What is HIBU?
The HIBU platform provides a tried and tested toolset for developing customized solutions in which the extraction of content from structured and unstructured data collections plays a central role.
The basis is a state-of-the-art search and analysis platform, where the core components are constantly being refined. These components apply cutting-edge AI technologies such as statistical models and neural networks, but also classic rule-based approaches. This mix enables the HIBU platform to support a wide range of business cases.
Pre-packaged functions speed up your project
What users expect from a search solution
Modern search solutions for documents and other textual data offer at least a full-text search, which finds “risks” if “risk” is entered, and “swam” if “swim” is entered, for example. In addition, you can expect automatic suggestions during search entry, spelling correction and normally also a result preview.
HIBU offers all these functions – for many languages.
Quick findings with search filters
With its diverse and flexible search filters, HIBU allows to find relevant information quickly: users can easily start with a simple search query and then limit the number of hits to the documents of real interest.
Search functions for special use cases
A synonym search finds documents that contain terms with the same meaning. HIBU’s multilingual search function also identifies, for instance, French documents for a German search query. The expert search implements the search for specific metadata (e.g. author or date).
Using HIBU’s personal search history, users can easily re-run recent searches. Personal favourites let users quickly return to results of previous searches. The comparison functionality implements a comparison of search results (documents, products, etc.).
Information extraction from texts
HIBU’s extractors identify relevant information in a text (e.g. all occurrences of persons, organizations, locations, invoice data, etc.). The classifiers assign appropriate categories to a text, i.e., a document’s content type (contract, account statement, invoice, user manual, etc.). HIBU’s topic recognition then summarizes a text’s essential character, for instance, “Annual electricity bill 2019”.
Sentiment analysis automatically recognizes opinions in texts, particularly positive / negative expressions relating to a certain topic or product. In addition, HIBU calculates content similarity between two documents and can determine the N most similar documents for each sample.
Personalized recommendations
Many users are familiar with the feature of web shops and news sites in which the system automatically suggests other products or content (documents, news articles, etc.) that may also be of interest.
HIBU offers solutions from the individual determination of recommendations for relevant products or content down to the automatic compilation of personalized websites.
