This piece is from the web site
mounted by the developers. The principal
is a person I have known for thirty years.
The next phase for this product is to get it up on an open site were you
and I can learn to play with it.
We can treat the present class of
search engines as first generation systems.
There were earlier badly limited systems before the advent of Google but
google was the first that actually was seriously useful. That was about fifteen years ago.
As an aside, the advent of google
immediately made me aware of the need to create an online presence to use the
new internet email systems and to locate myself uniquely. I played around with various spelling
variations of my name and came up with several prospective versions. I discovered on googling Arclein that the
only hit was a seventeenth century monk.
That was perfect for my needs.
Today google gave me over 50,000 hits, effectively still mostly related
to my blog and myself.
This is a working second
generation search engine and overcomes the principal difficulty with google and
similar applications. It appears able to
sort out a context driven subset from the internet universe and is in the
process is able to tackle complex queries.
Google is great at short simple queries but retards quickly as
complexity rises.
Hopefully we will see this in
launch mode rather soon.
The Correlation Search Engine
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are you people? How big are you? Where are you located? What is the
company’s history?
Correlation Concepts is a virtual company - the Florida ,
USA-based research, development and sales services arm of Make Sence, Inc.,
which has core personnel based both in the US
While research in the technology has been on-going for more than 15
years, the initial software development was started almost 10 years ago, and
active commercialization of the technology began in 2002.
What is a Correlation? What are N-Dimensional Queries? Is this just a
different type of Search with new algorithms?
N-Dimensional Search supports those queries which are more complex and
less obvious - queries that are closer to "real life human
questions". For example, compare a typical search query, “pizza, Omaha
Correlation Technology and the Correlation Search Engine (CSE) utilize
“correlations” which are massive networks of associated ”knowledge fragments”
to “connect the dots” and establish relationships between terms, phrases,
concepts or topics. The CSE – unlike any
other search engine - works by analyzing the networks of knowledge fragments to
identify the documents that made the most valuable contributions to the network
– because those are the documents most relevant to the query. The CSE – unlike
other search engines – does not use any similarity metric, link analysis,
popularity (e.g.,” everything celebrity”), or binary logic. The CSE – unlike
other search engines – delivers results that mirror the asymmetry that exists
in real world data. When the CSE
connects the dots, the results make intuitive sense: enter "green tea", "life
quality", "metastasize" and the CSE produces results relating to
cancer; enter "cash",
"terrorist", "charities" and the CSE produces results relating to
money-laundering.
Is the CSE a Semantic Web solution?
No. Rather than trying to
translate human expressions into sterile
constructs to provide improved machine comprehension, the CSE extracts
“knowledge fragments” from unstructured
human expression and seeks to use the machine to deliver an automated
approximation of intuitive human
comprehension. Can I test the Correlation Search Engine against the open
Internet?
Yes, but we are limiting tests to several "slices" of the
Internet that we have pre-loaded on to our systems. Is the CSE intended for
general consumer use or is the CSE an Enterprise
Both. We will be launching an
advertising-based Internet Search Engine to provide consumer access to
N-Dimensional Search .Our research shows that N-Dimensional Queries equate to
15-16% of all Search Engine queries - queries which are often unfulfilled and
abandoned today. Metrics indicate that these
queries would be among the most highly valued queries from an advertising
standpoint, so we anticipate both significant consumer surplus as well as
active advertiser participation. The Enterprise Enterprise
Are you selling the Correlation Search Engine directly or through
distributors?
Anyone wishing to explore the uses of the platform for any particular
domain is encouraged to contact us directly"
How many customers do you have? Who are your partners? Is the CSE software ready now?
We are preparing for the first general release of the CSE Enterprise
Beyond direct entry as an N-Dimensional Search Engine provider, we are
working with specific leaders in specialized Vertical Markets such as SOX, AML,
Risk Management, etc.
