創新分析平台

Mergeflow創建並運營創新智能解決方案，將自學技術與先進的計算能力相結合，提供獨特的見解。

數位時代的創新智能──機器增強智能(Machine-Augmented Intelligence)

各行各業的全球技術領導者使用Mergeflow來發掘新興創新技術相關的產品，市場，研究，專利，初創企業和專家。

如果能結合人類的好奇心及創造力所導出的出色擴張性之自我學習技術，人類與電腦將可發揮出遠比獨立運作更強大的實力。因此Mergeflow並不是為了取代人類工作，而是開發增強用輔助軟體，我們稱之為機器增強智能(Machine-Augmented Intelligence)。

利用Mergeflow的服務，可自動化數據收集和準備，讓您可以專注於數據解釋。。

• 跨來源的連續資料收集
  • Mergeflow使用獨家開發的網路爬蟲，API和其他技術來完成收集和匯總技術和創新數據。

• 識別人員和組織
  • 然後，Mergeflow創建交互式可視化，顯示actor如何相互關聯。藉由從不同文件內容識別人員和組織，透過對話型介面提供各個要素之相互關係可視化。

• 財務資料的調查
  • 從全球新聞內容，收集風險企業基金相關的現象和市場預算，研究計劃的資金籌措等相關資訊。

資訊收集的差距

可用數據的增加速度、數量和多樣性呈指數級增長，但可用於分析這些數據的分析師數量卻頂多只有線性成長，結果便造成了情報收集的落差。

情報收集的落差明顯顯示出數據增加的失控。試圖尋找，僱用或教育更多分析師並不會有所幫助。

Mergeflow從各種情報來源不斷收集技術和革新相關內容，並通過獨家開發的自然語言和機器學習算法來提供這些內容。

為了縮小差距的配合措施

Mergeflow認為，為了填補持續擴大的資訊收集落差，需要採用強化機器智力的這個新手法來收集革新相關資訊，但要實行這個新方法必須滿足幾個條件。

• 敏捷且持續性資料收集
  • 首先需要全年無休收集資料的系統，自我學習技術，透過互動式介面提供視覺化資料。這使我們可以專注於數據解釋，而不是數據收集和準備。

• 全方位視點
  • 同時也需要調查各產業與技術領域的研究開發，商務，資金籌措的動向徵兆，並闡明其交互關係之作業。

• 高透明度且無偏見的資訊
  • 為了基於事實支援決策，基本上便需要能點閱存取所有資料。此外也必須排除需徵收仲介手續費的仲介業者經營模式。

Innovation Analytics Platform

Software for teams and individuals who operate at the intersection of R&D and business. Mergeflow builds and operates innovation intelligence solutions that combine self-learning technologies with advanced computing power to provide unique insights.

Innovation Intelligence for the Digital Age - Machine-Augmented Intelligence

Global technology leaders in and across diverse industries use Mergeflow to discover products, markets, research, patents, start-ups, and experts associated with emerging, innovative technologies.

The combination of human curiosity and creativity with the scalability of self-learning technologies is much more powerful than either human or computer alone. This is why at Mergeflow we build software to augment, not replace, human work. We call this Machine-Augmented Intelligence.

Mergeflow automates data collection and preparation, so that you can focus on data interpretation.

• Continuous Data Capture Across Sources
  • Mergeflow uses custom-built web crawlers, APIs, and other technologies to continuously collect and aggregate tech and innovation data.

• Identify People And Organizations
  • Mergeflow extracts names of people, organizations, objects and events from document contents. Then Mergeflow creates interactive visualizations that show how actors relate to each other.

• Explore Financial Data
  • From the contents of world wide news, Mergeflow extracts venture funding events, market estimates, and research funding data.

The Intelligence Gap

Speed, volume, and diversity of available data grow exponentially while the number of analysts available for analyzing these data only grows linearly, if at all. This results in an intelligence gap.

The intelligence gap clearly shows runaway dynamics. Trying to find, hire, or educate more analysts is not going to help.

From diverse sources, Mergeflow 24/7 collects tech and innovation contents. These contents are then being fed through our proprietary natural language and machine learning algorithms.

Closing the Gap

In order to close the ever-widening intelligence gap, we need a new, machine-augmented, approach to innovation intelligence. Some requirements for this new approach:

• Agile and Continuous
  • We need 24/7 automated data collection, self-learning technologies, and interactive visualizations. This lets us focus on data interpretation, rather than data collection and preparation.

• 360° View
  • We need to be able to explore and cross-correlate signals from R&D to business to finance, across industries and technologies.

• Transparent and Unbiased
  • In order to support fact-based decision making, we need full access to all underlying data. No finder's fees or other intermediary business models.
