A data large firms to establish algebraic topology as the gold standard of scientific data by launching the topological analysis leading global data (AD) platform.

Ayasdi, whose founders are renowned mathematics professor Gunnar Carlsson, presented today in Palo Alto, California, after receiving $ 10.25m from investors including Khosla Ventures in the first round of funding.

The funds will be used to strengthen its discovery platform Regard, the culmination of 12 years of research and development in mathematics, computing, and data visualization at Stanford.

work before its publication as a company has made great progress in the pharmaceutical industry. In one case revealed new knowledge in eight hours - compared to the previous standard of 100 hours -. Cut the rotation analysis of clinical trials in the process

"platform Ayasdi uses machine intelligence to find focus important - and never before - the answers to help you solve some of the world's most pressing social and economic," said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures and co-founder of 2010-Oracle acquisition of Sun Microsystems

Such was the faith in the project of the Stanford Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the National Science Foundation pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars in the company of Carlsson while still in its stages.

modern business intelligence allows analysts to delve into complex database and find answers to predetermined questions, but the emerging field of science is concerned with finding the questions that should be put large amounts of data and unstructured often produce results that would otherwise be invisible.

Using topology data scientists can do, the performance of algorithms that perform the analysis of what is actually blind in a database reveal inherent tendencies of the latter, instead show correlations between selected variables.

"The power of the greatest challenges in large volumes of data today is to ask the right questions to the right data. Ayasdi is its unique ability to automatically discover the views undoubtedly "said CEO Ayasdi Gurjeet Singh.

This type of analysis is useful for a wide range of industries, and the platform has already Ayasdi unprecedented results in areas such as cancer treatment, the fight against fraud and prediction strategy terrorism.

"The technology developed in Ayasdi is one of the top ten innovations developed by DARPA in the last decade and is the key to unlocking some of the biggest national security challenges we face TODAY ' Today, "said Tony Tether, former director of DARPA.

good health has probably been the main beneficiary of the TDA, with the first results of several areas that go beyond what was previously possible.

In 2012, a project of the Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology (IGMB) Ayasdi platform used to identify genetic predisposition to diseases such as cancer. IGMB director Eric Schadt, said he hoped that new ideas "will lead to the discovery of innovative medicines."

health Ayasdi In another project made new discoveries from a data set covering the chest 11 years, the search for survivors previously hidden sub-populations whose characteristics can now be used to help to research and development of new drugs and regimens.
