History
The foundation of Luminoso’s technology was laid in 1999. Catherine Havasi was part of an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) project in the MIT Media Lab under professor emeritus Marvin Minsky. The project's mission was to give computers "common sense". [2]
This team along with Havasi’s collaborator, Pushpiner Singh, built the “Open Mind Common Sense” (OMCS) project. This cloud-based crowdsourcing tool collected information from the Internet and put it into a database. This database contained words definitions and the relation between these words. [3]
Networks called ConceptNet and AnalogySpace connected these concepts and inferred new knowledge. The database($link) is freely accesible.[4]
Initially, Luminoso's job was to provide a graphic interface and analytics engine for this project but this technology evolved into analyzing text data. [5]
Luminoso was launched through the MIT’s Venture Mentoring Service. [6]
Investments
Luminoso raised $1.5m in Feb 2013 from On Grid Ventures and George Kassabgi. [7]
Luminoso also raised $6.5m in July 2014 from Acadia Wood Partners, Digital Garage and On Grid Ventures. [8]
