions, or mining collections of data from government agencies.
Feature Highlights:
* High performance adaptive learning knowledge mining with ease
* Similar Patterns sequential pattern recognition method with auto-updating for long-term, continuous forecasting
* Model export to Microsoft Excel, to ready-to-use AppleScript code, or to TEXT to be used in MATLAB
* 64-bit parallel software
* Hides all complex processes, such as knowledge extraction, model development, and variables selection, from user
* Self-organizes data and models and generalizes the equation that describes the data
* Live Prediction Validation technology
* Includes documentation, extra literature, sample data and models for several data samples
Taking observational data that describes a problem, system, or process, Insights constructs a working mathematical model. Compatible with data stored in a variety of popular formats (i.e. Microsoft Excel), Insights has outstanding inductive modeling algorithms that allow users to easily extract new and useful knowledge to support decision-making. Users can develop predictive models and model ensembles, along with a prediction interval from low to high-dimensional noisy data, of up to several thousands of input variables. Insights creates a validated optimal complex analytical model that can be applied and exported to Excel, AppleScript, or MATLAB for further analysis.
Since complex, fuzzy, or very noisy processes are hard to model and predict by known parametric modeling and data mining technologies, Insights features Similar Patterns self-organizing technology. Similar Patterns can be seen as a sequential pattern recognition method that predicts and qualitatively explains fuzzy processes inherently. The method implemented in Insights utilizes an original modeling approach to make it applicable to evolutionary (non-stationary) time processes.
“Insights opens up a wealth of new possibilities to individuals, small business owners and scientists that were previously available only to large entities that could afford expensive data mining application,” says Frank Lemke, founder of KnowledgeMiner Software. “The ability to continuously make predictions from auto-associative past patterns is the core of human intelligence. Self-similarity is a phenomenon often found in nature such as the Golden Ratio. Our Similar Patterns technology now make these proven and powerful concepts available for solving forecasting problems in many fields.” There are 3 different editions of Insights with a host of features: Insights Free, Insights Advanced, and Insights Pro. Insights Free is perfect for high model accuracy on smaller identification and classification problems. Insights has been used in a host of solutions and publications including the diagnosis of fetal heart rate signals from a number of measurements, indoor temperature forecasting for energy management and control purposes, global warming and ozone concentration forecasting, and modeling and prediction of energy related problems like crude oil price forecasting and peak oil.

Located in Berlin, Germany, KnowledgeMiner Software was founded in 1993 by Frank Lemke. The company is active in research, development, consulting, and application of self-organizing modeling and knowledge discovery technologies. It developed and implemented a number of original technologies for validation of inductively built data mining models. KMS has been doing consulting in model development and prediction of toxicological and eco-toxicological hazards and risks of chemical compounds from experimental data for regulatory purposes within REACH and participated in three international research projects funded by the European Commission related to QSAR. Other fields of activity have been climate change related modeling and prediction problems, sales and demand predictions, macro- and micro-economic modeling problems like national economy and balance sheet prediction, energy consumption analysis and prediction, medical diagnosis, and wastewater reuse problems.
