Corticalio

Cortical.io offers Natural Language Understanding solutions based on its brain-inspired Semantic Folding technology.

Cortical.io offers Natural Language Understanding (NLU) solutions based on Semantic Folding, a theory which opens a fundamentally new perspective to handling Big Text Data. Inspired by the latest findings on the way the brain processes information, Cortical.io’s Retina Engine converts language into semantic fingerprints, a numerical representation that captures meaning explicitly and operates on it computationally. The Retina Engine compares the semantic relatedness of any two texts by measuring the overlap of their fingerprints. It can be easily customized for any language, domain or jargon and delivers results quickly, at low costs. The intrinsic difference of Cortical.io’s algorithm makes it possible to solve many open NLU challenges like meaning-based filtering of terabytes of unstructured text data, real-time topic detection in social media or semantic search over millions of documents across languages. Cortical.io was founded in 2011 and holds a broad general license for Numenta’s HTM technology. The company has offices in Vienna, Austria and in the San Francisco Bay area.
