Attivio has announced the release of Attivio Platform 5.5, the latest version of its Cognitive Search and Insight Platform leveragingnext-generation cognitive capabilities, such as machine learning and natural language processing.

"Cognitive search is the new generation of enterprise search that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to return results that are more relevant to the user or embedded in an application issuing the search query," wrote Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Mike Gualtieri in The Forrester Wave: Cognitive Search and Knowledge Discovery Solutions, Q2 2017.

"Historically, search is great at enabling people to enter terms and return a series of documents," said Attivio CEO Stephen Baker .

"Attivio's vision is for search to drive productivity and insights across the enterprise as a key part of people's work lives. With the personalised delivery of information, Attivio becomes a true assistant by providing people what they need, when they need it – and even before they ask."

The key to delivering insights and transforming the productivity of information workers is improving relevancy of answers to a search queries. With machine learning relevancy, the Attivio Platform calculates relevancy based on personalised and dynamic relevancy profiles for each user. Each query is then combined with contextual information to return better results, thereby providing better insight faster.

With this advanced machine learning, the system is trained to deliver the most relevant information, in context. Attivio also offers the flexibility of manual relevancy tuning to optimize results.
