The past few years have witnessed exponential growth in data volumes, forms and sources of data. To handle this ever increasing complexity and dimensionality, an Intelligent Framework for knowledge discovery is required. This framework should also support text analysis, visualization, intelligent search, man-machine interface, data management, geo-spatial, temporal data processing including statistics processing. A holistic approach based on Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics provides such a framework. It brings forth a breakthrough natural language-based cognitive technology, which provides instant access to powerful predictive and visual analytic tools for businesses in general and market research in particular.
