Advanced NameSearch Capability – Acronym Recognition Corporate name searching concretely illustrates the pragmatic difficulties in developing solutions that find
correct information without missing likely candidates. People readily understand the similarities between
"Triple A towing" and "AAA towing" yet computerized systems would need to employ a knowledge based algorithm to recognize the relationship between Triple A and AAA.
The deployment of intelligence through knowledge based systems greatly benefits search and matching algorithms by identifying nicknames, shortened forms, noise words and other circumstances that require experience to return a more comprehensive result set.
However, knowledge based systems are limited by the breadth and depth of their lexicon. Contrary to names such as IBM and AT&T, the vast majority of acronyms lie outside the scope of knowledge base processing.
For example, our clients often used the IST acronym interchangeably with Intelligent Search Technology yet it would be unreasonable to expect the inclusion of IST in a knowledge based system. The NameSearch
software with its corporate search algorithms and acronym recognition functionality significantly advances
the ability to seek and match corporate name data.
