NEW YORK, July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Arria NLG, a
leading provider of Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology,
today announced the two companies have joined forces to help the
world draw greater meaning from data, opening the doors to better
solutions for many of the problems we face. Their collaboration
augments BI dashboards with insights written in natural language,
providing a new starting point for data analytics.
Already, this strategic partnership has assisted people by
giving them an improved understanding of COVID-19 data in the
context of whichever places around the world they most urgently
need information on. Arria's natural language generation software
was used in a TIBCO Spotfire® COVID-19 dashboard to
provide key data insights into the impact of the disease from the
local level to the global level.
TIBCO data scientists aggregate massive amounts of data for
reporting in their dashboards, which include maps, graphs, and
other visualizations to illustrate what's happening around the
world. Arria's NLG software then uses artificial intelligence to
transform the data into dynamically generated written narratives,
helping dashboard viewers better understand what the data is
telling them. People can more easily see trends in the virus
numbers, such as what areas are experiencing fewer cases, whether
there are any upticks, and what's happening with the numbers as
states reopen. Video >
"Language was one of the world's greatest advancements, it
catapulted humanity forward. Bringing human language to technology
surely will have a similar impact," says Sharon Daniels, CEO of Arria. "If data is the
new oil, democratizing data understanding is the way to fuel
business growth."
The pandemic isn't the only area where the collaboration between
Arria NLG and TIBCO can give people a greater understanding of the
ever-changing data that plays such a critical role in all aspects
of their lives. Businesses have begun reaping rewards as well.
Applications for businesses include pharma, finance, retail, and
general enterprise reporting – any place where dashboards are used
to provide instant access to critical information.
For example, Arria's technology is available as an add-on to
TIBCO Spotfire, enabling companies to do more in
Spotfire® with their data by going beyond visualizations —
essentially providing a new starting point for data analytics.
As a result, people at all levels within an organization will
gain a valuable understanding of what the data reveals. Business
intelligence becomes more valuable when it can be easily understood
and used by anyone across the enterprise, and not just by data
scientists. Arria's natural language generation allows individuals
to connect, communicate, and share understanding and insights that
will bridge silos across the enterprise.
"The pandemic has highlighted the need for sound data science
and fact-based insights for everyone," says Michael O'Connell, chief analytics officer for
TIBCO. "These automated written summaries from Arria provide
immediate understanding of the COVID-19 data, and a clear
distillation of insights, to guide behavior and public
policy."
