- Heuristic antivirus detection
- Protection, including encryption

These technologies are based on scientific advances in stochastic analysis and artificial intelligence, and they have been developed over many years in Russia. The company has an R&D facility in Moscow with a staff of 30, most of whom are highly experienced computer scientists.

Textpresso: An Ontology-Based Information Retrieval and Extraction System for Biological Literature

Textpresso: An Ontology-Based Information Retrieval and Extraction System for Biological Literature: "Textpresso, a new text-mining system for scientific literature whose capabilities go far beyond those of a simple keyword search engine. Textpresso's two major elements are a collection of the full text of scientific articles split into individual sentences, and the implementation of categories of terms for which a database of articles and individual sentences can be searched."
Textpresso can be accessed at http://www.textpresso.org or via WormBase at http://www.wormbase.org.

Data Classification Using a Digital Taxonomy

Data Classification Using a Digital Taxonomy (SYS-CON)(Printview): "Another implementation challenge is ensuring that data is classified correctly. There are auto-classification tools available that attempt to derive data context by using natural-language algorithms. These tools attempt to 'understand' the content of the given data by evaluating not just the keywords, but also the circumstance. Once attained, the tools will assign the data to the proper term in the taxonomy. The accuracy of these tools won't match human classification but could be acceptable especially if the data is already tagged using some form of metadata."

Article: Device translates spoken Japanese and English�| New Scientist: "A handheld device that enables a user to chat in another language - without having to learn any words or phrases for themselves - has been developed by Japanese electronics firm NEC.

The system is about the size of a handheld PDA and converts spoken Japanese to English and vice versa. It is planned for launch in Japan in the next few months."
