When Franklin-based Digital Reasoning was asked if they could build a tool to help Thorn — an organization founded by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore — find and save children who may be victims of sex trafficking or exploitation, Rob Metcalf, Digital Reasoning's president and COO, was happy to give it a try.
"It's not something we've done before," Metcalf said of what the organization was asking, but it "seemed like a good fit."
"As a business guy, I’m inclined to say, 'let’s figure it out,' ” Metcalf said.
To be agile in today’s distributed, dynamic, and disrupted business environment requires full situational awareness of risk. However, most financial organizations manage islands of data and fail to see the interconnections of risk across these data sources. What might seem trivial by itself actually acts as part of an interconnected web of risk that in aggregate can be very significant and troubling.
Learn how financial institutions are now leveraging advanced analytics and unstructured data (Big Data) to help them achieve a comprehensive and cohesive situational awareness strategy, while significantly reducing their operational costs and their reputational and regulatory risks.

So what's a smart machine? As a computing model designed to analyze growing volumes of unstructured data, including video, images, and human language, a smart machine, or cognitive computing system, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to "sense, predict, infer and, in some ways, think," according to IBM.
In a recent report, "Cool Vendors in Smart Machines, 2014," Gartner named three well known examples of smart machines, including IBM's Watson, Google Now, and Apple's Siri, and predicted the technology will gain wider acceptance this decade. It also spotlighted a few up-and-coming vendors in the genre, including AlchemyAPI, Digital Reasoning, Highspot, Lumiata, and Narrative Science.

In a budget-constrained federal environment, a common mantra is “do more with less.” With Digital Reasoning’s machine-learning platform, Synthesys®, it is now possible to augment analysts by enabling these valuable individuals to quickly analyze troves of data that would normally have taken many thousands of analysts an inordinate amount of time to complete.
Analysts today are often still unable to efficiently mine their poorly structured data (e.g. social media, email communications, instant messaging, etc.) This presents a real analysis challenge for policy and decision makers, as information isn’t transformed to knowledge quickly enough, and when expedited, the information isn’t always as accurate as expected.

What Is HackNashville?
One might describe it, if one were a programmer, as pure awesomeness - a feeling of being one with the Force for 48 hours of pure happiness and joy.
Of course, the only time that feeling is applicable is right after you demo your app for which you sacrificed 2 nights of sleep, personal hygiene, and proper nutrition.
Then you just want to sleep.
Unstructured data — everything from social media posts and sensor data to email, images and web logs — is growing at an unprecedented pace. Here are just a few mind-blowing statistics: Twitter sees about 175 million tweets each day and has more than 465 million accounts. 571 new websites are created every minute of every day. And the world creates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day from unstructured data sources like sensors, social media posts and digital photos. Clearly, unstructured data is growing exponentially, and government is no exception.
It’s been only five years since the global financial crisis of 2008. At the time it seemed like the domino effect of bank failures, the liquidity crisis and the ensuing global recession was enough to bring down even the strongest of financial infrastructures. But as governments around the world took the necessary steps to slow and eventually stop the crisis, banks, regulators and economists were given the opportunity to analyze exactly what went wrong.
Say you work for a large bank that has been embroiled in a crisis or scandal. In the discovery processes of the inevitable lawsuits that follow, investigators and lawyers (and in some cases, the U.S. Senate) find all manner of incriminating emails that the bank's risk and compliance departments did not know existed.
We decided to take our expertise with Salt, Django, and simple user interfaces and craft an easily consumable REST API, and a no-brainer user interface that would allow anyone, with minimal training, to create Stacks of Hosts that would be automatically launched, provisioned, and managed. We felt it should also include administrative features like user groups, permissions, reporting, automated rules, notifications, and lease periods. These features would help alleviate the problem of mistaken termination and leaving instances running while not in use.
The fact that data is doubling every two years mimics one of electronics’ most famous laws: Moore’s law. In 1965 Gordon Moore stated that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubled approximately every two years and he expected the trend to continue “for at least 10 years.” Forty-five years later, Moore’s law still influences many aspects of IT and electronics. As a consequence of Moore’s law, technology is more affordable and the latest innovations help engineers and scientists capture, analyze, and store data at rates faster than ever before.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. October 3, 2013 – Digital Reasoning, a leader in cognitive computing, is pleased to be named by CIO Review to the CR Big Data 20, an annual listing of the 20 most promising technology companies offering Big Data Solutions. This list of companies is selected by a panel of experts and members of CIO Review’s editorial board to recognize and promote technology entrepreneurship.
It is sometimes difficult to remember that the World Wide Web on the Internet made its debut to the general public only about 22 years ago with Tim Berners-Lee’s first post to the alt.hypertext newsgroup. Yet, during that relative short time, it has had a profound impact on the availability of new sources of information, accessibility and flexibility. The Internet and its ability to turn anybody into a publisher has led to a virtual explosion of data (i.e. “Big Data”) that does not lend itself well to traditional analysis and management tools.
Washington, D.C. September 11, 2013 – Digital Reasoning, the company that enables automated understanding of human communication, is pleased to announce that its CEO and founder, Tim Estes, will be speaking today at the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) briefing at the Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector Summit.

Emails, Word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and social media such as instant messaging and news feeds contain millions of facts about entities (people, organizations, and locations). Identifying which entities represent a real-world person, organization or location across millions of documents and merging them to aggregate knowledge about them is a major challenge for enterprises and government agencies.

Synthesys, Digital Reasoning’s machine learning platform that ferrets out meaning in unstructured data at scale, is bringing its smarts to compliance use cases for organizations, such as financial institutions. (See this article for more insight into the technology behind the company’s software.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. July 29, 2013 – Digital Reasoning, the company that enables automated understanding of human communication, today announced the General Availability of Synthesys® v3.7, the latest release of their patented machine learning platform. As a result, organizations can now monitor and analyze email traffic in near real-time to quickly identify risks and suspicious behavior that could present regulatory or reputational risks.
“We worry a lot about how do we make sure we are listening when we should be listening,” said David Reilly, technology infrastructure executive at Bank of America. “It’s all too easy for a large enterprise to focus on the very effective partners we already have, the very large and effective partners who give us great service. But that can make you sometimes tune out a little bit and not go out of your way to listen to a company with a great solution they they haven’t learned how to pitch.”
It wasn’t that long ago when compliance was considered an afterthought by many financial institutions. With the top line being “the priority”, banks haven’t always been able to see the true benefits of compliance, and therefore make the right investments and adopt the right strategies.
With recent compliance-related losses at many leading financial institutions, the associated regulatory penalties, loss of customer confidence and overall reputational exposure, banks are taking a serious look at their compliance programs and rethinking their compliance strategies.
NEW YORK, July 15, 2013 – Digital Reasoning, the company that enables automated understanding of human communications, is using advanced machine learning technology to help financial institutions analyze human generated data to identify risks and anticipate suspicious activity that can have a damaging effect on their business. As a result, financial services firms become more proactive about managing their compliance risks; moving beyond transactional monitoring systems and responding to discovery requests in the context of ongoing investigations.
We’d like to welcome you to our story.
We say it is our story but it really isn’t. It’s a story in which we at Digital Reasoning play a role, but we cannot claim sole authorship.

“It’s like saying, I gave Stacy a pen, therefore she’s a journalist,” said ZestFinance CEO Douglas Merrill at GigaOM’s Structure:Data conference this March. We’re not automatically great decision makers just because we have big data.
Mountains of unstructured data hold some of the most important answers to the critical problems we face today. Unfortunately, because there is so much data, it’s extremely difficult to uncover the most important information. Illuminating this valuable material enables people discover insights, opportunities, and risks that can make a major impact on decisions that need to be made.

Ever been stuck behind someone who barged in front of you, only to then move at a much slower pace and hold everyone up? Perhaps it’s the slowpoke in the overtaking lane, or the old lady who elbows you aside on the subway stairs then shuffles down, one step at a time? Or, perhaps, has your firm ever placed a trade knowing you have the fastest infrastructure, only to get held up by third parties or queues of orders at the execution venue?

The founder of Digital Reasoning, a CIA-backed analyitics company, had a little chat today with more than 700 Big Data practitioners about the feelings behind data. Not about how the data makes people feel, but about how feelings helped generate the data. And what he said should catch the attention of anyone wondering what the future of big data analytics has in store.
Digital Reasoning CEO, Tim Estes, was a guest speaker at GigaOm's Structure: Data event in New York City on March 20-21. The panel discussion, "What Does Collaboration Among Humans and Machines Really Look Like?", explored how machines can augment human thinking and the impacts to the workplace.
