Text Mining & Analytics

Finding Relevant Information Without Knowing Exactly What You Are Looking For

Text analysis is the next step in search technology and refers to the process of extracting interesting and non-trivial information and knowledge from unstructured text. ZyLAB’s text analysis differs from traditional search in that, whereas search requires a user to know what he or she is looking for, text analysis attempts to discover information in a pattern that is not known beforehand. This is achieved through the use of advanced techniques such as pattern recognition, natural language processing, machine learning, and so on. By focusing on patterns and characteristics, text analysis can produce better search results and deeper data analysis, thereby providing quick retrieval of information that otherwise would remain hidden.

Text Analysis for high recall and optimum precision

ZyLAB’s text analysis is particularly interesting in areas where users must discover new information, such as criminal investigations, legal discovery, and when performing due diligence investigations. Such investigations require 100% recall because the users cannot afford to miss any relevant information.

ZyLAB’s text analysis technology is balanced with a variety of tools to refine and filter results, rank by relevance, de-dupe hits, find patterns, and prevent users from having to sift through huge volumes of irrelevant information. Our technology leverages various mathematical, statistical, linguistical and pattern-recognition techniques that allow automatic analysis of unstructured information as well as the extraction of high quality and relevant data.

Standard text mining and analytics functions are provided by the ZyLAB Analytics Bundle. Advanced Professional Text Mining is part of the Third Party Bundle that is typically used in connection with the following pre-configured ZyLAB systems: eDiscovery & Production System, Law Enforcement & Investigations System, Enterprise Information Management System, and Communications Intelligence & Security System.
