WebFluenz

I came to know about this company from a friend(asking me if I was looking for a change) , who is now
working with Infosys SETLabs.

The work at WebFluenz is quite interesting and I guess many product and service companies can
relate themselves quite well. The idea of bringing in social intelligence is something that seems to
work well. The advent of social networks and the enormous daily/hourly activity is a very big news
source.

Customer relationship, competitor analysis, advertisement planning, trends etc are few things
that they provide. However, it would be an interesting point to see the way WebFluenz uses
semantic search capabilities.

WebFluenz uses NLP, data mining, semantic search algorithms and pattern recognition in
their products. The work on the whole is very interesting and challenging. Working in such
technologies would be an exciting journey.

NetBase Solutions

Company: NetBase Solutions(formerly Accelovation, Inc)
Location: MountainView, CA
URL : http://netbase.com/
Areas: Search, NLP, Semantic Technologies.

NetBase solutions is another company that seems to be working towards semantic technologies and using them in search.
One of the solutions, content-intelligence is something interesting. As far as my understanding, identification and categorization of entities into many classes drives this whole process. It would be more interesting to see how this is completely used in enriching the user experience and cater the user needs.

Another interesting thing about NetBase is their way of using deep linguistic parsing and that too on billions of documents. Deep linguistic parsing is time consuming nevertheless current trends in cloud computing are one solution to the problem.

The semantic search for health is something that could be useful for everyone. (Cause, effect relationship identification is one problem that should be addressed in such cases. And NetBase seems to have done that.)

Isn't that interesting?

NetBase is a technology partnet for Elsevier and the semantic indexing technology powers illumini8.

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.

A9.com

A9.com is into providing product search services on Amazon and many e-commerce websites. A9.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.

Offices: Palo Alto, California and Bangalore, India
Areas of work: Search(product search specifically)


The interface is pleasing enough and A9 is a good platform for searching for products. Especially, the product description section has enough detail about the features of the product.

The interface also features the 'suggest' facility giving us hints of few possible combinations of phrases.
From the job profile provided by A9(Please report if the link is broken), I guess, the company is involved in Information Extraction, Data Mining. And seems they are also trying to use log files(feedback for improvement).
A9 is another company that works in computational linguistics, natural language processing and information retrieval.

The company was formerly MNIS and MNIS- TextWise Labs.

H5 Technologies

I was browsing and found this company that works on providing solutions for IR and document analysis for legal departments and other law firms.

The work is interesting and here is a brief description of the company.

Location: SF, NY
Work: IR and Document Retrieval for law firms and legal departments.

I would personally classify this company as NLP, IE/IR company.
Natural Language Processing /Information Retrieval because document analysis would require a bit of NLP.

The work is interesting because it would reduce a lot of manual effort. Let me know if you come across more information about the nature of work.
