RTD Award: Phase II
Project Title: "Schema mapping for a flexible graphical data mining platform"
Research Partner: Associate Professor Krishnamoorthy Sivakumar, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Washington State University
Phase Began: 2009
ATS, a Silverdale-based provider of intelligent search software and services, is working with Washington State University's School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science to develop data merging algorithms.
WSU will receive $50,000 in Phase II research and technology development funding from Washington Technology Center and $17,500 from ATS for the project titled "Schema mapping for a flexible graphical data mining platform."
ATS and WSU Associate Professor Krishnamoorthy Sivakumar will continue a working collaboration in this Phase II project. The team plans to develop algorithms for recognizing similar or duplicate nodes or objects in a single database, or two related databases, and suitably merging them. These new data mining algorithms will aid in the discovery of information vital to many fields including Homeland Security and law enforcement.
"The power exists to generate, gather, share, and store vast amounts of information. The problem, however, is easily fusing this data so relationships and patterns are revealed and can be explored. A barrier to fusing data in any kind of cost or time effective manner is the issue of schema mapping. Without schema mapping, multiple data sources quickly become a digital version of the Tower of Babel and useless for providing timely information. Schema mapping is currently a time-consuming manual process and many data fusion initiatives have met their end due to the time and costs associated with schema mapping. This project with WSU holds the potential to significantly speed up the mapping process and position the State of Washington as a leader in the deep mining of the Internet and other large data sources."
ATS President David Wachter
"This project will build upon our earlier work on mining data objects represented graphically as nodes and links between them. Similarity between nodes based on their attributes and links to other nodes will be used to identify and combine similar objects."
Associate Professor Krishnamoorthy Sivakumar, Washington State University
"State grants which bring together local companies and research institutions will empower innovative ideas to become practical solutions and drive job creation and business opportunities. I am proud of the Silverdale-based company, ATS, which is a good example of a local company working with a state university."
State Sen. Phil Rockefeller (D-Kitsap County)
RTD Award: Phase I
Project Title: "Graphical Data Mining platform for Social Analysis and Network Discovery"
Research Partner: Associate Professor Krishnamoorthy Sivakumar, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Washington State University
Phase Began: 2008
ATS Intelligent Discovery, a Silverdale-based provider of intelligent search software and services, is working with Associate Professor Krishnamoorthy Sivakumar of Washington State University's School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science to develop a graphical database mining platform for improved data analysis and discovery.
WSU received $43,368 in Phase I Research and Technology Development funding from Washington Technology Center for the project titled "Graphical Data Mining platform for Social Analysis and Network Discovery."
Ten years ago, data storage was expensive, computer processing power was limited and databases were designed to optimize this precious processing and storage resource. Today processing power and costs have improved, but much data is still stored in a format that optimizes processing and storage over analysis and discovery.
In this Phase I project, ATS Intelligent Discovery and Dr. Sivakumar will develop and demonstrate powerful data mining algorithms and applications facilitated by ATS's patent pending REGGAE multidimensional data analysis engine. These new data mining algorithms will aid in the discovery of information vital to many fields including Homeland Security and law enforcement.
"Research innovation and ideas are shaping up to form the cornerstone of our 21st century economy. Public-private partnerships in our high-tech industry will play a big role in driving that economy forward. A great example of this is ATS Intelligent Discovery's work with WSU on its data mining project. I'm pleased that Kitsap County is the home base of this dynamic company."
State Sen. Phil Rockefeller, (D-Kitsap County)
"ATS Intelligent Discovery's ability to secure this grant is testament to the quality of work they're doing. High tech continues to drive our state's economy and it's great to see Silverdale on the edge of this job-producing industry. ATS's success and innovation will draw jobs to our community, and that's good news for everyone."
State Rep. Sherry Appleton (D-Poulsbo)
"Advances in research and development are key to our state's continued economic strength. This award shows how important Kitsap County's businesses are to the state network of research institutions and cutting-edge computer sciences."
State Rep. Christine Rolfes (D-Bainbridge Island)
