Natural Language Processing (NLP) Breakthrough for Patent Analysis

Submitted by Pamela Schaepe on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 9:03am

 

Patent defense research is a thorny domain for search engines because of the convoluted sentence structure of patent claims and the use of language that is deliberately obtuse.  Arity has developed new NLP techniques for cracking the veiled references through parsing and inference strategies, and then generating a first draft representation of the search criteria – a rich multi-dimensional query matrix – that locates good matches to the sought-after cohort of ideas.  Stay tuned.  A major product announcement will be made shortly.

Research, Reasoning, Results!

Research

From the earliest age, everyone is an investigator. Each of us learns a variety of methods to facilitate our research.

First, we learn to value asking the right questions, particularly open questions. One question leads to the next as we deepen our understanding. And, as Socrates taught, a line of questioning for one topic can be adapted and applied to additional topics. Read more »

Sharing Data Leads to Progress

A few weeks ago the New York Times published an article entitled "Sharing of Data Leads to Progress on Alzheimers" (by Gina Kolata).  It states, "The key to the Alzheimer's project was an agreement as ambitious as its goal:  not just to raise money, not just to do research on a vast scale, but also to share all the data, making every single finding public immediately, available to anyone with a computer anywhere in the world."  Other disease research advocates are joining the call to commit to pool research so that answers come sooner rather than later.

Arity's EXPRESSway product can leap that process forward.  This is a collaborative environment where strategies and results are shared, expertise pooled, scientific literature analyzed, linked data connected, and provenance of ideas tracked.  We're working on a template for a Parkinson's Disease Notebook.  If you are interested in disease research advocacy, send us a note.  Let's talk.

Judgments Made from Incremental Evidence

Submitted by Peter Gabel on Wed, 08/04/2010 - 8:00pm

Often a requirement exists to form a judgment based on available evidence that may be incomplete or expressed in the form of (subjective) probabilities. The ability to draw a tentative conclusion on the basis of incrementally acquired information is sometimes deceptively difficult. Read more »

I have created two diagrams that deconstruct some of the ways that EXPRESSway aids the thinking process. These diagrams provide a connection between cognitive benefits and features.   Read more »

Toward the Knowledge-Enabled Enterprise

Submitted by Pamela Schaepe on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 10:22am

There are two things about the field of Knowledge Management that make me crazy.  Now that I think of it there is really only one thing that gets to me - it just takes many forms -- and that is:  Virtually anything can be called knowledge management. Read more »
