Statistical models provide the robustness to rapidly adapt to new information sources.
Grammar-based approaches provide the meticulous detail necessary for useful information discovery. We have exploited a technique of cascaded local grammars in order to achieve the speed and robustness required. Cymfony has exploited the best of both paradigms by developing a unique, hybrid architecture that leverages both statistical and grammar-based approaches in an optimal manner. Cymfony s Information Discovery Platform is based on a sophisticated and highly innovative engine called InfoXtract. InfoXtract is a scalable, efficient, real time robust engine comprised of pipelined grammatical analysis, statistical, and information extraction modules.
