Perilog
- Summary
- NASA’s Ames Research Center offers for license its patented Perilog software, a contextual search method that provides a simple-to-use means of finding and ranking text documents according to their relevance to particular words or phrases. Rather than simply finding documents that contain particular words or phrases, Perilog overcomes the shortcomings of other search methods by discovering contextual associations between words and phrases. Perilog’s ability to automatically identify contextual associations in a document set enables conceptual and semantic search without the need to maintain categorization for the documents. Users are quickly able to identify related topics, even if those topics do not co-occur in the same document and the user has no prior knowledge of the documents.
