New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/27/2006 -- Inductis, a Management Consulting and Analytical Services firm has bagged the first place in the 17th European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML) and the 10th European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (PKDD).

This year's competition was about building a personalized spam email filtering algorithm. As web mail users across the world fight spam through reading messages and then discarding spam from their mailboxes whereas others spend additional time to label their received spam messages for training local spam filters running on their desktop machines. It becomes extremely important to combat the wastage of time, resource and server space, both for the users as well as email service providers.

The Inductis Team led by Mr. Lalit Wangikar, Vice President – India and Mr. Yogesh Kumar Sharma, Director – Analytics Services comprised of Kushagra Gupta, Vikrant Chaudhary, Nikhil Marwah, Chirag Taneja, Mansi Khanna, Ankush Talwar and Ashish Garg built the award winning solution that captured 95% of the spam email accurately.

The data mining challenge problem was to identify spam mails in different user inboxes on the basis of previously tagged emails from a public database. For this purpose, Inductis had to construct a spam filter for each single user that correctly classifies any incoming email as "Spam or Non-Spam".

"We built content based feature probabilistic models instead of multivariate techniques. This helped us in factoring in distributional changes in multiple user mail inboxes," said Kushagra Gupta, Modeler for Inductis and a participant in the competition.
The conference sponsored by Google, Humboldt University - a leading research institution and the Journal of Machine Learning - an international research publication in the area of data mining is scheduled to take place from September 18-22, 2006.

"This is our second major achievement in a span of two months, after an award in the competition at PAKDD, Singapore. This is great validation of our ability to deliver world class analytical solutions across multiple domains", says Mr. Lalit Wangikar, Vice President, India

Inductis bagged the first rank in one of the two problems posed during the competition. The award will be presented to the Inductis team at the conference to be held in Berlin in September.

The business problem was to identify customers who are likely to switch to 3G network using existing customer usage and demographic data for an Asian telco operator which has successfully launched a third generation (3G) mobile telecommunications network.

The 10th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2006) is a leading international conference in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery. A part of the conference was a data mining competition, co-organized by the Singapore Institute of Statistics (SIS) and the Pattern Recognition & Machine Intelligence Association (PREMIA) of Singapore and sponsored by SAS Singapore.

"This victory reflects the strength and robustness of our methodology. We worked on a challenging problem in a new industry in a new geography and developed a winning solution. The award corroborates the fact that we have some of the best Intellectual property around modeling to apply to a wide variety of business problems", says Mr. Lalit Wangikar, Vice President – India Operations.

"The problem was very interesting. We had to treat it as a look-alike of customer level conversion model as the data was static. Moreover, the fact that the score cut-offs and validation measures were based solely on our judgment, made it even more challenging. It was a great mix of data mining, analytics, statistical modeling for all of us as a team", says Sutirtha Ghosh, Modeler, Inductis and a participant in the competition.

The Inductis team headed by Dr. Martin Ahrens, Vice President - Methodology & Quality Assurance and Mr. Lalit Wangikar, Vice President – India Operations bagged the first runners up position amongst stiff competition from International universities and other data analytics corporates. The National Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, Nanjing University won the Grand Champion title in the open category.
