Use Smart Spreadsheets with Natural Language Question Answering to Derive Greater Insights
Synapse is a “Smart Table Technology” that leverages natural language queries to populate a spreadsheet with answers from structured and unstructured data sources stored in a Layar Data Fabric. Synapse harnesses powerful BERT-modeled deep learning text analytics to derive greater value and insights from the Vyasa Biomedical Reference Data Fabric as well as internal document repositories, data storages, and real-time data streams.
Learn more about how Synapse can fundamentally change the way you utilize spreadsheets within your organization.
Question Answering in Spreadsheets
Ask Natural Language Questions of Your Integrated Data Fabric
Synapse enables users to ask questions and retrieve deep learning A.I. answers from integrated content in Layar Data Fabrics from a familiar spreadsheet view. Results in Synapse continuously update the spreadsheet with new information, offering users real-time deep learning analytics on their data.
Question Answering in Spreadsheets
Ask Multiple Questions About a List of Concepts with Smart Columns
Synapse makes advanced querying easy with Smart Columns. Built on state-of-the-art language understanding networks, Smart Columns can answer natural language questions based on the content connected to your Synapse system. Smart Columns are an active learning system that continuously improves in answering your domain-specific questions.
Radar
Broaden Your Questions To Include Similar or Related Terms
Radar allows users to start to uncover content that is semantically similar. Radar leverages deep learning to expand a list of input terms from Smart Tables to include those found within the unstructured text data that are neighbors in vector space. This provides efficient data augmentation and insight generation that are generally the result of tedious manual searching.
Sharing
Improve Your Workflow by Sharing Smart Tables with Your Team
Seamlessly collaborate and delegate with teammates across multiple projects, and export Evidence into an HTML for further downstream analytics.
Vyasa Biomedical Reference Data Fabric
Access to Pre-Built Sources
Connect to millions of life-science and legal texts for research and analytics, continuously analyzed by Layar using advanced deep learning text analytics algorithms. Retrieve answers from documents within PubMed, Clinical Trials, the US Patent and Trademark Office, and more.
Evidence
View Supporting Evidence for Answers Derived from Vyasa Question Answering
Drill down into the scientific articles that Synapse used as supporting evidence for each answer generated in the Smart Table. Synapse’s deep learning A.I. agents collect information from documents across your data fabrics to return the these supporting documents for you to quickly the assess the relevance of the evidence for your results.
