("Arria NLG", or "Arria")
Partnership agreement with GeoCosmo Sciences SPC
Arria NLG (AIM: NLG), a world leader in artificial intelligence
("AI") and natural language generation ("NLG"), and GeoCosmo
Sciences SPC ("GeoCosmo"), a global project based out of NASA's
Ames Research Park in California, is pleased to announce a
partnership to build precision NLG capabilities into the GeoCosmo
Earthquake Forecasting Service(TM) to improve communication and
advance notification of the deadliest natural disasters.
GeoCosmo, a leader in the earthquake forecasting community, is
on a mission to bring life-changing safety technology to at-risk
populations. To date, GeoCosmo has forecasted 22 out of 22 3.1
magnitude and above earthquakes in their South American test area
since sensors were deployed in 2012. They are currently developing
forecasting services that will be able to detect major earthquakes
days and weeks ahead of their occurrence. GeoCosmo's new technology
leverages semiconductor physics, satellites and big data algorithms
to pick up detectable precursory signals from Earth's tectonic
plates, and identify disasters before they happen.
With Arria's partnership, GeoCosmo will be able to bridge the
data distance between semiconductor physics and plain language.
Arria's technology will be used to automate the analysis of seismic
event data and report on large data sets in real time. Such reports
and dynamic dashboards, in English and other languages can include
status and alerts for dissemination to appropriate authorities,
media and populations.
Earthquakes are the deadliest of all natural disasters - over
the last 100 years, they have caused millions of deaths and cost
the global economy trillions of dollars. Just this past month, over
290 people were killed in a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Italy.
Charles Gonzales, Chief Executive Officer of GeoCosmo, said:
"This technology will improve the way we travel and interact with
the earth. Not only will this add an incredible safety feature to
society both locally and globally, it will provide time to prepare
for potentially devastating seismic disasters and protect local and
global communities - something we have been unable to do until
now."
Sharon Daniels, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of
Arria NLG, commented: "Through this relationship with GeoCosmo,
Arria's platform will soon be able to interpret complex sources of
scientific data to communicate incredibly valuable information to
affected communities. Arria is committed to this kind of
mission-based strategic partnership that uses AI to accelerate the
way we understand, interpret and share information to improve the
way we live."

About GeoCosmo Sciences SPC
GeoCosmo is a NASA Ames Research Park based special benefit
corporation whose mission is to save lives and mitigate damage
through forecasting earthquakes. GeoCosmo's physicists and
mathematicians have shown that every major earthquake is preceded
by measurable pre-earthquake signals that emanate from deep within
the Earth's crust. These earthquake precursors are measurable days
and even weeks before the main shocks. GeoCosmo is honored to be
the first recipient of the Singularity University Global Grand
Challenge Award for Disaster Resiliency. For additional
