X-Search
The first Worldwide Expert Discovery Engine
PRESANS has been developing X-Search over a period of four years. X-Search is the first worldwide expert search and discovery engine, and aims to better serve you with innovative solutions. X-Search relies on patent-pending technologies developed in partnership with leading institutions such as the Ecole Polytechnique.
Expertise profiling and competence mapping
X-Search has analyzed several hundreds of millions of scientific documents and has automatically built the profiles of over a million experts in the world.
The revolutionary technology of web-mining that we have developed performs a worldwide automatic mapping of skills and expertise, based on inputs that include research center corporate websites, scientific publications, patents etc. The X-Search self-generated database now contains over a million expert profiles, with a focus on Europe, Northern America, India, China and Brazil.
From searching to exploring
X-Search brings intuition and relevance into expert search.
A database of a million experts is useless unless you have the tools to identify and qualify the most relevant ones to address your particular need. We’ve also developed amazing algorithms to find and discover the most relevant experts to address the very specific needs of our clients: beyond the simple keyword search, the system suggests experts based on intuitive criteria defined by the user.
