New Guided Navigation module: Nretriever^TM

Expands Meta-Data Generation Capabilities

Within Nserver suite, Nstein offers specific indexing products such as the Nconcept Extractor™, which extracts and displays concepts that are present in documents. Nconcept Extractor 3.0 now includes enhanced extraction and ranking algorithms for both complex and simple concepts (i.e. key phrases and keywords).

Ncategorizer™ 3.0 (Nstein's categorization product) now includes improved categorization algorithms as well as a new rule-based layer that allows content managers to define domain-specific indexing & business rules.

Nfinder™ 3.0 (Nstein's entity extraction product) now extracts, out of the box and in several languages, two new entity types of Dates & Times (ISO 8601 standard) and Currencies (ISO 4217 standard).

Finally, Nlikethis™ 3.0 (Nstein's search enhancement product) was significantly enhanced, improving its accuracy & processing speed and decreasing its repository size.
