Smartlogik strategic partners include IBM, Sun, Horizon Open Systems, iCore, Norcontrol and Germinus. Smartlogik's unique searching and categorisation technologies originate from two different sources: The search technology, muscatdiscovery, stemmed from Dr Martin Porter's work with a special research team at Cambridge University. This team investigated new information retrieval paradigms and included fellow information retrieval experts Professor Keith Van Rijsbergen and Professor Stephen Robertson. The techniques developed by the team moved beyond traditional keyword matching towards a pure probabilistic information retrieval model based on contextual analysis of language. The indexing technology, muscatstructure, originated from the need to search across multiple sources of information. MAID, an information processing pioneer, developed the tool for categorising terabytes of information. This technology is currently employed by Thompson Corporation to service the information needs of 20,000+ organisations.
