Introducing Yewno
• Yewno is a Silicon Valley head quartered company, with offices in London and New
York
• The underpinning technology was borne from research in Kings College in 2009
from Ruggero Gramatica, CEO & Founder.
• Original research leading to the development of the technology was in the field of
‘econophysics’ – or using applied mathematics to understand the economics.
• Instead of using solely quantitative information to derive understanding, Ruggero’s
research combined this with the application of advanced techniques in
computational semantics to derive analysis.
• Yewno Discover was developed in collaboration with Stanford University in the US.

How does Yewno Discover work?
Analyze:
• We use a powerful combination of next generation computational semantics, graph
theory, and machine learning to analyze full text content
• We extract meaning from the text in the form of ‘concepts’
• The concepts are mapped to show correlations among them
• We have ingested a large amount of high quality scholarly information
• There are no taxonomies or ontologies employed
• There is no indexing or keyword mapping and no human curating of content
Reveal:
• We unveil a pool of connected knowledge through our unique visualisation.
• Users can view information as ‘snippets’ of highly relevant text, or link to the documents
containing concepts.
• Allowing users to;
• serendipitously explore knowledge
• efficiently explore in a deeper way
• find unexpected correlations and connections
