Based on patented, award-winning TEMIS technology, Luxid® is a powerful and scalable content enrichment and knowledge discovery solution. Luxid® gives immediate access to business-critical insights and delivers industry-specific knowledge, powering highly demanding activities such as Market Intelligence, Sentiment Analysis, Scientific Discovery, and Agile Publishing.

“Luxid® 5.2 is designed to meet the growing demand for delivering the benefits of Text Analytics throughout the Enterprise”, said Eric Brégand, CEO of TEMIS. “Luxid® 5.2 can be deployed seamlessly within all Enterprise applications, delivering leading-edge content enrichment, and bring next-generation content discovery tools into the user’s workspace.”

Leading-Edge Content Enrichment

With Luxid®5.2, TEMIS introduces a series of leading-edge features improving the connectivity, coverage and quality of its knowledge extraction.

Luxid® 5.2 enables powerful content networking by linking the extracted information to existing or external knowledge bases, providing highly relevant and contextual insights as well as intuitive navigation.

Luxid® 5.2 also dramatically extends the scope of its knowledge extraction with the new Events Skill Cartridge®, a unique annotator that extracts targeted information pertaining to terrorism, armed conflict, and criminal activities. The Events Skill Cartridge® enables the intelligence community to better monitor and anticipate threats.

Luxid® 5.2 also brings enhanced versions of its acclaimed Skill Cartridges® dedicated to Scientific Discovery. They provide scientists with an extended scope of extracted entities as well as cross-over links between biological, medical and chemical content.

More generally, Luxid® 5.2 introduces a series of advanced semantic capabilities to increase the accuracy and the relevance of the knowledge extraction with contextual resolution of ambiguity and anaphora.

Seamless Deployment and Integration

Luxid® 5.2 delivers pervasive integration capabilities, thanks to its second generation web services featuring enhanced security and scalability. Luxid® 5.2 also provides an extended library of connectors to strategic applications such as Accelrys® Pipeline Pilot for scientific discovery, i2 TextChart for intelligence activities and Endeca® Information Access Platform for semantically-enriched corporate information access.

Luxid® 5.2 easily leverages domain-centric taxonomies and combines them with companies’ internal knowledge to rapidly align content enrichment to the customer’s processes and objectives. Luxid® 5.2 also provides powerful and easy-to-customize information analytics that adapt the knowledge delivery to the users’ communities and uses cases.

With Luxid® 5.2, TEMIS introduces LuxidBar™, a straightforward way to extend the power and benefits of content enrichment all the way to the desktop. LuxidBar™, replacing the previous Luxid® Toolbar, is an easy-to-deploy sidebar that brings to the browser immediate information annotation, highlighting and summarization, as well as contextual content linking.

Finally, Luxid® 5.2 introduces the next-generation Luxid® Knowledge Manager. This unique productivity tool, connecting to the Luxid® Content Enrichment Platform, is the gateway to building, organizing and managing domain knowledge through an easy-to-learn point & click interface.

Next Generation Knowledge Discovery

Luxid® 5.2 also delivers unprecedented analytics to the user through an innovative series of corpus-level tools.

Users can now go beyond the traditional drill-down approach to knowledge discovery. The unique Cross-Match tool “drills across” multiple collections of documents, uncovering relationships and placing each corpus in the context of the others. The Cross-Match tool further establishes a multi-dimensional view of information. Along the same lines, the Combined Queries tool enables users to recognize patterns in content at the document collection level.

Luxid® 5.2 also enables users to leverage document clusters as a starting point for new discoveries by instantly detecting topics of interest with the new clustering characterization feature, automatically describing clusters with their most relevant entities and facts.

Luxid® 5.2 is available now through TEMIS and its network of partners and system integrators.
