Vision and Mission
With the advent of the Internet, the sciences have changed dramatically, producing ever-increasing amounts of data and texts. Public databases currently host thousands of 3D protein structures, millions of sequences, and millions of scientific literature abstracts. Current technologies do not support the user in finding the right information for a task. We help you solve these problems!
Mission
Develop Intelligent Search Technologies for the Life Sciences and Beyond
Beyond keywords, Transinsight uses novel algorithms, state-of-the art natural language processing, and ontologies to provide better and faster search capabilities for complex queries not only in the life sciences.
The goal of this development is the establishment of a semantic web for the life sciences. GoPubMed, the ontology-based literature search engine, is a first example of a knowledge-based semantic search engine to improve searching in sciences. GoPubMed paves the way for a migration from web to semantic web.
Vision
Towards Finding Answers
Beyond today's knowledge-based search, our vision is to contribute to the ultimate goal of finding answers and to ease the process of finding the right information for any given question. Providing the right pieces of textual material and data and summarizing them to suit a certain context will be the next step on our road map.
Our Philosophy
The Transinsight Principle - Gain Insight Through Transparency
The name Transinsight stands for gaining insight through transparency. Our philosophy is therefore to allow customers as much insight into our procedures as possible. We faithfully follow this philosophy with our products as well. In the search technology used in Transinsight's Enterprise Semantic Intelligence® Knowledge Suite we don't rank results using an opaque algorithm. Instead, we put users in the driver's seat by allowing them to rank or filter results according to their needs. The use of a knowledge base makes this possible. Sorting search results into categories is the key to fostering transparency. In accordance with our vision "Towards Finding Answers," transparency plays the central role. Our users should be able to understand why certain search results are presented and how the software has applied reasoning techniques in order to arrive at the presented conclusions. Our promise is to continually operate around this principle.
