Interactive Engineering

Here at Interactive Engineering, we spend our days building machines that can read text and build semantic structures, so that they "understand" the text and can make use of the knowledge in it. This isn't Machine Learning as it is currently understood - a few words together can blow away millions of lines of code or learning based on thousands of... trials - by comparison, it is "instant learning", aka human learning We are heavily focused on the development of Orion. If providing services in complex areaswill help us to come to a better understanding of what we are trying to do, we would be glad to help. Greenfields development can take many directions. We can prioritise areas, as long as they don't impact our longterm goals. If you are into machine reading oftext, you had better have a good idea what the word "knowledge" means, and how it should be managed. Large, complex specifications for large, complex things is a good illustration of where humans can become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of detail. Sometimes you don't want to activate the knowledge in a document - just get it right, free of errors and inconsistencies. Orion can help with that too. Here are some ongoing projects. They range from what you might expect, to applications where humans fear to tread. We are working with Sensentia , our US licensee in the Health Insurance space,to improve the delivery of automated knowledge in this area. We are working on providing automated knowledge expansion using an acclaimed dictionary. The system encounters a new word, looks it up and builds the definition into its structure, or finds a new nuance on a word it already knows. The possibilities are either exciting or frightening. This is a long range project we are working on - to break the absurdly low human limit of four pieces of information in play at once, and thus eliminate its effects - one of which is tens of thousands of people killed in hospital each year due to boredom and inattention to detail. You may have a project which seems impossible with ...Read More
