Cognition gets funds for Semantic NLP technology
Cognition has completed an institutional and individual financing round totaling $2.7 million. Investors include Draper Associates Tim Draper), Fingerhut Ventures, and a personal investment by the company’s CEO, Scott Jarus.
Cognition Technologies, based in Los Angeles, has developed the revolutionary Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology, which adds word and phrase meaning and understanding to computer applications, enabling them to be more human-like in their processing of information. Cognition’s Semantic Map, the underlying technology developed over the past 23 years, is the largest and most extensive in existence. Applications and technologies which utilize Cognition’s Semantic NLP™ technology are positioned to take full advantage of Web 3.0 (the Semantic Web).
Cognition Technologies has changed the NLP paradigm through its unique and complete combination of a complete semantic map and linguistic elements to optimize semantic understanding: Morphology - The various forms of word, e.g. singular, plural, tense Syntax - The grammatical structure, e.g. verbs, nouns Semantics - Word and sentence meaning, augmented by synonymy and taxonomy Spelling - The various ways words are spelled (or misspelled).
