When deploying a search engine in an organisation, it can be useful to think deeply about the underlying assumptions being made. These can help inform strategies. Arguably, some organisations may deploy reductionist technology focused strategies without perhaps thinking about all the assumptions they are making. CLEVERLEY, P.H. and BURNETT, S. 2019. Enterprise search and discovery... Continue Reading →

As well as detecting Geo-resources in unstructured text reports, papers and logs, OpportunityFinder can detect and disambiguate all kinds of geological concepts. High level lithology groupings in the Williston Basin are shown above in the Beeswarm chart. contact@infosciencetechnologies.com

Sentiment analysis of the last ten years of Guardian news articles mentioning geoscience. Geoscience is often mentioned in context to natural geohazards. However, there might be a trend towards increasing negative sentiment over time that may warrant further exploration. #geosciences #naturallanguageprocessing #oilandgas #mining #hydrogeology #geohazards
