Cirilab: Entity Extraction

April 6, 2009

I took a quick look at Cirilab in order to update my files about entity extraction vendors.

Cirilab develops practical search, retrieval and categorization software designed to increase organizational productivity by effectively harnessing key knowledge resources. Cirilab offers a range of advanced analysis and organization applications and tools.

I learned about the company when another consultant sent me links to several online demonstrations of the Cirilab’s technology. I located an older but useful discussion of the Crilab technology here. You can explore a Wikipedia entry about Winston Churchill here and a document navigator of Sir Winston’s writings here. The engine generating these demos is called the KGE or Knowledge Generation. The idea is that KGE can process unstructured text and generate insights into that text.

The company’s enterprise solutions include vertical builds of the KGE:

  • Publishing. The Web Ready Publishing service allows an organization to take unstructured data in WordPerfect, Word, Adobe PDF, HTML, and even Text files, and publish it in a Web Ready Publishing format so that it is instantly available to your customers in a thematically navigable format.
  • Pharma. Cirilab can “read” the documents and therefore allow “mining” of existing data.
  • Legal. KGE permits discovery of information.
  • Security and intelligence. Cirilab products provide unique insights into this information not otherwise available.

The company offers a range of desktop products. These are excellent ways to learn about the features and functions of the Crilab’s KGE system.

More recently, Cirilab has succeeded in developing and bringing to market a core suite of technologies known as KOS (Knowledge Object Suite) based on its Multidimensional Semantic Spatial Indexing Technology.
