After 12 years in IT, and more recently 6 years in the UK, helping customers who’s businesses are heavily reliant on quality information and tapping into the value of that information, I join the SpringSense team.SpringSense is a patent pending technology that helps computers more accurately recognise the meaning of text, using context rather than relying solely on keywords.Not only is it more accurate, it eliminates the need for people to adapt their thinking to the way computers work in order to be understood. By using context to decipher meaning, SpringSense makes it easier for people to be understood whilst entering text the way they would normally write.SpringSense achieves this improved accuracy through a proprietary Word Sense Disambiguation technology that out performs the current state of the art alternatives, having the highest accuracy of any fine-sense disambiguator. Disambiguating an identical set of word pairs, SpringSense has a 90% success rate compared to 47% for the Modified Lesk method that up to now was the leading unsupervised WordNet based disambiguation technology. The SpringSense meaning recognition algorithm works in linear time. Thus SpringSense can uniquely be scaled for use in high-volume applications such as search. Customer trials and implementations have shown a dramatic increase in search results enabling users to instantly retrieve that data they had requested without scanning cascaded results and possible meanings.With partnerships both in the UK and US we will ensure that SpringSense provides users with the search results they want!Key responsibilities:• Report to senior management on sales strategies & targets• Contribute to online & social media marketing • Implementing sales development strategies• Identify new business opportunities,develop sales & partnership opportunities • Developing relationships with resellers & distributors• Develop & maintain relationships with current & potential business partners
