ConceptSearching and Its Busy January 2010

January 14, 2010

Concept Searching (“Retrieval Just Got Smarter”) has had a busy January 2010.

The company made several announcements about its information retrieval software.

First the company inked a deal with Union Square Software to use the Concept Searching technology in Union Square’s Workspace product. The Union Square Workspace is an email, document, and knowledge management product for the construction industry.

Second, the company announced support for Microsoft Windows Server R2’s File Classification Infrastructure. Like other Microsoft centric solutions, Concept Searching provides a snap in that extends the features of the Microsoft product.

Third, the company landed a deal with the Consumer Products Safety Commission to deliver search and classification to the CPSC’s public Web site and for the corporate Intranet.

The company was founded in 2002 with the goal of developing statistical search and classification products that “delivered critical functionality… unavailable in the marketplace.” The company’s software processes text, identifies concepts, and allows unstructured information to be classified via semantic metadata. The company supports SharePoint and other platforms. The company says:

Concept Searching are the only company to offer a full range of statistical information retrieval products based on Compound Term Processing. Our unique technology automatically identifies the word patterns in unstructured text that convey the most meaning and our products use these higher order terms to improve Precision with no loss of Recall. The algorithms adapt to each customer’s content and they work in any language regardless of vocabulary or linguistic style.

The company’s headquarters is in the UK, and the firm’s marketing operations are in McLean, Virginia. If you want more information, you can download a 13 megabyte video from K2 Underground.

Oyez, oyez. A freebie. I shall report this public service to Securities House next time I am in London.
