China Research Laboratory

With Advanced Chinese Text Mining Technology

     While enterprises are overwhelmed by an avalanche of information, customers still complain that the right intelligence, which is critical to their businesses, is scarce. Where is solution?

What does it do?
IBM China Research Laboratory has developed a series of Chinese text mining components called Chinese Knowledge Management (CKM).

What’s New?
CKM includes a set of state-of-art text mining tools that is the first one in the Chinese information-processing market, including:

• Chinese Linguistic Search
• File Automatic Categorization
• Dynamic Summary Generation
• Text Clustering
• Topic Detection & Tracking

Customer Usability

• News agencies can use CKM to automate their production processes. Many CKM components reach or exceed the performance of human knowledge workers while having much superior responsiveness.
• CKM also allows the enterprise to build its intelligence portal to provide daily intelligence related to their business with very low maintenance costs.
• CKM enables users to search and manage information more effectively and easily

Customer Reference

• In 2001, CKM V1 was shipped to several business partners in GCG (Great China Group)
• In 2002, CKM V2 was delivered to xinhuanet.com, the news portal of Xinhua News Agency.

Technical Advantages

• CKM exploits many machine learning techniques to solve categorization and clustering problems. Compared to other solutions using manually built rules, CKM requires less skill to adapt it in various domains and can be more objective.
• The performance of CKM is able to quickly handle large volumes of data
• Combined with CKM are CRL’s other products and solutions built from years of Chinese language research, including high-speed and high-accuracy linguistic processing algorithm and dictionary resources

Customer Benefits

• Searching and managing information more effectively and easily
• Obtaining intelligence information with affordable cost
• Improving enterprise productivity

IBM Benefits

• Enabling IBM Content Manager (CM) to support Chinese
• Expanding the market for CM in China
