Viscovery‘s History:

Viscovery was founded by Gerhard Kranner in 1994 under the name Eudaptics Software GmbH, which was renamed to Viscovery Software GmbH in 2007. Gerhard Kranner led Viscovery as its managing director for over 27 years. In this time the Viscovery products were introduced which were the first commercial software packages world-wide for self-organizing map applications. Over the years the Viscovery products were refined and expanded with new state-of-the-art algorithms and Viscoverys own inventions, like the local SOM prediction (2002), the Viscovery Big Data visualization (2017) or the Connectivity clustering (2022).

In 2008, Viscovery was listed as the only data mining vendor in continental Europe in Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant 2008 for Customer Data-Mining Applications”. For many years now, Viscovery software is being used by numerous customers from different application areas, such as life sciences, manufacturing, banking, insurance, telecom, media, retail, as well as research organizations and universities on all continents. This led to over 500 scientific articles using Viscovery technology, see https://www.viscovery.net/scientific-articles for a curated selection of them.

In 2022, Gerhard Kranner handed over the day-to-day business to the younger generation and guided Viscovery into the Viscovery AI Alliance, a new project of Viscovery Software GmbH with its owners Microstep AG and STAT-UP GmbH, to provide an even better and more comprehensive product and service portfolio to its customers. Apart from Viscoverys high performance software and its specialized training and consulting services, the Viscovery AI alliance offers a wider range of data science and statistical consulting, contract research and interactive and cloud-based software services around data and its applications.

The Viscovery team invites you to join us into the future. Connect with us through LinkedIn or on upcoming events and get to know our current projects and technological advances.

Together with Nicolas Rost and his colleagues from the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, we published the article Multimodal predictions of treatment outcome in major depression: A comparison of data-driven predictors with importance ratings by clinicians in the Journal of Affective Disorders.

The aim of this article is to find reliable models to predict treatment outcomes for patients with major depressive disorder. To this end, multiple outcome data were clustered using Viscovery´s SOM-Ward algorithm and with a consensus clustering approach utilizing a Python k-medoids algorithm. The resulting cluster models are in good accordance with each other and define useful outcome classes. In a second step, supervised machine learning methods, namely logistic regression and random forest, were used to predict outcome classes based on the patients´ baseline assessments.
