Invention Machine Embraces NLP
February 24, 2011
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is not a new science, but it has yet to be perfected. A wealth of corporate and common knowledge lies in unstructured text documents, but most NLP search retrieves piles of seemingly disconnected documents. Users need precise relevant results, but NLP has yet to get there. Goldfire claims to know How Natural Language Processing Can Solve the Knowledge Retrieval Problem. He notes:
“Goldfire’s Natural Language query interface enables the user to put a question in a free text format, which would be the same format as if the question were given to another person. And, once relevant knowledge has been retrieved, Goldfire presents the results in a way that makes their meaning readily apparent. “
Claiming to have found a way for computer-aided knowledge extraction to overcome the natural language obstacles of semantics, syntax, and context, Goldfire marries high-level concept extraction and problem-solving capabilities. Despite such improvements, the problem of how we structure and retrieve information is unlikely to be solved anytime soon.
