Because InFact is designed to fully understand the grammar,

InFact's powerful and expressive query syntax can be used to search

New Interactive Text Query Language Enables Much More Specific,

Current Search Technologies

announced the launch of InFact(R) 3., search for any person or organization
that was involved in a particular action, not just a particular
person), and constrain results based on Boolean combinations and

Pharmaceuticals

InFact's capabilities allow pharmaceutical researchers to gain
better insight faster, from volumes of unstructured data, thereby
accelerating drug discovery processes.
With InFact, relationships, events and actions are more than mere
keyword associations like "word X often occurs with word Y; therefore
there is a relationship between X and Y. Using patent pending
linguistic data structures, InFact then compares ideas and events
across document sources and databases. More
detailed information regarding these and other factors that could
affect actual results is set forth in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. The Web-ready, Seamark-generated application can
be used "as is"; refined as necessary for look, feel or function;
incorporated into a Web page; or linked to other applications as a Web
service. "It's like finding an ethnic
restaurant by pinpointing 'restaurant', 'ethnic', 'Moroccan', and
'Fifth Avenue' in a 15-second look at the Manhattan Yellow Pages,
versus searching page by page through the White Pages for a week,"
said Allen."

Dynamic Discovery, Dynamic Application

What Seamark does is systematically examine the various data
sources to which it is introduced, discovers both the explicit and
implicit structure or organization in the data, produces a "metadata"
description of its content and characteristics, and then, as described
above, automatically generates a browsable, prototype application
based upon that description .

Defense Intelligence

InFact provides intelligence analysts with software to
interactively search, quantify, and perform analysis of hundreds of
thousands of relationships among individuals, organizations,
geographical locations, monetary amounts and all kinds of other
transactions within minutes. InFact uses intelligent incremental
indexing for storing, searching , and manipulating sentence structures. A comprehensive Java Search API
enables client or server side development, embedding of all InFact
functions in other systems, or integration with third-party
visualization tools. InFact can be
deployed on any desktop that can run a Web browser such as IE,
Netscape, or Mozilla. Seamark overcomes this problem with

errors or defects in our software; the risks associated with our
ability to compete in the markets we serve; and the risks associated
with market demand and customer acceptance of our products.

Search the Way You Think

What makes pinpoint navigation so effective is that it permits
users to search the way they think. And as the underlying data changes and
grows, the choices presented users change with it.

sources (both structured and unstructured from both inside and outside
the enterprise) as a new, dynamic data collection that can be browsed,

necessary when using keyword search. But what is
particularly exciting is that Seamark provides exactly what industry

Insightful Announces InFact 3.0 For Text Analysis and Relationship Search

0, a breakthrough for text
analysis and relationship search. "InFact offers a powerful combination of relationship
search and text analysis that improves the quality of information
available for enterprise decision-making by uncovering patterns,
trends, and relationships in data that may not be uncovered by
traditional search and text analysis products. For example, researchers can
search and retrieve relationship-based summary reports about all
genes, proteins, and pharmacological substances that can block or
regulate a specific gene, providing insight that may unlock the next
blockbuster drug or stop development of an ineffective drug sooner. It also identifies modifiers of the action that
may add insight, such as the date or location.

can -- with minimal setup -- access and consolidate data sets and live
data feeds from virtually anywhere into a cohesive, organized whole,
and then provide end users with the capability to navigate that
information with unprecedented speed and efficiency -- many times
faster than using even the best of the brute -force, keyword search
tools available today. "Humans are brilliant in sifting
through massive amounts of information with great intuitive leaps if
the information is organized into familiar groupings ," says Allen.

That Hobson's choice, explained Allen, is: "Do I send vast amounts

waste their own resources, over and over, by endlessly crawling
through page after page of classical keyword-driven search results in
search of business intelligence?"

example, an analyst could search for all cases where one company
purchased another company, constraining the search to oil or energy
companies, and to purchases that were NOT a hostile takeover, and ones
that happened between 1995 and 2005.
By contrast, InFact uses a multilevel approach that uses grammar,
semantics , and syntax to capture actions and facts from documents." InFact is designed to
perceive events as evidence of some specific activity or attitude,
such as "Organization X is hostile to Person Y" or "Gene X inhibits
Gene Y.
The Most Advanced Natural Language Processing Technology: Unlike
other search tools that have attempted to utilize natural language
processing to move beyond keyword search , InFact's indexing is
automatic and doesn't require the time and expense of a hand-entered
knowledge base (list of terms), manually "meta-tagged" documents, or
laboriously prepared rule books. Reports can be shared
in a collaborative environment or exported to a central relational
database system . Client interfaces include RSS, SOAP, and ASP/JSP.
"Each of these pinpoint navigation applications allows you to
search the way you think," comments Allen, "and the power of this
approach becomes immediately obvious upon use. Seamark offers a packaged, turn-key
solution that is as fast and easy to use as a well-designed, custom
knowledge management application while at the same time providing the
low lifecycle costs, scalability, and the relative simplicity of a
classical search engine .

ABOUT INSIGHTFUL

Insightful Corporation (Nasdaq:IFUL) provides enterprises with
scalable data analysis solutions that drive better decisions faster by
revealing patterns , trends, and relationships. The company is a
leading supplier of software and services for statistical data
analysis, data mining, and knowledge access enabling clients to gain
intelligence from numeric and text data. The company has
been delivering industry-leading, high-ROI solutions to thousands of
companies in financial services, life sciences, biotechnology,
telecommunications, manufacturing , plus government and research
institutions. The new system
enables enterprise IT personnel to implement -- often in a few minutes
or hours -- compelling business applications that feature an
aggregated, single point of access to widely-varying, distributed
sources information, and a means for knowledge workers and other end
users to pinpoint precisely the information they are seeking , in a
few, quick steps.
In a Seamark-generated application, users discover information
with "pinpoint navigation" -- a next generation "search and discovery"
technique that differs considerably from the linear, keyword search
processes used by Google and others. For example, a
Seamark application that includes an RSS data feed as one of the data
sources could not only alert the user that new information has become
available, but that new categories of information are available, as
well .com/advsearch/search.jsp), among
others. The company, based
in El Segundo, California, has raised $6 million from Clearstone
Ventures, Innocal, and Red Rock Ventures.

acronyms, and new entity type assignments), endowing the InFact system
with knowledge of a vertical domain.beachhouse.
"With its next-generation, pinpoint navigation capability that offer
