The Discovery Engine
A new paradigm of data-driven science.
What is the Discovery Engine?
It's a completely automated, end-to-end system for knowledge discovery from data.
It's exciting because our technology allows us to find far more interesting and useful patterns than was previously possible: non-linear relationships between data of different modalities; complex patterns based on multiple variables; meaningful novel features and more.
This enables a new kind of scientific enquiry. Instead formulating hypotheses and then gathering data to confirm or falsify them, we can begin with massive data and systematically extract all meaningful patterns from it. This not only minimises bias, subjectivity and irreproducibility, but is also much faster and can lead to more surprising discoveries.
Your data goes in, and insights come out.
What makes the Discovery Engine different?
The standard scientific method is hypothesis-driven, laborious, and limited by human assumptions. Typical ML workflows provide opaque, task-specific automation without real understanding of the underlying patterns. Our Discovery Engine outstrips both, and lets your data drive the process, leveraging deep learning for uniquely superhuman pattern recognition ability. This gives you access to insights that existing methods would never find, and is completely automated – saving hundreds of hours of modelling and analysis time.
How does it work?
Deep neural networks often achieve beyond expert ability on predictive tasks, encoding complex, non-linear relationships and extracting meaningful features without human intervention. The problem is, they’ve always been considered black boxes – they find novel patterns that enable superhuman performance, but we can’t then understand what they’ve learned. Our research changes that. Our automated system for training models optimised for knowledge discovery, combined with our novel interpretability algorithms, allow us to uniquely apply the pattern recognition ability of deep learning to systematically extract insights from complex data.

FAQ
How mature is this technology?
Most components are at TRL5 and we have validated our core system with internal case studies. We are now beginning pilot studies with external partners to reach TRL6.
Will this work for my domain?
The Discovery Engine is domain and modality agnostic, and can be adapted for most use-cases.
Do I need to understand neural networks?
Nope, that’s our job. All you need is data.
Is this ChatGPT?
No. Language models are built for parsing text, not big complex datasets – we use proprietary deep learning and interpretability algorithms.
