Cognition Technologies, Inc. ('Cognition') is a next generation Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) company, based in Culver City, CA. Cognition's Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies add word and phrase meaning and understanding to computer applications, providing a technology and/or end-user with actionable content based upon semantic knowledge. This understanding results in simultaneously much higher precision and recall of salient data within the universe of possible results. Cognition's Semantic NLPTM makes technologies and applications more human-like in their understanding of language, thereby resulting in more robust applications, greater user satisfaction and new capabilities available for exploitation. On the Web in particular, powering applications with Cognition's semantic understanding technology drives these applications ever closer to Web 3.0 (the semantic Web). Cognition - Giving technologies new meaning.TM Cognition's Semantic NLP has been in development for over 23 years by Dr. Kathleen Dahlgren, Cognition's co-founder and CTO, and a team of linguists and computer scientists. Cognition's technology employs a mix of linguistics and mathematical algorithms which has, in effect, taught the computer the meanings of virtually all the words and frequent phrases within the common English language. Semantic Natural Language Processing is superior to common pattern matching that is found in most search engines and text-interaction tools because it focuses on the understanding of word and phrase meanings within context. No other commercially available natural language processing technology comes close to Cognition in its breadth and depth of understanding the English language.
