Vyasa Analytics Demos Deep Learning Software for Life Sciences at Bio-IT World 2018
BOSTON (PRWEB) May 10, 2018 -- Vyasa Analytics, a provider of deep learning software and analytics for life sciences and healthcare organizations, today announces three pre-built deep learning analytics modules for its Cortex software at Bio-IT World Conference & Expo. Cortex enables the secure, scalable application of deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) analytics to enterprise data, identifying patterns, relationships and concepts across disparate data sources.
The new Neural Concept Recognition, Image Analytics and ChemVector analytics modules in Cortex enable life sciences organizations to quickly and easily apply deep learning analytics to large data streams of text, images and chemical structures. Like all deep learning analytical modules in Cortex’s library, these new modules allow users to ask complex questions of their data and use the answers to gain critical insights.
“Life sciences and healthcare organizations are using AI tools to advance research and development and deliver better patient care. Deep learning algorithms provide a set of powerful approaches that help us apply analytics more effectively and comprehensively across large scale data sources,” said Dr. Christopher Bouton, founder and CEO of Vyasa. “The idea of AI has been around for decades, but we are now experiencing a perfect storm of GPU-based computing power, deep learning algorithm advances and highly scalable data sources that enables paradigm-shifting machine learning and analytics capabilities.”
Vyasa will be demoing three deep learning analytics modules for Cortex at Bio-IT World 2018 in Boston from May 15 to 17, including:
· Neural Concept Recognition. This module can be trained on text concepts (e.g. drugs, diseases, pathways, conditions, side effects, genes) in structured and unstructured data. Users can ask Cortex complex questions across large scale data sets, and discover unexpected relationships between concept types. Concept recognition analytics is applicable to a wide range of use cases from competitive intelligence, to drug repurposing and EHR analytics.
· Life Sciences R&D Specialized Image Analytics. Deep learning enables novel, powerful forms of image analytics, capable of being trained to detect patterns and objects in large scale image data sources. With just a few clicks in Cortex, the user can connect large streams of image data and apply analytics to those sources. Vyasa has finely-tuned this analysis for life sciences images, and it is ideal for cell assay screening, drug manufacturing and post-market screening for counterfeit packaging and tablets.
· ChemVector de novo Compound Design. This proprietary Cortex module applies deep learning to chemical structures. Users can drag and drop one or more SDF files containing SMILES strings into Cortex, and Cortex can identify and generate novel compounds that optimize critical variables such as log-p, molecular weight and synthetic viability. ChemVector can be used with a range of other chemistry-specific analytical modules also available in Cortex.
Dr. Bouton, Vyasa’s founder and CEO, received his BA in Neuroscience (Magna Cum Laude) from Amherst College in 1996 and his Ph.D. in Molecular Neurobiology from Johns Hopkins University in 2001. Previously Dr. Bouton was the CEO of Entagen a software company founded in 2008 that provided innovative Big Data products including Extera and TripleMap. Entagen's technologies won numerous awards including the "Innovative Technology of the Year Award for Big Data" from the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council in 2012 and Entagen was recognized as a Gartner "Cool Vendor" in the Life Sciences in 2013. Entagen was acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2013. Dr. Bouton is an author on over a dozen scientific papers and book chapters and his work has been covered in a number of industry news articles.
