Cognition Technologies Introduces True Meaning-Based Linguistic Search.Technology Dramatically Improves Precision and Recall of Search Results SANTA MONICA Santa Monica (săn`tə mŏn`ĭkə), city (1990 pop. 86,905), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1886. Tourism and retailing are important, and the city has motion-picture, biotechnology, and software industries. , Calif. -- Cognition cognition Act or process of knowing. Cognition includes every mental process that may be described as an experience of knowing (including perceiving, recognizing, conceiving, and reasoning), as distinguished from an experience of feeling or of willing. Technologies, Inc. today announced the commercial release of CognitionSearch[TM], its evolutionary meaning-based linguistic Search technology. CognitionSearch dramatically increases the Precision and Recall of search results when compared to traditional Search methods and technologies. Based on computational linguistic science, CognitionSearch, a patented technology, has, in essence, "taught" the computer the meaning of virtually all of the words and phrases Words and Phrases® A multivolume set of law books published by West Group containing thousands of judicial definitions of words and phrases, arranged alphabetically, from 1658 to the present. in the common English language English language, member of the West Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Germanic languages). Spoken by about 470 million people throughout the world, English is the official language of about 45 nations. . As a result, CognitionSearch "understands" both the user query and the content of the documents being searched, which enables the software to deliver higher performance in the areas of precision and recall, the two main metrics that are commonly used to evaluate the effectiveness of Search engine technology. Precision refers to a Search engine's ability to return accurate relevant results (e.g. eliminating ambiguity), while Recall describes the breadth of the universe of relevant results (e.g. synonyms). "The most significant and, until now, unsolved problem facing Search technology has been how to increase the precision of Search results without sacrificing recall, and vise versa," said Scott Jarus, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Cognition Technologies. "CognitionSearch solves this problem by 'understanding' what the user is asking, and then returning only those results which are relevant to the query. As an example, CognitionSearch understands the difference between a 'bat' used in baseball and a 'bat' that flies around in a cave. It also understands that the word 'bill' has seven different meanings, which are dependent upon the context of the query or sentence to resolve the word's understanding. CognitionSearch will forever change the way people evaluate the quality of their Search results." Powered by human knowledge and experience and built one word and concept at a time, the underlying technology in CognitionSearch has been in development for more than 20 years. It required more than 300 man-years of effort by a team of renowned computational linguists and computer scientists. CognitionSearch software is initially being offered to enterprise customers in the litigation An action brought in court to enforce a particular right. The act or process of bringing a lawsuit in and of itself; a judicial contest; any dispute. When a person begins a civil lawsuit, the person enters into a process called litigation. support (legal) and life sciences markets. In addition, CognitionSearch is now available for use by the general public through the company's demonstration Website at www.cognitionsearch.com. Website users have the ability to search very detailed and deep content in the areas of health, politics, government and legal. New content will be added to the Website on a regular basis. Background Virtually all of today's popular Search engines use similar, statistically-based "pattern matching 1. pattern matching - A function is defined to take arguments of a particular type, form or value. When applying the function to its actual arguments it is necessary to match the type, form or value of the actual arguments against the formal arguments in some definition. " technology, which lacks real understanding of the meaning of words both in the user query and in the Search results. This lack of word meaning is the cause of great frustration by users who are both overwhelmed by the volume of Search results and disappointed by the lack of relevancy of Search results. In addition, pattern matching Search engines only retrieve content based upon the actual words entered in the query, which creates another hidden problem that most users aren't even aware of - the incomplete retrieval of information from the universe of possible Search results. If a user fails to enter a term which may be synonymous with synonymous with adjective equivalent to, the same as, identical to, similar to, identified with, equal to, tantamount to, interchangeable with, one and the same as what they are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. (e.g. "automobile" as a synonym synonym (sĭn`ənĭm) [Gr.,=having the same name], word having a meaning that is the same as or very similar to the meaning of another word of the same language. Some are alike in some meanings only, as live and dwell. for "car"), any documents which use only that synonym won't be retrieved. In contrast, CognitionSearch, through its use of linguistic and mathematical algorithms, "understands" the meaning of a user's query, including related words, phrases or concepts, and applies that understanding to the available Search universe. This "understanding" results in significantly greater precision, relevancy and completeness of the results.

"CognitionSearch is enabling our doctors and nurses to be more efficient by increasing the relevancy of their Search results and allowing them to find information in the MEDLINE The online medical database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) whose parent is the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.

About Cognition Technologies Cognition Technologies has developed the next evolution in Search technology. The company's patented meaning-based linguistic Search technology, CognitionSearch[TM], dramatically increases the Precision and Recall of search results. Unlike traditional Search technologies, which don't understand the meaning of query terms or results, CognitionSearch, based upon computational linguistic science, has "taught" the computer the meanings of virtually all of the words, phrases and concepts in the common English language. |
