KnowledgeMiner Software is a privately held company in the field of research, consulting, development, and application of unique self-organising, inductive, statistical learning modelling and knowledge discovery technologies for more than 14 years located in the U.S. and Germany. It has established research co-operations with recognised scientists and experts in adaptive learning, control systems, and knowledge mining from Germany, Ukraine, Czech Republic, China, USA, Greece, and Italy. The company is the developer of the KnowledgeMiner® software package, a distinguished commercial self-organising modeling and knowledge extraction tool. It implements a unique and innovative set of parallel algorithms for modelling, validation, and workflow processing of complex, high-dimensional systems to allow knowledge extraction from noisy data in a most objective, automated, and fast way. It has been applied in various fields like economics, ecology, medicine and sociology, biotechnology, and life sciences. Some of more recent projects include:

1. ‣Cancer research,
   

2. ‣Prediction of wastewater pre-precipitation and wastewater reuse,
   

3. ‣Identifying walking gait abnormalities for persons wearing prosthetic legs,
   

4. ‣Analyzing medical data obtained from observing eye movement of children (both healthy children and those who display reading abnormalities),
   

5. ‣Modeling and prediction of regional economies and related economic problems,
   

6. ‣Problematic pharmaceutical manufacturing processes,
   

7. ‣Researching various aspects of language teaching and learning,
   

8. ‣Discovering the relationship between altered multiple sclerosis ("MS") intensities in the caudate nucleus and patient disability in MS.
   

Another area of success has been in the European Union, where KnowledgeMiner has been used to predict the environmental repercussions of toxicity residues from a list of 30,000 chemical compounds. KnowledgeMiner can model available data to check hazards like carcinogenicity, skin sensitization, developmental toxicity or acute toxicity of pesticides. This was done in two international research projects funded by the European Commission based solely on the compounds' chemical structures. The results of these projects fit the strict requirements set by the European legislative assessment concerning these chemical compounds, known as REACH. This, when implemented by European regulators, ends up saving the lives of thousands of animals a year in Europe that previously were used as the frontline to test the toxicity of these compounds. We hope this approach will spread to other countries in the world to save the needless sacrifice of animals without loosing safety of human health and the environment. The results of this project are available at:
