Via Science applies Big Math to solve high-value, complex business problems.Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the company also maintains an advanced data science and technology center in Montréal, Canada. Via Science has over a decade of experience in providing reliable predictive and explanatory software models using its automated analytics platform, REFS™ (Reverse Engineering and Forward Simulation). REFS™ has helped solve a wide range of problems for Fortune 500 companies in both the public and private sectors.REFS™ automates the analysis of big data and has been proven to increase the speed and ease with which accurate mathematical models can be generated. REFS™ has been optimized to run on massively parallel supercomputers (IBM Blue Gene/Q) and other computing infrastructures such as Amazon EC2, while using leading mathematics (Bayesian statistics and networks). Once a model is complete, REFS™ will automatically generate a small software application (in Java or R) that can run on commodity hardware or be integrated into client business intelligence tools to analyze new data (e.g., streaming real-time data feeds) that can discover:When something will occur (predictions)Why something will occur (causal explanations)How to make more or less of something occur (optimization)
