The Heart of Europe Beats to an English Rhythm
July 19, 2012
Sail Labs is one of the world’s leading innovators in language technology and they recently upgraded some of their programming. Keeping their language features up to date is of the utmost importance and one specific language climbed to the top of their list.
English was recognized as the key language for IT, media and communication by Sail Labs. They reside in the heart of Europe but according to “SAIL LABS Technology unveils new English Language Feature,” that heart now beats to a more modernized English rhythm.
The upgrades were made to Sail LAB’s award winning software, which is:
“The Media Mining System provides an integrated platform for decision makers in a diversity of languages: It automatically records, harvests and ingests data from multiple sources such as TV, radio, electronic documents and the Internet (social media, blogs, feeds, web pages) and creates valuable metadata and key information out of it. Subsequently, this output can be used for future search, retrieval, visualization and analysis.”
Now, when Sail LABs thinks in optimum terms, they put a lot of effort into mimicking perfection. Their most recent language model is composed of 20 years of English research. The program has been increased by over 85.000 words and includes current expressions, names of persons and organizations. That may not sound like a lot over twenty years, but the features were designed specifically to provide optimal coverage for modern media.
It may not take long to start hearing some feedback, but one has to wonder if it will be in their new improved English. Guess we will see if the heart of Europe really beats to an English rhythm.
