Longview International Inc.

Longview International Inc. (LVI) is a Los Altos, California-based artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) company specializing in advanced text analytics for defense and intelligence applications. The company develops lifted probabilistic inference algorithms using Markov Logic Networks (MLN) to enhance the scalability and accuracy of automated knowledge extraction from unstructured text. LVI's technology enables joint inferencing over cross-document and multiple knowledge bases, combining record segmentation, co-reference resolution, and entity resolution in a unified process rather than a sequential pipeline. In partnership with Wake Forest University, LVI built an end-to-end prototype for automated knowledge base construction using abductive reasoning, the Stanford Dependency Parser, and 'distance supervision' from external linked data sources such as DBpedia and YAGO. Applications span entity identification, relationship discovery, social network analysis, object recognition, link prediction, activity recognition, and bio-medical relational reasoning. LVI received a U.S. Air Force STTR Phase I award in 2014 and a Phase II award of $744,269 in 2015 (contract FA8750-15-C-0003), with principal investigator Homa Yazdani. The company brings deep expertise in Semantic Web AI technologies, ontology alignment, machine learning, and OLAP for intelligence applications.
