TERAGRAM CATEGORIZER ^TM

Teragram Categorizer and Teragram Taxonomy Manager classify and organize documents and information in an easy and intuitive browsable hierarchical directory for smart search and retrieval.

Information Overload Problem

With the growing use of electronic documents and the rapid increase in the amount of information available online, electronic maintenance of data and real-time searching of relevant documents has assumed significant importance. The traditional method of accessing unstructured documents has become impractical, inefficient and unmanageable. Manual classification of documents is no longer an option; it is slow, expensive, inaccurate and unproductive.

Teragram Categorizer

Teragram Categorizer, in tandem with Teragram Taxonomy Manager, classifies documents and organizes information into categories that fit the structure of your organization. Classifying documents into categories allows for efficient information access. Instead of looking for information blindly in all sources, you are now able to narrow down the information from the relevant categories. Furthermore, you can organize your information into an intuitive hierarchical directory, which encapsulate specific categories into more general categories, thus allowing for greater flexibility.

Teragram Corporation offers two Categorization solutions:

• Teragram Automatic Categorizer for automatically classifying documents.
• Teragram Rule-Based Categorizer for the ultimate precision in categorization.

Teragram combines automatic categorization with a rule-based system that applies a new level of accuracy, simplicity, and flexibility to the task of classifying documents for faster and more intuitive retrieval. Teragram Automatic Categorizer automatically categorizes documents into a hierarchy and Teragram Rule-Based Categorizer allows for perfect categorization using rules from experts. Both systems rely heavily on Teragram Corporation core linguistic Technology consisting of proprietary European and Asian linguistic processing tools.

Teragram Automatic Categorizer

Teragram Automatic Categorizer is the fastest way to get categorization into your organization. It learns automatically how to categorize new documents based on examples of documents already categorized. Using Teragram Corporation extensive linguistic dictionaries covering the general language as well as millions of specialized linguistic dictionaries, concepts and grammars, Teragram Automatic Categorizer automatically extracts the relevant linguistic features from the documents and associates them with the given categories.

Rule-Based Categorizer

Teragram Rule-Based Categorizer allows for unsurpassed categorization accuracy. Each category within the directory is associated with a set of rules that describe documents within that category. Rules can be stated at the word level and also refer to linguistic features of words. In addition, rules facilitate incremental building and modification of existing categories. In particular, Teragram Corporation provides thousands of predefined categories and rules from which new categories can quickly be de rived.

Complementing Teragram Categorizer software, Teragram Corporation provides:

• Teragram Taxonomy Manager for easy browsing of documents within categories.
• Teragram Categorizer Administration for easy administration of categories and documents.

Teragram Categorizer Administration

Teragram Categorizer Administration software provides all the tools necessary to create, delete, maintain, and modify categories and their associated hierarchical structures for the Rule-Based and Automatic Categorizers. The software is provided either as a Windows application, or as a web-based set of tools or in Java.

Teragram Taxonomy Manager allows your users to browse for information in an intuitive hierarchical directory, which locates specific subcategories as children under more general, or parent, categories. With a simple mouse click, users can explore the hierarchy of categories, or a taxonomy tree, and access the documents within the categories. The user can click on any sub-categories or on any parent nodes in the taxonomy tree.

Teragram Categorizer can be provided as a stand-alone application for Enterprise use as well as a software development toolkits for software development purposes.
