Correlation Technology Business Solutions: Automated News Analysis

Two new, never-seen-before automated services powered by Correlation Technology are examined in this dossier. Discover how the automated local impact discovery service enables news media providers to automatically identify where an international, national or regional news event has significant impact in their specific local media markets. In addition, advertisers, law enforcement, political entities and companies will quickly realize the local impact discovery service to be a powerful tool for use in their own domains. The automated news analysis service delivers expert prediction and commentary on news events directly to Teleprompters, allowing any reporter or anchorperson to speak with the authority of a field expert.

Correlation Technology: Current Initiatives

A number of uses for Correlation Technology have already been identified. This document lists those uses already being pursued by Make Sence, Inc. with interested parties around the world. We also identify general areas of expertise which we know represent rich opportunities for Correlation Technology solutions.

For Investors and Prospective CEOs

FAQ: What a Prospective CEO Needs to Know [NEW]

Prospective CEOs and investors should read this document. There are a great many "domains" which can be empowered by Correlation Technology to create a unique value proposition. We have created a simple FAQ document that briefly explains our decision to "spin-out" separate companies for each domain, and describes our approach to selection of a CEO for any domain spin-out company. We also list our expectations for prospective CEOs during each phase of commercialization of a domain, and discuss our standards for pay and performance. Finally, we discuss the exit strategy options for a domain spin-out company.

Software Architecture of the Correlation Technology Platform [Image][NEW]

This diagram illustrates the software architecture of the Correlation Technology Platform, and how layers of market-sector-specific, customer-specific, and user-specific software are constructed on the CTP.

Essays, Technical Presentations & Work Forms

Essay: Comparison of Semantic Solutions to Correlation Technology Solutions [NEW]

When enterprise or government face difficult, critical problems - intractable problems that simply must be dealt with - the solutions that are constructed in response to these problems are often non-optimal. Correlation Technology solutions can succeed where Massive Semantic Infrastructure, Subjective Statistical, or Brute Force solutions fail. This first of three essays compares Massive Semantic Infrastructure solutions to Correlation Technology solutions.

Application Configuration Estimator Form

The Correlation Technology Platform is able to handle corpora of almost unlimited size.
To accommodate large corpora, the CTP is implemented using a hardware architecture which is in some ways similar to a "grid" computing configuration. We use a "Configuration Estimator Form" to determine an initial hardware configuration for each Correlation Technology-based solution. We've posted a copy of the Form which you can download using the link above. We want people to think about their own information. Fill out and submit the Form, so we can talk to you about how Correlation Technology can help you solve the most difficult computing problems you can imagine.

The Knowledge Correlation Search Engine

The N-Dimensional Search Engine [2008]

This 2008 study of the market for Internet Search includes original research by Make Sence, Inc. supporting the finding that in 2008, up to 15% of all queries made to the then leading search engines were in fact N-Dimensional Queries. We also demonstrate that most of those queries were not handled well by existing techniques. In addition, our original research supported the hypothesis that the then current demand and latent demand for Search could be modeled using the same techniques applied to estimation of current and latent demand for transportation, called "induced travel", and projected that an effective means of handling N-Dimensional Queries (such as Correlation Technology) could grow Search traffic by an additional 15% - a market worth millions of dollars.

Technical White Paper: A Knowledge Correlation Search Engine [2008]

For the technically oriented reader, this brief paper describes the technical foundation of the Knowledge Correlation Search Engine - patented by Make Sence, Inc.

Visibility Magazine Article: The Under-served High Value Search Market [2008]

This article, which appeared in Visibility Magazine in June, 2008, discusses the market potential for the Knowledge Correlation Search Engine.


An Enterprise Class Framework for Vertical Market Specialization

    What is Correlation Technology?

  • Synthesis of Search, Information Extraction, and Knowledge Discovery
  • Utilizes a “relaxed” discovery relevance criteria, but works well with all current forms of search
  • Exhaustive extraction of information from resources into unique knowledge fragments stored in schema-free InfoBase
  • Knowledge Discovery is delivered by means of two powerful, patented
    Knowledge CorrelationTM processes:
  • Connect the DotsTM finds all relationships within the data from a specified "origin" term, phrase, concept, or entity to a specified "destination" term, phrase, concept, or entity.
  • Free AssociationTM takes only an "origin" term, phrase, concept, or entity and constructs every connection from that "origin" to any "destination" term, phrase, concept, or entity that can be reached using the "corpus" data.
  • These operations can deliver novel results even without ontologies, taxonomies, lexicons, etc
  • Refinement and Presentation components deliver specialized solutions for any Vertical Market Sector-specific product implementation

    What are the Uses of Correlation Technology?

  • Anti-Money Laundering – model to n-degrees funds transfers among unrelated entities
  • Sarbannes Oxley Compliance – trace transactions through n-dimensional corporate artifacts
  • Bio-Pharma – reveal associations mined from acquisition of untrusted, non-domain specific resources as well as known, trusted corpora
  • Human Resources – ideal fitness for hire and workforce re-engineering implementations
  • Any business problem that currently relies upon brute-force matching, subjective statistical methods or massive semantic infrastructure is a target

    What is the Correlation Technology Platform Business Model?

  • Correlation Concepts is the USA-based research and development subsidiary of Make Sence, Inc., which is leading the world-wide commercialization of Correlation Technology
  • Make Sence, Inc. will form exclusive partnerships, joint ventures, or exclusively license the Correlation Technology Platform to existing players in each vertical market
  • Working with experts from Correlation Concepts (located in Melbourne, Florida), Make Sence partners' domain experts will develop their own proprietary vertical market specific software architecture layer that will function on top of the Correlation Technology Enterprise Platform
  • With the power of Correlation Technology-based services added to their existing capabilities, our partners will acquire marketshare, a sustainable competitive advantage, and new sources of revenue and profits
