i2 Notebook

Automatically fuse data and avoid duplicate entities

i2 Notebook now recognizes and avoids duplicate entities appearing on the chart. As records are brought to the chart from a connected source, such as the Information Store or from an external search, it identifies and merges them to maintain a single record.

 

Enrich data from connected data sources

i2 Notebook records are now enriched with additional data retrieved from external searches or the Information Store. The Record Inspector will also reflect the updated data.

Enhanced usability

Using the Highlight Panel, you can now push selected data directly onto your chart making adding entities even easier.

i2 TextChart

i2 TextChart gives analysts the power to quickly identify the who, what, when, where and sentiment in unstructured content in almost any language.

This new release enables you to achieve more with ease and greater precision while integrating with other i2 products. Benefit from a boost in language processing and performance enhancements that translate into tangible benefits for analysts.

Gain insights from semi-structured documents

i2 TextChart can now read and extract entities from your semi-structured data. This feature is available for Law Enforcement, Military, Banking and Financial Fraud records, enabling the analyst to gain insights from these datasets in an accurate way, tailored to each scenario.

More accurate language extraction

You can now extract entities with more confidence from Slavic languages (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.), romance languages (Spanish, Galician, Portuguese, French, etc.), and Nordic languages (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, etc.).

Improved place name identification

i2 TextChart now takes into consideration the context of the data when extracting place names. This means that, for example, it will correctly resolve Paris, France, or Paris, Texas, to ensure more accurate geolocation of your data.

Event timelines

Canonical, or standardized, dates are now a feature of i2 TextChart’s entity extraction. Using standardized dates and times gives analysts the power to map out events in the correct chronological order with minimal intervention.
