Services
Businesses all around the world need to collect and analyze huge amounts of data. Human analysts are not capable of doing it quickly and efficiently. That is why Primer created a set of tools and technologies that facilitate and expedite data collection and analysis, Computational engines the company builds include:
- Engine 1. Structure. The engine extracts data, stores it, and identifies the relations between the entities.
- Engine 2. Ensemble. It constructs models of reality based on multiple documents. A multiple-doc approach helps to capture even small details and improves engine performance.
- Engine 3. Event. The engine extracts data from documents and looks for evidence of events that happened in real life.
- Engine 4. Context. The engine allows us to find evidence that supports specific facts showing the connection between the events.
- Engine 5. Difference. Comparing data on the structural level, the engine helps to identify contradictions in the facts. Applying the engine across different languages helps to detect events that are covered by one country and are not covered by another.
- Engine 6. Story. The engine provides a complex analysis of the narrative in English, Russian, and Chinese.
In 2019 Primer created NER (Named Entity Recognition Model). The model surpasses other similar tools previously created by Facebook and Google in accuracy. NER can find names of places and people in a document in just a few seconds and attribute them to the right group. The company used Harry Potter fan-fiction novels to stress-test the model and find names of characters, locations, and organizations.
