Briefs

February 22nd, 2006, Cambridge, UK. Linguamatics, a leading player in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its use in text search and mining, announced today that Hoffmann-La Roche is to pilot the Linguamatics I2E text mining software for molecular genomics research.

I2E will be deployed to help with a wide range of knowledge discovery tasks at the Roche Center for Medical Genomics in Basel, Switzerland. The technology enables the discovery of key information from large collections of text documents that would be impossible or prohibitively time-consuming to find using conventional methods. The system's powerful linguistic capabilities can be used interactively to extract relevant facts and relationships from unstructured text documents and present them to the user in a structured form. No financial details of the deal were disclosed.
