The Gilbane Group, the IT analyst firm, wrote about Cognition, saying:
Technologies incorporating Cognition’s Semantic Map will be able to provide users with more accurate and complete Search capabilities, the ability to personalize and filter content, and improve the user experience by reducing the amount of irrelevant information presented.

Check out Cognition Technologies’ latest press release announcing more details about what we believe is the world’s largest Semantic Map:
Cognition’s Semantic Map provides software applications with an “understanding” of more than four million semantic contexts (word meanings that create contexts for specific meanings of other related words). It encompasses over 536,000 word senses (word and phrase meanings); 75,000 concept classes (or synonym classes of word meanings); 7,500 nodes in the technology’s ontology or classification scheme; and 506,000 word stems (roots of words) for the English language. This enables applications to have a more accurate and relevant understanding of content and user interaction, and can be deployed in a wide variety of markets, including Search, Web-based advertising and machine translation augmentation, to name just a few.

Cognition Technologies is talked about in Merrill’s latest press release about their product:
“To improve early identification and review of key evidence, version 5.6 also features conceptual search tools, offered via a licensing agreement with Cognition Technologies, Inc. Unlike keyword searches, conceptual searching interprets the meaning of words within the context they are used to help computers “understand” concepts, significantly increasing the precision of the discovery results. “Cognition’s Semantic NLP program is revolutionary in the methodology used to conduct complex searching through algorithms. The semantic natural language search component allows our clients to conduct more meaningful content searches and uncover relevant evidence more quickly.” said Harold Leach, senior vice president of IT for Merrill’s Electronic Discovery Services.”

LOS ANGELES – July 23, 2008 —Cognition Technologies, a next-generation Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) company, announces a quantum improvement in the application of NLP technology with the introduction of Semantic MEDLINE™ – the 18 million article abstract database of complex health information published by the National Library of Medicine. This new free service at www.SemanticMEDLINE.com enables complex health and life science material to be rapidly and efficiently discovered with greater precision and completeness. This marks the first time that users can employ a natural, conversational sentence structure to find the most complex studies within the MEDLINE dataset.

Companies, such as Merrill Lextranet, whose existing technologies and processes interact with vast amounts of complex text-based data are realizing that true semantic natural language processing can give them a competitive edge which translates into an enhanced user experience and increased revenues.
We’re excited to be in a position to help businesses enter the world of Web 3.0!
Cognition’s Semantic NLP Enables Web 3.0 Technologies and Applications
(Los Angeles) May 6, 2008 — Cognition Technologies (www.cognition.com), the creator of Cognition’s Semantic NLPTM, the most advanced and complete semantic natural language processing technology on the market, announced that it has been honored by KMWorldTM Magazine as one of the “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management” for 2008.
Every year since 2000, KMWorld Magazine has researched the marketplace for technologies which enhance, improve and expand the ability for users to derive more value and understanding from their respective knowledge bases.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by KMWorld as one of the 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management because it validates our commitment to bringing the best Semantic Natural Language Processing technology to our customers,” said Scott Jarus, CEO of Cognition Technologies. “Semantic NLP is becoming a major component in content and knowledge management, and is a requirement for those technologies which wish to participate in Web 3.0 — the Semantic Web.”
The underlying technology behind Cognition’s Semantic NLP has been in development for more than 20 years. Leveraging computational linguistic science, Cognition has built a technology which has, in essence, enabled computers to understand the English language. This translates into enhanced capabilities for applications which can then deliver more functionality, a better user experience and new business opportunities.
“We have long held that the true essence of knowledge management is an attitude, a single-minded commitment to improvement. And companies on our list simply must emphasize an abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers. They must also show agile innovation combined with a full understanding of the forces that affect, and will affect, their customers,” said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld Editor-in-Chief.

Cognition’s Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies add word and phrase meaning and understanding to computer applications, providing a technology and/or end-user with actionable content based upon a semantic knowledge of the language. This understanding results in simultaneously much higher precision and recall of salient data within the universe of possible results. Cognition’s Semantic NLPTM makes technologies and applications more human-like in their understanding of language, thereby resulting in more robust applications, greater user satisfaction and new capabilities available for exploitation. On the Web in particular, powering applications with Cognition’s semantic understanding technology drives these applications ever closer to Web 3.0 (the semantic Web).
