Our company originated on the basis of
a creative group of scholars brought together by common goals, such as
joint work on scientific and application projects, as well as traditional
methods, including questionnaire tests on large samples, focus-groups,
psycho-semantic technologies, etc.
Seeing the limitations of traditional
methods, our company that consists of specialists in sociology,
psychology, applied mathematics,
in 1997 started working on an original method that would consequently
and fully exercise the semantic (sense) approach to the mentioned objectives.
The method received the name of Semantic
Analysis. It was originally decided to maximally formalize the
method so that it would yield valid results. That is only possible by
means of computer technologies. So we immediately started development
of our own computer software.
Throughout the 6 years of its existence
the method has undergone sufficient improvement and development. Each
stage of its development contained detailed multifold experimental testing
both of the method itself and the software developed.
The
method was employed in a number of research projects in spheres of sociology,
marketing, advertisement, political studies, ethnography, psychology,
gender studies, psycholinguistics, court psychology, psychoendocrinology,
sports, and others. The projects have been conducted both on commercial
and academic bases (Russian State Scientific Fund; Russian Fund for Fundamental
Research).
This technology has served a source for
2 Candidate of Science theses (in sociology and psychology), more than
30 successful student course papers with the Faculty of Sociology of Altai
State University.
Our company continues further development
of technology, methods and software for the method of Semantic Analysis,
and it keeps broadening its application opportunities. We are looking
forward to cooperation with specialists from different spheres.
