SavantX
SavantX’s A.I. extends results to
Related Terms, such as different
Continued from Page 7 terms, same meaning. Thus
making the platform forgiving if a search term is misspelled
or abbreviated.
The capabilities that SavantX delivers encompass a broad
scope, not the least of which is facilitating knowledge transfer
and retention. The Patent Pending Technologies that drive
SavantX allow for revealing hidden relationships and trends
in the data which aids in having
actionable information that a
plant can use to help safeguard
against repeating undesirable
conditions/ incidents.
Making Search Easy
The overarching goal behind
the technology is to make ALL
station data quickly findable…
by bringing the “consumer”
search experience to the
Enterprise. An easy-to-use User
Experience (UX) utilizes natural
language queries to return
relevant results. A state-of-theart
data visualization tool allows
users to interact with the data
and gain much more relevant
information than a run-of-themill
search tool would allow for.
The SavantX Platform ingests all
station databases directly to include attachments. The
attachments are processed to make them machine-readable.
Image files are OCR’d. All data is then searchable residing in
a single data store or corpus continually updated with the
latest documents.
Results are quickly returned to the user and automatically
ranked with smart (A.I. enhanced) user-controlled filters. Key
terms are identified, and relationships highlighted at the
passage level from disparate data stores, disambiguating and
enabling rapid navigation with large return sets. A discovery
feature provides an interactive user experience of the search
results so that users unfamiliar with the principal terms/
concepts/relationships in a specific knowledge domain can
instantly see and navigate to actionable information. By
computing relationships in higher dimensions, SavantX is
able to reveal 2 nd , 3 rd ,4 th , and 5 th party relationships.
Making Operational Experience On-Demand
The initial focus for SavantX was to help the nuclear energy
market solve their intractable problem of turning tens of
millions of records across many datasets into critical insights
to maximize safety and efficiency. The Company continues to
innovate and apply its technologies to new applications and
domains to include the Department of Defense.
This Next Generation Search & Discovery Platform built
especially for the Nuclear Power Industry to deliver on the
Nuclear Promise will be at the upcoming 2018 NIRMA
Conference where SavantX will be both exhibiting and
presenting. In the meantime, you can learn more at
