Our
Public Projects
Power Text Solutions offers a set of "information discovery" tools. You
can get past hit lists; past the tedious and time-consuming labor of
picking out what is relevant about your topic; and past the mental
grunt work of "putting it all together." Instead, you tap directly into
the communal wisdom, as seen by a diverse group of authors, using
objective and informative content text selection.
iResearch Reporter
Our flagship product is iResearch Reporter (iRR).
It's not a search engine. Instead, it front-ends user queries to
Google, Yahoo, or any other custom-defined information retrieval
system. iRR relays search queries and retrieves full text of a
batch of the most relevant documents, say the top 50 or 100. It goes to
work and produces easily-readable, organized, and summarized prose text
reports focusing on the most important conceptual, topical and proper
name items covered in the set of documents.
The reports are compiled from the retrieved multi-document sets:
• iRR accepts "no-brainer" simple
natural-language queries... Needs no logical connectors, commands,
syntax, etc.
• Analyzes full text of the entire
set of retrieved documents.
• Identifies important topics,
extracts high-value sentences, and clusters them with other like-topic
text extracts. The topics are identified or clustered under a
descriptive sentence or phrase identifying the subject for that area.
• It really reads like near-human
prose.
iResearch Reporter basically analyzes a set of documents relevant to
your query, and automatically builds you a report of "Here's what's
really important about your question." This is an incredible time-saver
at the beginning of a research project!
· A fact-filled summary report, not a list of 50 or 100
documents which may be relevant;
· No tedious examination of every one of a huge list of
hits, looking for relevant items, just to begin getting a comprehensive
look at the topic;
· Instead, an organized, easily readable, concise,
accurate and objective report in prose text format, with full embedded
linking to every source used.
· Links provide instant access to source documents for
verification, evaluation, quality assessment, credibility, etc.
· Not much of a chance of missing something important - 1)
using the links to relevant source documents, and, 2) the usual
research trail of links or citations from the source documents.
Adviser Work Modes
AdviseMeNowPlease online
service demonstrates
the iRR-like system customization for presenting information on a
requested
topic under a specific
angle:
Risks & Solutions
(recommendations and advices);
Advantages &
Disadvantages (quality assessment, e.g. of a product);
Competitive Features
Breakdown (identify the competitors and get a comparative
review, e.g.
of a product).
Advanced Cumulated
Demo
This one can be found at http://iresearch-reporter.com/demo.
Provides
access to a variety of implementations of
this technology, i.e. Current News summarization (without a query) and
user query-biased
summaries, including applying special viewpoints (like in the
system
mentioned above). This system analyzes larger sets of documents
delivered by
different search engines, online forums,
databases or custom documents collections (even located on a user's
hard drive).
NewsFeed Researcher
NewsFeed
Researcher
(NFR) is an
innovative information portal with an automatic coverage
of current news
in the form of topics overviews. This is achieved by way of processing
collections of numerous news stories initially clustered by the Google
News.
Continuously updated are the overviews
of major
events in Business, Technology,
U.S., World,
Sports
and Entertainment.
NFR multi-document summarization engine is also available in the on-demand
mode
allowing a user to build a summary on any selected topic.
The most impressive discovery when analyzing the users' feedback to NFR
is that nobody actually
perceives its automatic overviews of the major news topics as having no
human person behind them - readers use to polemicist or support the
"authors" viewpoints without paying attention to the "artificial"
nature of the compiled overviews.
Custom Solutions For
Information Professionals
Our approach potentially creates a new user experience for
virtually any category of information seekers, i.e. students,
researchers, analysts, journalists, general public.
For professional users we offer customized post-processing
of their information resources - ranking of documents
relevant to a user's query, identifying most informative fragments,
summarizing individual documents and compiling a multi-document
overviews on a subject. This represents a fast and easy way to do
in-depth research on your subject(s) of
interest.
Customization
allows to tailor the system for specific professional areas.
Just one example is the Homeland
Security Reporter system which presents 8 distinct work
modes (view
screen shot). These modes can be used with 16 major homeland
security aspects, e.g. potential hazards (natural, technological,
health hazards) and threats (terrorist, extremism, law enforcement,
etc.).
