Text analytics for life sciences

TEMIS has launched its first industry-specific edition of Luxid, the company's new information intelligence software.

The company explains that Luxid for Life Sciences has been structured into three stackable software applications:

Annotation Factory performs the extraction of high-value information from text. Its deep understanding of all major languages powers the ability to reliably identify entities and relationships. Luxid natively embeds four exclusive life sciences annotators, based on TEMIS Skill Cartridge technology.

Information Mart is described as an easy-to-administrate platform that federates heterogeneous sources and enriches the harvested documents, using Annotation Factory in order to build a knowledgebase.

Information Analytics is a Web-based and feature-rich portal enabling information discovery on top of Information Mart. Its innovative User Interface provides access to advanced search and filtering, document navigation, time analysis, cross-tab views, information mapping and clustering. The Knowledge Browser turns any document set into a navigable knowledge graph, displaying extracted entities semantic relationships. Information Analytics also offers multiple-view dashboards through user-defined and shared centers of interest.

Luxid for Life Sciences was designed from the ground up on UIMA (the new standard applicative framework for unstructured analytics created by IBM). The platform is also integrated with IBM OmniFind Enterprise Search.
