What Did You Mean?

by Jonathan VorceJV - Wilderness

As humans we hear all sorts of statements. We remember ideas expressed in the statements, not necessarily the exact wording of the statement. Take the following statements for instance:

  • I swam for two hours.
  • My swim lasted for two hours.
  • It took me two hours to do my swim.

The meaning behind these three statements is fundamentally the same. Read more…

Beginning with Endings

by Katie SuessKatie, Thumbnail

The English language possesses a rich set of endings that enable us to turn nouns into adjectives, adjectives into nouns, adjectives into adverbs, etc.   Take for example the noun anger.  If you add the ending –y, it becomes angry, an adjective.  If you then add the ending –ly, it becomes angrily, an adverb.

A Computer that Speaks Your Language

by Jonathan VorceJV - Wilderness

How do you give a computer instructions to do something?
One way is to write a program that the computer can understand – a program that details out what your instructions are.  That requires that you know computer programming, though.  Plus you have to figure out the right way to program your instructions.  But what if things were reversed a bit?  What if the computer could speak your language, rather than forcing you to speak its language?  Suddenly things aren’t nearly so complicated.

Going Further with ‘What Does This Mean?’

by Tim MargheimBlogger_Tim_SM

Natural Language Parsing involves training a computer to determine, “What does this sentence mean?”  That includes determining the sense of each word.  However, if you want a system to be able to answer questions or draw conclusions, you must go further.  The system must also be able to answer, “What does this imply?” Read more…

The Ins and Outs of Prepositions

By Jennifer Seale

Prepositions play a very fundamental and complex role in the English language. A single preposition can have thirty or more different meanings. Context provides the information needed for someone to discern which of those meanings is intended.

Neuric creates software that discerns the unique context in which a preposition is used and chooses the correct meaning of that preposition. In this blog entry alone, only one sentence does not make use of at least one preposition. Without the ability to discern the correct meaning of prepositions, it would be impossible to comprehend a great deal of the English language. Read more…

Cyber Security

Blogger_Thomas_SMby Thomas A. Visel

We are some months into a partnership with XIT Networks dealing with the matter of Cyber Security.  We are using Neuric’s Brain as a backend process to do sense-making of Internet recon and attack events.  XIT equipment discovers network events, forwarding them to the brain, quite like external sensory neurons.  The brain does sense making from the detail, alerting the operator to the big-picture situation and recommending the remediation or interdiction.  Each brain is estimated to have the capability to replace 20-30 operators who are otherwise occupied with menu drill-down point-and-click operations to perform manual sense-making.

All Parts are Not Created Equal

Blogger_Josh_SM

by Joshua Cheatham

In our ongoing work to perfect the Brain’s understanding of ontology, we’ve delved into the nature of parts.  We’ve explored the following questions:  What is a part?  How can we classify parts?  Are all parts created equal?

Now for you and I this may seem self-evident; a part is a subdivision of a larger, complete entity.  Parts are parts.  But there’s actually more to it than that.  For example, if part of me is my arm and I am part of the soccer team does it make sense to say that my arm is part of the soccer team?  Read more…
