Concept Searching Partners with Smartronix

By admin on April 16, 2013 in News, News & Events

Combining Technology and Mission-critical Technical Expertise with Market Leading Software to Solve Information Management Issues for Government and the Commercial Sector

Concept Searching has entered into a partnership agreement with Smartronix, a global leader in delivering innovative, secure, and agile technology solutions.

This arrangement brings together Concept Searching’s expertise in semantic metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy management, and Smartronix experience in the design and implementation of enterprise-class solutions for the public sector, specializing in Federal and the DoD. The partnership also builds on an already successful joint implementation for a federal regulatory body.

Concept Searching’s conceptClassifier for SharePoint is a key technology component as it can be deployed in any version of SharePoint. “With several of our largest clients deploying SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 it was important for us to have a technology platform that seamlessly integrated with the investments our customers have already made,” stated Gaurav Pal, Director of Strategic Programs at Smartronix. “The technology needed to scale to support the large datasets and websites that Smartronix currently manages. It also needed to be ‘cloud ready’ and run in Amazon Web Services (AWS).” Smartronix and Concept Searching currently have two pilot customers running SharePoint and conceptClassifier on AWS.

Concept Searching’s intelligent metadata solutions are ideal for improving search, records management, and text analytics. Many of Smartronix’ customers, especially those in highly regulated and compliance driven markets, have vast amounts of data. Traditional full text search and indexing technologies are great at finding data where the search terms are already defined. However, experience has shown that users request data in terms of concepts and often miss highly relevant and related data when they specify only keywords. Concept Searching’s conceptClassifier product enables Smartronix to include automatic semantic metadata tagging, auto-classification, and taxonomy management technologies in its solutions. When deployed in parallel with enterprise search solutions, the end user gets a more complete and accurate search experience with higher relevancy results.

Consumer Product Safety Commission Deploys Concept Searching

By admin on March 5, 2013 in News, News & Events

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) had a challenge to improve search on their external web site. They have deployed Concept Searching technologies and the external facing website is now being used for the general public to identify product safety issues.

This is a good example of our out-of-the-box interface with no customization.Using the search term ‘coffee makers’ will return only documents with the word coffee and makers, either as single words or meta tagged as a concept (coffee makers) . On the right hand side Products, Hazards, and Content Types are nodes within the taxonomy that were selected to aid in the search criteria. If you refine on Hazards…Burns all the documents that are related to coffee makers and burns are returned. Additional refinement results can be achieved through selection of Content Types…Recalls. You will notice that recalls related to espresso maker, cappuccino makers, and carafe recalls are also included at the end of the results with a lower percentage rating. These were returned because they contained coffee and recalls and were related as additional documents representing the same concept.
