Appinions Receives US Patent for Opinion Identification Tool

New York-based Appinions has been awarded a patent for its methodology for analysing, extracting, and summarizing opinions from digital text such as articles, blog posts, and social media messages.

The Appinions platform (formerly known as Jodange), extracts and aggregates opinions from more than five million sources, including blogs, social networks, forums, and newspaper and magazine articles.

It has now been awarded a 20 year patent by The US Patent Office, for the system and method for automatically summarizing opinions in digital text.

Appinions co-founder and Chief Scientist, Dr. Claire Cardie (pictured), a professor at Cornell University's Department of Computer Science, led the research and development for this methodology.

'This patent marks the culmination of more than 10 years of research into opinion identification and semantic analysis and we're thrilled to be recognized for this groundbreaking achievement,' Cardie commented.
