Linguamatics Ltd, a leader in enterprise text mining for the life science and other markets, today announced that it has been awarded "Company of the Year 2009" at the Cambridge Computer Lab Ring Hall of Fame Awards 2009, held earlier this month at Queens' College, Cambridge.
The Awards recognise the success of companies founded by graduates of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory.
"Linguamatics has achieved consistent strong growth and profitability since founding," said Stephen Allott, member of both the Governing Council of the Ring and the Awards judging panel. "The fact that their text mining software is now deployed at most of the world's largest life science companies demonstrates their success in solving high-value information-based problems for pharmaceutical R&D."
"We are delighted to be honoured as Company of the Year," added Roger Hale, COO and Co-founder of Linguamatics. "Linguamatics is committed to delivering innovative software for finding high quality answers from unstructured text, so that our customers can make better informed and faster decisions."
ABOUT LINGUAMATICS
Linguamatics helps organizations to maximize the value derived from information resources through effective deployment of innovative natural language processing (NLP) based technology. The versatile interactive information extraction system, I2E, helps organizations to do much more than simply cope with vast quantities of information. Its unique combination of search and text mining helps organizations to turn this information into a competitive advantage. From life sciences and healthcare to business intelligence, from media analysis to security, users mine large collections of documents, extracting relevant facts, relationships and quantitative data from content such as scientific papers, news feeds, patents, or internal reports. Linguamatics has a rapidly growing user community with I2E deployed at most top-10 pharma companies. The company was founded in 2001, and is based in Cambridge, UK.
ABOUT I2E
Linguamatics' flagship I2E technology combines four key capabilities to enable users to rapidly extract relevant facts and relationships from large document collections:
- Natural language processing (NLP): using linguistics to quickly interpret the meaning of unstructured text sources.
- Search engine approach: where users can define and refine ad hoc queries interactively, returning results in real time.
- Intuitive reporting: presenting extracted information with drill-down to supporting evidence.
- Domain knowledge plug-in: providing enhanced semantic search capabilities using domain knowledge such as taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies.
I2E features a client-server architecture built using industry-standard Java and C for use by single users, project teams, or in enterprise-wide deployments. Organizations have full control over source content to be mined, definition of queries and results output.

ABOUT THE CAMBRIDGE COMPUTER LAB RING
The Cambridge Computer Lab Ring is a not-for-profit independent members' association that campaigns on behalf of Cambridge computer science graduates to build the Cambridge graduate community in computing. It was launched in October 2002 to provide computer laboratory graduates with a lifetime benefit from their Cambridge degree, and now has a membership of over 600.
The association was cited by Richard Lambert in the Lambert Review of Business-University Collaboration (3.8, p32) as an example of how "universities, departments and faculties should develop their alumni networks in order to build closer relationships with their graduates working in the business community."
