About Our Name

Our company name, Recommind, represents the powerful combination of technology and human intuition. We utilize technology to instantly and accurately recommend the correct information or expertise that the user has in mind. Similarly, the Recommind logo signifies the extraction of the exact piece of information or expertise a user seeks from the vast universe of available data.

Where We Started

After years of research at MIT and the University of California, Berkeley in the fields of machine learning, text mining and multimedia information retrieval, Dr. Jan Puzicha recognized that legacy technologies simply would not be able to handle the avalanche of information organizations must process in an accurate and easy-to-use manner.

The missing component of information retrieval is context. How do I know what this piece of information is about? What makes that information valuable? Is this information pertinent to my needs? These are the questions that earlier information management tools could not deal adequately with, observed Puzicha.

Benefiting from intense scrutiny in a world-class research environment, Dr. Puzicha developed and later patented Recommind's completely unique CORE (Context Optimized Relevance Engine) technology that directly addresses these questions. Dr. Puzicha teamed with co-founder Derek Schueren and entrepreneur Bob Tennant to form Recommind in 2000.  This dynamic team brought the powerful CORE technology to market to address some of the most vexing search, classification, eDiscovery and compliance challenges facing today's large enterprises.
