Abstract

This article presents WebFountain, a system that can convert the anarchy of online data - Web pages, e-mail, chat rooms, and more - into a format that can be analyzed to identify commercially valuable information. By leveraging the vast reserves of untapped information online, WebFountain can let companies make smarter business decisions while creating an open platform that encourages more machine understanding research to leave the laboratory.
