Underlying Techniques

Eduworks continues to research and implement efficient and effective versions of natural language and media processing techniques that can be applied in Tagworks. One of Eduworks core competencies is the ability to recognize, improve upon, and implement practical versions of such techniques.

For example, Eduworks’ custom implementation of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) has proven effective for adding domain-specific context awareness to search, while Eduworks’ general-purpose keyword generator is (in our not-so-humble opinion) one of the best around.

The strength of Tagworks lies in the quality of the underlying techniques it uses as well as its ability to add and draw on multiple techniques as needed.
