The core technology concepts used by iXmatch include: information retrieval; data mining technologies, including clustering and classification; collaborative filtering; state-of-the-art database technologies, including modeling and query processing; and personalization technologies.
iXfind is the first search product to seamlessly integrate these proven technologies into one intelligent search solution containing a search engine, clustering engine, matching engine, categorization engine, differentiation engine, and a recommendation engine. These engines work in concert with each other to deliver the following advanced functionality:
| Search |
Querying unstructured text and structured databases |
| Scoring |
Patented method of evaluating every object to determine its overall fit |
| Bidirectional matching |
Scoring every object not just based on how it fits the query, but also based on how well the querying object fits it. e.g. On a jobs site, a successful match only occurs when a candidate meets a job’s criteria and the job meets her criteria. |
| Query augmentation |
Dynamically refining a query based on user preferences and search results |
| Dynamic clustering |
Determining what makes groups of documents / objects similar |
| Auto-classification |
Automated categorization based on example documents |
| Self-learning |
Leveraging past behavior to sharpen focus |
| Dynamic differentiation |
Determining what makes documents / objects different |
| Predictive analytics |
Dynamic discovery of trends in large customer data sets |
