We call this platform our ‘Anticipatory Computing Engine’, and it has three unique capabilities designed to facilitate conversational interactions:
- Real-Time, Multi-Party Conversation Analysis: Our platform is designed to analyze and understand multiple concurrent streams of conversational dialogue in real-time. It continuously analyses audio signals and attempts to understand their underlying meaning. Based on this understanding, it not only attempts to identify key concepts and topics related to your conversation, but it also uses language structure and analysis to infer what types of information you may find most useful.
- Continuous, Predictive Modeling: Our platform observes conversations over time and generates a model to represent the meaning of each conversation. This model changes from second-to-second as the conversation evolves. This model is then extrapolated to predict the topics, concepts and related information that may be relevant in the future. In essence, this platform analyzes and understands the past ten minutes of a conversation in order to predict what may be relevant in the next ten seconds.
- Proactive Information Discovery: Our platform does not wait for a user to explicitly ask for information. Instead, it uses its underlying predictive model to identify information that is most likely to be relevant at every point in time. It then proactively finds and retrieves this information – from across the web or from a user’s social graph – and delivers this information to the user, in some cases before they even request it.
