Applied AI
AI grounded in how the system works.
Physical and biological data arise from systems governed by mechanisms, constraints, and measurement conditions. Those relationships can contain valuable information that a purely empirical model may miss.
Pinnaculum combines first-principles understanding with signal processing, statistics, and machine learning. The approach can support models that are more interpretable, testable, and relevant to their intended use.
Define the physics, physiology, measurements, and practical constraints.
Identify signals, features, relationships, and model structures.
Select mechanistic, statistical, machine-learning, or hybrid methods.
Evaluate performance against meaningful reference standards and use conditions.
