FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) has started to provide medical paper search AI "Amanogawa" on the cloud platform "Microsoft Azure" provided by Microsoft. ..

 

　From May 2020, FRONTEO will use the natural language processing AI engine "KIBIT" as the API for the mail and chat audit system "Communication Meter", the business data analysis support system "Knowledge Probe 5", and the KIBIT engine as APIs. We provide and sell on Microsoft Azure such as "KIBIT – Connect".Following these, in the life science field targeting medical institutions, research / educational institutions, pharmaceutical companies, etc., using the AI ​​engine "Concept Encoder (trademark: concept encoder, reading: concept encoder)" specialized in the life science field. We will also provide and sell products.

 

　Amanogawa is PubMed¹⁾This is a system that detects and analyzes articles related to keywords, hypotheses, and abstracts (article abstracts) entered by the searcher from the articles published in.It has been introduced by pharmaceutical companies and universities because it is highly evaluated for its ability to find the desired treatise in a short time from a huge number of treatises and its high searchability. With the launch on Microsoft Azure, an environment has been created in which more users can use this system smoothly.

■ About Amanogawa　URL:URL: https://lifescience.fronteo.com/aidiscovery/amanogawa/
"Amanogawa (patent pending)" is a treatise search AI system equipped with FRONTEO's original AI engine "Concept Encoder".When a researcher inputs a sentence such as a word or hypothesis of interest, Concept Encoder instantly detects the article related to the input content from the large number of articles published in PubMed.
The search results are plotted in a map according to the similarity between the articles, the relevance can be confirmed at a glance, and the article information detected on the map is dragged to narrow down the search, which is a visual article that has never been seen before. You can search.Search results are listed in descending order of relevance, and abstracts are listed, greatly streamlining the search for treatises.This supports the discovery of events and new drug targets that are difficult for humans to notice.

■ About Communication Meter　URL:https://kibit.fronteo.com/products/communication-meter/
"Communication Meter" is a mail & chat audit system equipped with the natural language processing AI engine "KIBIT" developed by FRONTEO. KIBIT uses a unique algorithm to capture similarities and contexts even in different expressions and extract the features of sentences, eliminating excessive extraction due to a large number of keyword settings and omissions due to notational fluctuations, with high accuracy. Message extraction is possible.In addition, KIBIT comprehensively analyzes the text and attachments (text-extractable) as well as the date and time of transmission / reception, the name of the sender / receiver, and the subject, and it is possible to narrow down the messages that need to be investigated from a large number of messages. Therefore, the work of auditors will be significantly reduced, an efficient audit system will be built, and it will contribute to early detection of fraud and prevention of recurrence.

■ About Concept Encoder　URL:https://lifescience.fronteo.com/technology/conceptencoder/
"Concept Encoder" is a natural language analysis AI (artificial intelligence) developed by FRONTEO specially in the life science field.It was developed in 2018 with the aim of effectively analyzing and utilizing medical data containing a large amount of free-form text data based on evidence. Concept Encoder can be co-analyzed with data other than text, and we are conducting research on co-analysis with numerical data such as gene expression information, vitals, and various test values ​​accumulated in the life science field.Patent registration number: Patent No. 6346367
