- Description
- UT-Battelle, LLC, acting under its Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the management and operation of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is seeking a commercialization partner for the Piranha/Raptor text mining technologies. The ORNL Technology Transfer Office will accept licensing applications through January 31, 2014. ORNL's Piranha, Raptor, and DTHSTR text mining technologies solve the challenge most users face: finding a way to sift through large amounts of data that provide accurate and relevant information. This requires software that can quickly filter, relate, and show documents and relationships. Piranha is JavaScript search, analysis, storage, and retrieval software for uncertain, vague, or complex information retrieval from multiple sources such as the Internet. With the Piranha suite, researchers have pioneered an agent approach to text analysis that uses a large number of agents distributed over very large computer clusters. Piranha is faster than conventional software and provides the capability to cluster massive amounts of textual information relatively quickly due to the scalability of the agent architecture. Note: This technology is currently licensed non-exclusively to several companies. Any exclusive license will be field-of-use limited and will preserve the rights already granted under existing non-exclusive licenses. While computers can analyze massive amounts of data, the sheer volume of data makes the most promising approaches impractical. Piranha works on hundreds of raw data formats, and can process data extremely fast, on typical computers. The technology enables advanced textual analysis to be accomplished with unprecedented accuracy on very large and dynamic data. For data already acquired, this design allows discovery of new opportunities or new areas of concern. Piranha has been vetted in the scientific community as well as in a number of real-world applications. The Raptor technology enables Piranha to run on SharePoint and MS SQL servers and can also operate as a filter for Piranha to make processing more efficient for larger volumes of text. The Raptor technology uses a set of documents as seed documents to recommend documents of interest from a large, target set of documents. The computer code provides results that show the recommended documents with the highest similarity to the seed documents. The DTHSTR technology provides a user with a personalized, humanly manageable list of documents from a significantly larger, unmanageable set of documents without the user performing keyword searches. DTHSTR reduces the amount of direct user input (typing, purchases, shopping carts, search terms) and maximizes the use of desired user context (text in documents, text on web pages). Innovatively combining the use of text categorization, extraction, and clustering allows DTHSTR to push relevant information (or tags) to users solely based on the documents shared or provided to the engine. Results are fast, efficient, and targeted to the specific interests of each user regardless of the application domain. DTHSTR can also operate as a filter for the Piranha technology, enabling analysis of even larger volumes of documents.
