Axontologic :: Technology Overview

Axontologic's information extraction technology provides answers to our clients' mission critical questions. Questions like:

"Which drugs can treat Alzheimer's Disease?"
"What caused the failure of the space shuttle Columbia?"
"Which technology companies are buying nanotechnologies?"
"Who are the closest associates of Osama bin Laden?"

The most common tools used to answer these questions today are combinations of a search engine and a human brain. The search engine retrieves a set of documents and then the user spends rest of his or her day reading them.

At Axontologic, we do this a little differently. We go a step further and extract the needed knowledge from the large numbers of unstructured text documents retrieved by a search engine using patented and proprietary software. Our information extraction engine recognizes names, organizations and domain-specific relationships for use in many different industries including pharmaceuticals, national/homeland security, financial services and healthcare.

LaSSI and TIMI

Our patented LaSSI (Latent Semantic Structure Indexing) and TIMI (Text Influenced Molecular Indexing) methodologies were developed to answer the challenging questions of drug discovery and are available in Ai Connect.
