ClearForest Scores Highest in Automatic Content Extraction
ClearForest, a provider of text-driven business intelligence solutions, has been recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the US Commerce Department’s Technology Administration, for Arabic language performance in Automatic Content Extraction (ACE).
The ACE program recognizes organizations that make significant advances in automatic content extraction technology, streamlining the processing of source language in text form from three source types: Newswire, broadcast news and newspaper. ClearForest (www.clearforest.com) participated in two primary ACE recognition tasks — Entity Detection and Recognition and Entity Mention Detection. These tasks require software solutions capable of processing language data in documents and then to output, for each document, information about entities, relations and events contained within. Examples of entity types include: Person, Organization, Geo-Political Entity, Location, Facility, Weapon and Vehicle.
Following ACE specifications and guidelines, ClearForest ranked highest in ability to detect entities from within a variety of Arabic documents, distinguish between entity types and then merge selected information into a unified representation for each detected relationship (i.e. cross reference multiple mentions of the same entity from within a single document).
ClearForest’s solutions provide a complete suite of information extraction and analysis tools that enable companies to turn free-text into a valuable source of business intelligence.
• ClearForest Tags: Sophisticated tool set for accurate tagging and categorization of text.
• ClearForest Industry Modules: Deep industry-specific tagging and analytics capabilities to meet market requirements for custom expertise.
• ClearForest Analytics: An analytic system specifically designed for text analysis that adds value to organizations’ existing business intelligence tools.
Examples of unstructured text sources include web-based survey data, news articles or research, as well as other electronic formats such as e-mails, contracts, spreadsheets and warranty claims.
