Meta Logos Systems
A sole proprietorship founded in 1997 by Stephen Winters-Hilt
Specializing in Machine Learning, Signal Analysis, Financial Analytics, and Bioinformatics.
Expertise:
- MACHINE LEARNING BASED SIGNAL PROCESSING. Expertise covers entire signal processing pipeline, from raw data (with possible undiscovered signal or without reliable signal acquisition, etc.), to signal feature extraction using a variety of methods, including advanced HMM-based methods (same as used in voice recognition and gene prediction) to highly tuned classification methods that are SVM-based with Deep Learning neural-net based as needed for large feature set data. A book on this was recently published (Summer 2019). An older book (a graduate-level reference text) was published in 2011.
- INFORMATION THEORY BASED DATA ANALYTICS. (Book on related material to publish late 2019.)
- BIOPHYSICS/BIOCHEMISTRY FOR PROTEIN-CHANNEL BIOSENSOR DEVELOPMENT. A book on this was recently published (Summer 2019).
- BIOINFORMATICS: COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS AND TRANSCRIPTOMICS. Advanced techniques for gene structure identification and identification of transcriptome co-regulation (miRNA haplotype biomarkers, etc.).
