BOSTON, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Linguamatics, the leading NLP-based text analytics provider for biomedical applications, today announced the launch of Linguamatics iScite, a breakthrough innovation in scientific search that puts the precision and power of Linguamatics artificial intelligence (AI) technology directly into the hands of scientists, researchers and other knowledge workers. iScite offers a modern, easy-to-use scientific search engine that provides intuitive access to AI-powered searches across key biomedical data sources and delivers insightful answers to search questions.
iScite is designed as a next-generation search experience that empowers non-technical users to conduct their own NLP-based scientific searches to extract data insights. Rather than rely on time- and/or resource-crunched technical experts to create and perform searches, iScite enables users to quickly and independently find precise answers to their high-value questions.
"Traditional search methods are often time-consuming, expensive and ineffective, and the results are imprecise and difficult to sift through," said Jane Reed, head of life science strategy for Linguamatics. "With iScite, users can take advantage of the power of NLP without the traditional complexities. Our patent-pending Answer-Routing Engine interprets users' search terms and guides them to the best possible answers to their questions. Searches are seamless across multiple content sources, and users are quickly pointed to the exact content relevant to their search without having to laboriously read through every word of the source documents."
iScite uses Linguamatics' award-winning technology stack to handle the nuances of language and the variety of ways people express the same information, ensuring searches are comprehensive and accurate. Using advanced NLP relationship and pattern matching, iScite rapidly guides users directly to the relevant insights extracted from cloud-hosted scientific content. Results are presented in a structured, semantically-meaningful way, with options for dynamic filtering and faceting, and multiple collaboration features to allow easier sharing of insights with co-workers and key stakeholders. Behind the scenes Linguamatics uses a powerful blend of NLP and machine learning-based methods to achieve the best precision and recall.
"By empowering end-user scientists and clinicians with an easy-to-use search engine, we are speeding their access to the right knowledge for decision-making to advance the discovery, development and delivery of therapeutics," said Linguamatics Executive Chairman John Brimacombe. "iScite has the potential to revolutionize the search process for the biomedical industry by providing everyone with rapid access to the knowledge they need, while freeing data scientists and informaticians to focus on the most challenging, in-depth search projects. iScite is a breakthrough in scientific research, filling an industry demand for a self-service alternative that delivers deep insights in a single search."
Linguamatics will demonstrate iScite at Bio-IT World 2018 in Boston May 15-17. Visit us at booth #549, or go to our website, http://www.linguamatics.com/iscite, for more information.
