• Researchers at TNO use I2E to create new food safety information service for risk managers

"At TNO we are developing a food safety alerting system to support risk managers in industry and government agencies," said Fred van de Brug, Project Leader at TNO. "TNO possesses unique multidisciplinary expertise and knowledge concerning food safety issues. By combining this knowledge with effective mining of scientific literature and news articles, risk managers can gain early awareness and intelligence about possible risks to food production. TNO chose the I2E text mining platform because of its flexibility and power to increase precision and recall of relevant information."

"Issues related to food safety continue to lead to public concerns worldwide," commented Roger Hale, COO and Co-founder of Linguamatics. "I2E's powerful and scalable natural language processing based text mining enables food technology organizations like TNO to detect signals and exploit knowledge from published information to alert the food industry rapidly and effectively."
