Multilingual text mining

TEMIS (www.temis.com) and Basis Technology (www.basistech.com) have formed a new business alliance to develop mutual technology integration and new multilingual text mining applications for government and commercial markets.

They explain that integration of TEMIS' Insight Discoverer solutions for European languages and Basis Technology's Rosette language analysis system for Asian and Middle Eastern languages will enable users to extract meaningful intelligence from unstructured data. They add that the new multilingual text mining applications will allow organizations to identify, group and classify unstructured documents based on relevancy, similarity and combined statistical and linguistic analysis.

Basis Technology will use its expertise in linguistics products to ensure technical assistance, support, maintenance and further development of TEMIS text mining products for that company's North American customers. The companies plan to collaborate in the future on text mining solutions for vertical markets such as life sciences, financial, legal discovery and CRM. They also expect to develop opportunities in the Japanese market.
