Next Level Tech
The Quid platform rests on a robust, cutting edge infrastructure and runs on technology that delivers powerful results.
Data Pipeline
Our data pipeline processes millions of news articles, blog posts and documents such as patents and company data. Quid indexes and categorizes this data, serving up only those items truly relevant to your search. Built on top of a cloud-based infrastructure, Quid® proprietary text processing algorithms reduce noise, improve time to insight and maximize search performance.
Quid can take in text-rich data from any source. There are also datasets available to all users, including:
News Over 550k news and blog sources. Over 1.4M articles come from each stream daily and are indexed every second.
Patents Complete coverage of patents from over 50 patent authorities dating back to the 1960s, in over 50 jurisdictions including the U.S., China, and patents filed through the WIPO and European Patent Office.
Company Firmographic data and language for 50k high-growth companies that have received venture capital funding since 2012, on top of a greater global dataset of over 1.8M companies
Custom Data Any text data set – proprietary or publicly available. Examples of custom data include customer product reviews, scientific papers, surveys, job postings, call records and more.
Language Extraction
Our proprietary, high performance algorithms find and amplify the small signals that are crucial to identifying actionable insights quickly. These algorithms are optimized for search, ranking and trend analysis. Quid learns dynamically from the documents, using the actual textual content instead of keywords or predetermined topics, thus leading to unbiased signal and more advanced relationship mapping than simple keyword matching.
Implicit network analysis and graph theory find meaningful connections and relationships between people, topics, and documents that conventional search misses. Rich models that run continuously using artificial intelligence and Natural Language Processing help find insights across millions of data points.
Network Generation
Leveraging GPUs, Quid has a custom-built high performance visualization engine that displays large volumes of data 10x faster compared to other frameworks. Its visualization framework can handle 20,000 interactive objects with near zero latency.
Quid is browser based, optimized for Chrome and Firefox and uses the latest web technologies (webGL, web workers, etc) to push the limits of what’s possible with in-browser software.
