Prof. Alfred Ultsch

Alfred Ultsch is a university professor of artificial intelligence at the University of Marburg and head of the Databionics research group. Databionics means the transfer of data processing techniques from nature to computers. The cooperation of ants, bees, and other swarms produces emergent structures with novel and unforeseen properties. The algorithms, motivated by nature, create new and useful knowledge from data. We have methods that enable the datum to process itself. Successful applications of the methods are in medicine, meteorology, biology, pharmacy, stock prediction and customer relation management. Present applications are differential expressed genes and flow cytometry.
