2. Introducing Yewno
Yewno is a Silicon Valley head quartered company, with offices in London and New York
The underpinning technology was borne from research in Kings College in from Ruggero Gramatica, CEO & Founder.
Original research leading to the development of the technology was in the field of ‘econophysics’ – or using applied mathematics to understand the economics.
Instead of using solely quantitative information to derive understanding, Ruggero’s research combined this with the application of advanced techniques in computational semantics to derive analysis.
Yewno Discover was developed in collaboration with Stanford University in the US.

4. How does Yewno Discover work?
Analyze:
We use a powerful combination of next generation computational semantics, graph theory, and machine learning to analyze full text content
We extract meaning from the text in the form of ‘concepts’
The concepts are mapped to show correlations among them
We have ingested a large amount of high quality scholarly information
There are no taxonomies or ontologies employed
There is no indexing or keyword mapping and no human curating of content
Reveal:
We unveil a pool of connected knowledge through our unique visualisation.
Users can view information as ‘snippets’ of highly relevant text, or link to the documents containing concepts.
Allowing users to;
serendipitously explore knowledge
efficiently explore in a deeper way
find unexpected correlations and connections
