Knowledge Mining Solutions

Harness information hidden in piles of unstructured data

Organizations generate and consume an enormous amount of data on a daily basis. Most of the data is stored in unstructured forms. Documents (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, etc.), images (e.g. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.), Audio and Video are examples of such unstructured data. Had this data been structured, finding what we were looking for would have been easy. But since the format is significantly different from one item to another, it is very difficult to answer any one of the questions below:

What article should I add to my contract given that it's about renting an apartment?
What terminology did the user use to report that incident?
In which document(s) does this term appear?
What year and under which circular did we announce Medical Insurance for all employees?
In which presentation and at which slide did we cover Risk Management?
What was the transcript of that presentation?
In which video(s) does our CEO appear?

By feeding this unstructured set of documents into Azure Cognitive Search, Sharper Software can help you answer the questions above and much more.
