jKarma - Pattern-based Change Detection, made easy

jKarma allows the modular definition and easy execution of Pattern-Based Change Detection (PBCD) algorithms on evolving data with reduced implementation efforts. It is completely independent from third parties data sources and analytics frameworks. Every PBCD algorithm built with jKarma is:

Symbolic

Changes are sought by monitoring a symbolic model (relational patterns) learned from data.

Unsupervised

Changing data are discriminated from ordinary ones without the need of a training phase on finely tuned datasets

Non-parametric

Changes are sought without making any prior assumption on the data distribution.

Explainable

PBCDs decide about the presence of a change, also by explaining them with descriptive pattern-based models.
