Description

The main purpose of IDAL is the study and application of intelligent methods of data analysis for pattern recognition, with applications that struggle with prediction, classification or trend determination.

Its members apply classic statistical methods and automatic learning techniques to large databases: statistical hypothesis testing, linear models, feature selection and extraction, neural networks, clustering algorithms, decision trees, support vector machines, probabilistic graphical models, manifold visualization, fuzzy logic, reinforcement learning, etc.

The ultimate goal of the application of these methods is to generate mathematical models which enable the optimization of processes and resources, as well as to reach the optimal decision making stage. A clear example of this is the area of health, where IDAL has developed clinical decision support application based on data analysis. These applications make it possible to improve the patient’s quality of life (establishing optimal clinical guidelines) while reducing healthcare costs.

Complementing this knowledge, the group has extensive experience in signal processing (spectral analysis, digital filter, adaptive process, etc.) due to their work of over 10 years in biosignal processing (mainly ECG and EEG). With all this background, IDAL is able to analyse a wide range of data and signals. This fact is backed up by the large number of both private and public contracts it has developed in different areas of knowledge. Furthermore, most of the practical work carried out has been displayed in important scientific publications with high impact parameters and in a large number of communications to international congresses within the area of data analysis.

Among the developed applications, (outside the health area already mentioned) are the following, i.a: web recommendations, models for optimal incentive management to gain customer loyalty, measurement-based shoe recommendations, and other data analysis consultancy works. In addition to its practical work IDAL, it develops new data analysis algorithms improving the performance of the existing ones. This research work is also reflected in a wide dissemination in the form of different publications in journals of impact and in congresses of data analysis relevant to the scientific community.
