Evolve 24

Company Name: Evolve 24
Headquarters: St.Louis
Other offices: Chicago, Illinois.
Areas: NLP, IE/IR, social networks
Website: http://www.evolve24.com

Though I didn't get much time to go through this company's profile but from the JD(for scientist) they have posted on linguist list(JD link here), it seems evolve24 is involved in many wide areas like NLP, IE/IR, ML, Social Network analysis etc.

A quick overview of the site gave an impression that the company is involved in estimating risk, identifying information posted on web and analyzing them.
It would be interesting to see how close their work matches with one of my ideas posted here.

In case you get a chance to know about the work at Evolve24 please let me know.

Textual Analytics

Location: Bangalore
Core Areas: Information Extraction
Website: www.textualanalytics.com

The Bangalore based company is more into IE from webpages and text.
One of their solutions, IntelliExtract, claims to extract named entities, ideas, concepts, associations and relationships with high precision i.e converting the unstructured text into structured data. They also claim to be able to do this for various file types.
Removing of unwanted text (advertisements, banners etc) is one variant and the other is named entity identification.

InfoProfiler, another solution from the company, is centered around extracting important information and presenting it in way that is easy to understand.
Some of the features of InfoProfiler match with that of IntelliExtract.

More information can be found at the company website.
