<\/i> Who We Are Now<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Company<\/h2>\n

We are the pattern discovery company. We created the first Pattern Discovery Engine\u2122 (PDE\u2122). The PCI PDE\u2122 discovers novel patterns in complex data that cannot be discovered using conventional analytical techniques, algorithms, or tools, even on exascale computers.<\/p>\n

We are the next generation of machine learning and AI. We have developed the PDE\u2122, a proprietary, end-to-end system for generating new hypotheses and insights from data to enable you to transform the speed, efficiency, and effectiveness of your research, business operations and\/or products and services.<\/p>\n

In addition to the PDE\u2122, PCI\u2019s hypothesis-generating engine, the PCI team has developed new mathematics that is delivering true Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) today.<\/p>\n

This combination of innovations, the PDE\u2122, and true XAI, delivered on high dimensional data, dissecting real world problems is a groundbreaking new reality in analytics.<\/p>\n

These innovations and the analytical insights being delivered from them is prompting new ways of assessing and solving some of the most difficult and entrenched problems in our world today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT<\/h2>\n

We have brought together subject matter experts across a multitude of tech and scientific domains with the mission of bridging the prevailing gaps in ML to deliver breakthrough discoveries, beginning in our first domain of personalized medicine. We\u2019ve designed an integrated system optimized\u2014and have patents pending for our proprietary methods\u2014across 3 areas:<\/p>\n<\/div>

1.<\/span> Data Preparation<\/h3>\n

We clean, integrate, and structure the raw data during ingestion in a manner that greatly accelerates our analytical processing and enhances the ability of the PDE\u2122 to discover new patterns efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2.<\/span> Pattern Discovery Engine (PDE)<\/h3>\n

We apply new mathematics – through a series of newly developed proprietary algorithms – in an entirely automated analytical pipeline that delivers new discoveries of fine-grained insights against high dimensional data with proven speed, accuracy, and transparency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3.<\/span> Transparent Delivery of Insights & Underlying Causes and Drivers<\/h3>\n

We display results in clear, human readable format, and in a manner that illustrates that Explainable AI (XAI) is real, functional, and ready for use in making crucial business decisions. PCI\u2019s XAI can be used to explain highly accurate insights to internal and external parties such as compliance auditors or government regulators or oversight bodies. AI is no longer a \u201cblack box\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"PCI<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PCI\u2019s PDE\u2122 is an integrated engine that cleans and integrates raw data and produces an extensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA).\u00a0 The EDA is used by analysts to derive insights into the integrated data and the PDE\u2122 uses the EDA to determine which analytical techniques to employ to begin the predictive modeling process.\u00a0 PCI\u2019s PDE\u2122 determines which models or ensemble of models are appropriate for the type of data and the analytical challenge being addressed.\u00a0 PCI\u2019s Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is a feature of the PDE\u2122.\u00a0 As insights and prediction are generated from the predictive models, the XAI feature delivers human readable information on how and why the predictions were developed and delivered.\u00a0 PCI\u2019s PDE\u2122 with integrated XAI capabilities is the first and only analytical platform that transforms the Black Box into a Glass Box and makes all the predictions and insights completely transparent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
