OpenAmplify is a web service that brings human understanding to content. Using patented Natural Language Processing technology, OpenAmplify reads and understands every word used in text. It identifies the significant topics, brands, people, perspectives, emotions, actions and timescales and presents the findings in an actionable XML structure.
By understanding what text actually means – not just the individual words – OpenAmplify can better manage and monetize content. The company has leveraged 20 years of academic research into applied computational linguistics and machine learning. Unlike most ‘deep’ Natural Language Processing technologies, OpenAmplify’s research has concentrated on commercial systems that meet the demands of large-scale business use. Our technology is continually evolving and is today protected by 10 granted and 6 pending patents in the USA, Sweden and EU regions.
OpenAmplify gives other systems developers simple, scalable access to the most powerful Natural Language Processing technology in an open web service platform. -
Founder, Executive Director
ParnasaFest
(Philanthropy industry)
November 2008 — Present (1 year 1 month)
ParnasaFest was created as a grass-roots reaction to the news of mass layoffs in the Jewish Non-Profit world in early 2009. In just the past few months, so many people have lost their Parnasa (Hebrew word for income/livelihood) and who knows what else may come. A we know, job loss is no limited to the Jewish non-profit sector; people in Law, Finance, Accounting, Real Estate, Sales, Writing, and many others working for many types of organizations have also been impacted. ParnasaFest organizes successful networking events in various communities (see all the cities on this site) to help connect job seekers across occupational areas both with each other and with employers. Often, it is only one or two degrees of separation which separates someone from re-employment and ParnasaFest networking may help close that gap.
Now is the time to stand up and help each other. Whether it is posting a job opening, a kind word, making others laugh, offering your help or just passing on a good lead — the goals of ParnasaFest are universal and benefit all involved. ParnasaFest constantly endeavors to explore the power of networking and social media to further ones personal brand, job search, and career. -
