("Arria NLG", or "Arria")
Grant of 9th US Patent
Arria NLG plc (AIM:NLG), a technology leader in the development
and deployment of Natural Language Generation ("NLG"), is to be
granted a patent on its Method and Apparatus for Annotating a
Graphical Output from the US Patent and Trademark Office, its ninth
patent to date. The Company's Chief Scientist, Prof. Ehud Reiter,
created this important new feature, part of the Arria NLG
Platform.
The patent covers new features of Arria NLG's products, which
automate real-time data analysis and generate reports using
language that follows intuitive rules for how humans communicate
and comprehend information.
The innovations protected by the new patent tie together graphs
and graphical annotations with the corresponding narrative in
natural language reports that the Arria NLG software generates. For
example, placing one's cursor on a graphical element can cause the
corresponding report section to be highlighted for ease of
reference. The patented features will be deployed to strengthen the
integration of language and graphical elements in the Company's
products. As with the Company's other recent patents, the covered
features are desirable in any NLG system, not only Arria NLG's
advanced Reiter & Dale model language generation system.
The new patent is part of a broad diversification plan that
Arria NLG has instituted to enhance versatility and improve ease of
use, as well as to increase the analytic power and actionable
conclusions of its NLG products.
Arria NLG remains on track to launch Recount, its first software
as a service ("SaaS") product offering these features and others,
to accountants and financial managers worldwide, later this year.
Additionally, the Company expects to introduce Software Development
Kit (SDK) 5.0, an automated NLG report-generating software toolkit
permitting developers, without NLG training, to embed Arria NLG
analytics and reporting into their software and websites.
Stuart Rogers, Chairman and Chief Executive of Arria NLG,
stated: "This Arria NLG patent further integrates graphical
displays with narrative text in the Company's NLG products, thereby
enhancing user experience and providing the business or engineering
user with actionable information in a simple yet comprehensive
form.
"We will continue to invest in patenting our IP on an ongoing
basis and are pleased to secure our ninth patent to date and sixth
in 2016. We see it as essential to protect our products and
critical processes as we safeguard our position as one of the
leading developers of AI and NLG innovations."
