Thanks a lot, freediver! This is Francesco, co-founder.

We are using Entity Linking to detect entities in text. The algorithm takes into account context to disambiguate words, i.e., in "Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80" the word Mercury should be linked to the chemical element rather than the planet. When documents are indexed this way, the user is able to perform queries for specific concepts rather than simple keywords.

We had a demo open until a week ago, but we decided to close it to focus on finishing up some infrastructure work that will help us handle more efficiently maintenance of data sets. On the other hand we didn't want to drag it for too long and decided to just launch :)

We'll re-open to the public once we do that. If you're curious I can share a login for you to try it out.
