$24,901.00

Constrained screen device centric information ranking R&D for semantic monitoring & analysis platform

FY 2016-17

Summary
Gnowits platform automatically monitors web sources for mission-critical business intelligence purposes by employing humanlikeartificial intelligence to crawl though, extract and analyze new documents in real-time. Each month, we make over 10 billion webcalls, and from the accessed data generate a live repository of 15 million fully analyzed unique documents.The opportunity for Gnowit is to develop disruptive technologies that can leverage our sophisticated web intelligence, and naturallanguage processing capabilities to provide highly filtered results to clients. This project supports this goal via research oninformation ranking, noise modeling and automated summarization technologies that aim to reduce the volume of documentsdelivered to clients with all available information having been qualified via software semantic-centric means. This project willdeliver demonstrative conversational interface via (a) a mobile device and (b) speech-interface-only prototypes that leverage theinformation summarization and ranking capabilities developed during this project.
