Getuyg

Getuyg is a company that consults in data analysis and data driven decision-making. Getuyg can consult on all parts of the process, data storage (both software and hardware), data curation and adaptation, data mining, data visualization, data modeling, and data driven decision making. Getuyg works both with open and closed source solutions. In technical jargon, the company has an expertise working with random forests, deep learning, dimensionality reduction, multi-objective optimization, text mining, and GPU computing. The name Getuyg is an old Dutch term used to indicate ‘a miner’s tools’. As there are many similarities in data analysis and traditional mining (even found in the term ‘data mining’) this seemed appropriate.
