Linguamatics Enhances Access to Content with Latest Release of Text Mining Platform

I2E 4.1 opens up new opportunities for connecting actionable insights from unstructured data across diverse cloud and enterprise-based content silos

I2E’s new Linked Server functionality facilitates easier access to text mining across different content silos wherever they might be located, whether in-house data or content served from the cloud, including from Linguamatics’ own I2E OnDemand platform. This federated approach will enable faster linking of extracted information from diverse unstructured data sources such as scientific literature, clinical data, patents and in-house information, leading to increased speed to insight.

Amongst other product enhancements, index optimization delivers reductions in index sizes of around 30%, leading to savings in storage costs. This is particularly significant as customers scale up their enterprise text mining operations to deal with the challenges of big data.

“This is an exciting time for Linguamatics”, commented John M Brimacombe, Executive Chairman of Linguamatics. “Our latest release opens up opportunities for our customers to improve their access to big data and further increase their speed to insight, decision making and competitive advantage. Through continual innovation we are responding to a customer base working with demanding, sophisticated unstructured data requirements. Linguamatics is setting the standard in agile, NLP-based text mining.”
