Nstein Readies Fall Upgrade for Text-Mining Engine

Posted
By: E&P Staff Montreal-based Nstein Technologies Inc. said it plans the fall release of TME 5, an upgrade to its Text Mining Engine with new features that include Web 3.0 compliance, linguistic enhancements and management tools to allow greater flexibility and control of semantic metadata -- all designed to provide the most relevant content to enhance the user experience.

"More than ever we are finding our clients needing to rapidly innovate, test and deploy new business strategies," Nstein Chief Technology Officer Jean-Michel Texier said in a statement, adding that the upgrade provides "flexibility and control to support any business model and to reap highest premium ad rates possible through the micro-segmentation that TME allows."

The new release is RESTful, respects W3C standards, and is fully Web-3.0-ready to support the Semantic Web. Its new linguistic tools aim at managing metadata, the lifeline to the Semantic Web. TME 5.0 will provide new taxonomies and ship with tens of thousands of persons' names, pre-categorized as politicians, celebrities and athletes.

TME 5 also supports faceted sentiment analysis, which tells an editor not only if an article is positive or negative, but also the tone toward any subject within the story. Because of the vast amounts of metadata that can now be collected and stored, TME 5 also offers administration modules to more easily manage the different components in generating metadata -- documents, authority files, taxonomies and ontologies.

The "core intelligence driver" to Nstein's digital asset management and Web content management solutions, TME parses sentences, identifying and extracting grammatical elements. Its combination of semantic and computational analysis determines the "aboutness" of any document, calculating what Nstein calls a "linguistic DNA" and using that calculation to find closely matched content.
