Bitext Deep Linguistic Analysis Platform Revolutionizes Multi-Lingual Language Analysis

In Madrid, Spain, the spotlight of US technology journalists does not illuminate the remarkable inventions of one of Europe’s most innovative text analysis and computational linguistics innovators. Bitext has more than doubled in size within the last four months. The reason is that its remarkable technology allows many of the world’s largest companies to make sense of Big Data and text in dozens of languages.

Bitext is a rapidly growing organization which has opened an office in San Francisco to service its expanding customer base in Silicon Valley. The company Bitext has emerged as one of the leaders in deep linguistic analysis.

Beyond Search obtained an exclusive interview with the brilliant computational linguist and computer scientist who invested the Bitext Deep Linguistic Analysis system. Dr. Antonio Valderrabanos explained that Bitext now powers one of the world’s most widely used online systems. He told Beyond Search:

We thought no one followed our technology. One day, this company called me and said that their existing system did not work. Within a couple of weeks, we solved the firm’s language problem. Now we get emails and calls from very large companies. Our technology works and reduces the cost of dealing with many languages. But no one is more surprised than me.

Bitext, one of the world’s leading providers of deep linguistic analysis, ended 2017 with a remarkable series of client engagements. In the span of six months, Bitext—based in Madrid, Spain—entered into license agreements with Audi, Volkswagen, Renault, one of the world’s largest information access companies, and one of the global leader in voice-enabled mobile devices.

In the exclusive interview with Beyond Search, a leading source of information about content processing and text analysis, founder and CEO Dr. Antonio Valderrabanos said:

It may seem that once software can understand human language, not much work is left to do. On the other hand, Bitext thinks that linguistic applications will form a new type of operating system. If we are correct in our thought that language understanding creates a new type of platform, it follows that innovators will build more new things on this foundation. That means that there is no endpoint, just more opportunities to realize new products and services.

The demand for next-generation language processing was stalled for many years. The expensive manual development of word lists and the dependence on statistical analysis mired accuracy in the 60 to 70 percent accuracy swamp. According to Bitext’s benchmarks, the company’s Deep Linguistic Analysis Platform boosts multi-language accuracy to 85 percent or more.

Dr. Valderrabanos said:

Our breakthrough approach enriches text with both language knowledge (phrases and dependencies coming from our parser) and world knowledge, what people call knowledge graphs or event databases. This combination enhances the process of feature generation and feature extraction in today’s AI applications.

Dr. Valderrabanos added:

Search is one thing. Understanding what human utterances mean is another. Bitext’s proprietary technology delivers understanding. Bitext has created an easy to scale and multilingual Deep Linguistic Analysis or DLA platform. Our technology reduces costs and increases user satisfaction in voice applications or customer service applications. I see it as a major breakthrough in the state of the art.

He noted that Bitext complements and meshes with commercial deep learning systems and one-off, customized solutions developed by individual companies. Dr. Valderrabanos stated:

Bitext DLA provides parsing data for text enrichment for a wide range of languages, for informal and formal text and for different verticals to improve the accuracy of deep learning engines and reduce training times and data needs. Bitext works in this way with many other organizations’ systems. With Bitext, the language coverage of an existing system is easy to expand. We now have text analysis technology in more than 30 languages. If a licensee needs a particular language capability, we can easily add this to our language library.

The Bitext Deep Linguistic Analysis breakthrough enables analysts and law enforcement professionals to make sense of large flows of information in multiple languages. The Big Data problem is sharply reduced. Bitext’s platform delivers named entity resolution, event extraction, and extended world knowledge data or knowledge graph data in a low cost, near-real time way.

Dr. Valderrabanos summed up Bitext’s remarkable linguistic technology with “Bitext breakthroughs. Language solved.
