Intelligent keyphrase extraction service
You need to be able to understand what is in your data to unlock its full value. Up to 80% of all data in enterprises is unstructured. That is to say it is not organized in a pre-defined manner and is text-heavy. Furthermore, about 90% of all unstructured data is ’dark’- unknown/lost and unanalysed data without context and metadata. These large volumes of data currently serve nothing and are useless knowledge. Using our Keywise Service enables you to shine a light into these untapped resources.
Keywise is an automated keyword and keyphrased extractor. Most importantly it doesn’t require any pre-conditioning of data and provides a non-distruptive service with entire catalogues of files processed in a single operation

What's involved?
- No data pre-conditioning - Keywise works on a 'bag of files’: Consequently rapid and meaningful information can be gained from any PC readable media where file location or existence is unknown and file naming cannot be relied upon. Processes complete directory trees (incl .zip archives) in batch mode without disturbing integrity.
- Harness the power of multiple algorithms: Powered by a choice of multiple keywording algorithms used individually, in ‘method based’ groups, or all at once. This ensures your outputs are optimised for your input datasets.
- Auto-OCR scanned image files: Identifies image files and performs OCR ‘on the fly’ to extract text for analyses. This allows lost image based document scans become findable again, with context.
- Autogenerates file listings: Capture the location and presence of specific file types and identify empty or low value files and corrupt .zip archives.
- Output is configurable for input into your existing databases or we can provide a simple data catalogue.
Merlin's Capability
We recognised that for many, full technical metadata indexing represents a huge barrier in terms of cost and effort vs perceived reward. As a result non-indexed unstructured and semi-structured data remain common. In order to improve data value for clients we created Keywise as an affordable and efficient service.
If you would like to see what Keywise can do please give us a call. We are happy to receive small batches of documents (<40) from prospective clients that we will process at no charge (at our sole discretion) to show what it can do.
