Attivio Announces Active Intelligence Engine v1.5

Attivio, Inc. announced it has released version 1.5 of its unified information access platform, the Attivio Active Intelligence Engine (AIE). The updated version of AIE has modules for Classification, Sentiment and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), as well as new features including high-availability ingestion and querying, indexing, and security. AIE v1.5's enhanced security model hopes to eliminate the need for an enterprise search engine plus a relational database to manage complex document-level permissioning by storing content, groups and users as separate tables in its Universal Index. The Classification module's purpose is for classifying documents to a set of categories. For example, in the media industry, information could be classified by news categories (local, world, business) or classified ads (community, housing, for sale), etc. The Sentiment module extracts and measures the sentiment or "atitude" of documents as well as the entities within documents. The attitude may be the person's judgment (e.g. 'positive' vs. 'negative') or emotional tone (e.g. 'objective' vs. 'subjective'). The OCR module ingests text from scanned documents and images, including hand-written text. Supported formats include PDF, TIFF, and JPEG. It can also be used to extract tabular data from supported file formats (e.g. tables found in PDFs). http://www.attivio.com
