How to Read 14,000 Documents in an Hour

GeoLocator™ 2.1 delivers better geotagging performance

 

BRENTWOOD, Tennessee - Feb. 5, 2008 – Digital Reasoning® Systems, Inc., the software innovator, today announced the recent release of GeoLocator™, version 2.1.

GeoLocator is a precision-based tool that extracts populated places from unstructured text (i.e emails, instant messages, and other documents) and returns the extracted locations with their respective geo-coordinates.

"With the release of GeoLocator™ v2.1 we are taking the lead in creating a flexible, scalable, and reliable geotagging solution for government and commercial users", said Tim Estes, CEO of Digital Reasoning Systems.

 

With a twenty-fold performance increase over previous versions, GeoLocator™ 2.1 can process over 14,000 text files every hour, with each text file averaging around seven kilobytes each. That is the equivalent of reading War and Peace, which is almost 1500 pages long, 33 times in an hour. In fact, if you were to print all of those text files on standard, letter-size paper and set them side-by-side you could cover almost 35 acres.

 

The following are just a few of the features and enhancements within GeoLocator™ 2.1:

• Better performance ( at least a 20x improvement over previous versions)

• User-defined custom gazetteer

• Supports Microsoft Word (DOC) and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents as well as text files

• Recognizes existing in-line coordinates that can optionally be used for a given location

• Multiple interfaces, to include both a command line and GUI interface

• Export function that can target XML, KML or any custom format

• Web Service and Java API Interfaces

• Better Reporting

 

"GeoLocator™ represents a great step in bringing spatial intelligence to a broad audience", said Estes. "We've made it very simple for users to add their own locations to fit their particular needs without costly retraining or customization", he added.

 

GeoLocator™ is a scalable service implemented purely as software - giving enterprises the flexibility to fit us into Service Oriented Architectures using the hardware and platforms of their choice. Finally, GeoLocator™ provides reliable and consistent results with high performance - it just works. "We believe that simplicity, flexibility, and performance make GeoLocator™ stand out from the pack and provide better value in total cost of ownership", said Estes. 

 

GeoLocator™ 2.1 builds upon the previous success of the same powerful geotagging tools that were built for and are currently used by various US military organizations and intelligence agencies.

 

GeoLocator™ is easy to use, works out-of-the-box, and is available at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions.

About Digital Reasoning®

Digital Reasoning® Systems provides powerful software that delves deep into your unstructured data. To our customers, that means quicker analysis, more meaningful results, and much more time to focus on critical tasks rather than reading through thousands of documents.

 

Founded in 2000, Digital Reasoning® Systems is a privately held company based in Brentwood, Tennessee (in the Greater Nashville region).

 

Born out of the belief that some day all software would learn, the company spent the first five years of its existence conducting extensive research into the nature and types of machine-learning systems, their inherent limitations and their potential application to difficult problems such as natural language processing and unstructured data analytics (UDA).

 

It was during the initial research phase that founder Tim Estes created the concepts behind Digital Reasoning®, which is the company’s patented breakthrough in machine-learning and natural language processing.

 

Digital Reasoning® Systems provides UDA solutions that enable organizations to reduce costs as well as increase revenue and customer satisfaction by mining and analyzing the over 80% of data that is unstructured and currently untapped, providing our customers with freedom from uncertainty.

 

Digital Reasoning® Systems is intent on becoming the leader in the UDA market with best-of-breed solutions and unwavering customer focus.
