Our services
Data Analytics
Data-driven companies are more successful and profitable than their competitors. Using advanced data analysis and visualizations, we create big data solutions to help you identify new business opportunities, understand your clients, and find patterns and anomalies in your business processes.
Deep Learning
Using deep learning, you can extract the full potential of your data to automate any business process, forecast market trends, and provide added value to your services. We optimize your company by building intelligent algorithms that deal with text, images, audio signals, or any other type of data that you use.
Interpretable AI
You cannot depend on an AI system you do not understand. In our mission to guarantee trust and adoption, we deliver systems that are completely understandable by humans. With our interpretable models, we ensure that the model solves the right problem so you can focus on deriving value.

Regression Analysis for COVID-19
We analyzed the spread of COVID-19 in Europe during its initial phase, which allowed us to make estimations on the growth rate for different countries. We further deployed an accurate predictive model for the future number of deaths by leveraging the lag between reported cases and demises.

Robust Route Planner
Current route planners only consider shortest travel time, while neglecting the risk of missing any connection in the recommended route. We developed an algorithm that calculates optimal journeys between two points given an input risk threshold. We validated our system with Zurich's public transport network.

Intelligent Exercise Tracker
Using image analysis and machine learning techniques, we prototyped a software able to record a person, and identify and keep track of 10 different types of exercise. This product could be installed at gyms to give a personalized and intelligent exercise tracker service.

Detecting Astroturfing on Twitter
An astroturfing attack consists of the use of automated bots to boost the appearance of a particular keyword in the trending topics of social media. We presented an unsupervised algorithm to detect suspicious patterns in tweet publications based uniquely on time-series data.

Extreme Winds Risk Assessment
Extreme winds in dry regions are a major hazard, as they have an important role in spreading wildfires. We used extreme value theory to estimate the frequency of extreme winds throughout the year in Southern California. Moreover, we assessed the risk of forest fires in the region.
