Bayer CropScience Extends Commitment to Linguamatics Text Mining Platform for Agrochemical Research.* Bayer CropScience to use I2E for information retrieval information retrieval Recovery of information, especially in a database stored in a computer. Two main approaches are matching words in the query against the database index (keyword searching) and traversing the database using hypertext or hypermedia links. and competitor activity monitoring CAMBRIDGE, England -- Linguamatics Ltd, a leader in enterprise text mining for the life science and other markets, today announced that Bayer CropScience has renewed its commitment to use the I2E semantic knowledge-discovery platform to identify trends and activities in the crop protection business. Bayer CropScience has been using I2E since mid-2007, primarily for the analysis of patents and scientific literature. I2E's natural language querying and ability to exploit agro-related thesauri facilitate efficient and focused analysis of large document sets and full-text sources. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. "We are delighted that Bayer CropScience has chosen to extend their commitment to using I2E to find the insights and intelligence they need from their text resources," commented Roger Hale, COO and Co-founder of Linguamatics.

The goal is to enable natural languages, such as English, French, or Japanese, to serve either as the medium through which users interact with computer systems such as (NLP (Natural Language Processing) The capability of understanding human language. If the language is spoken, voice recognition plays an important role in converting the sounds to individual words. Then, natural language processing figures out what the words mean. ) based technology. The versatile interactive information extraction In natural language processing, information extraction (IE) is a type of information retrieval whose goal is to automatically extract structured information, i.e. categorized and contextually and semantically well-defined data from a certain domain, from unstructured system, I2E, helps organizations to do much more than simply cope with vast quantities of information. Its unique combination of search and text mining helps organizations to turn this information into a competitive advantage. From life sciences and healthcare to business intelligence, from media analysis to security, users mine large collections of documents, extracting relevant facts, relationships and quantitative data from content such as scientific papers, news feeds, patents, or internal reports. Linguamatics has a rapidly growing user community with I2E deployed at most top-10 pharma companies. The company was founded in 2001, and is based in Cambridge, UK.
