Abstract

this paper describes the universal analyst: Eureka-Universe, a framework for Business Analytics and Business Intelligence based on compensatory fuzzy logic (CFL), which solves problems that handle vague, incomplete or, inaccurate information. Eureka-Universe facilitates knowledge discovery (KD), knowledge engineering and, decision analysis and modeling. The architecture of Eureka-Universe mainly includes a project manager, a scientific core, and algebraic and graphical editors for developing KD tasks. The project manager allows to create or modify models of a problem. The scientific core performs the KD tasks through an evolutionary algorithm. The text editor executes KD tasks, and the graphical editor displays and modifies FPs seen as fuzzy trees. Eureka-Universe can perform inference tasks by combining the discovery and evaluation tasks; furthermore, it offers interpretability possibilities by analyzing the FPs seen as fuzzy trees in the graphical editor. The Eureka-Universe architecture is described and validated by realistic study cases. Finally, the paper envisions new features to develop as future work for this framework.
