NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Arria NLG
(AIM: NLG), a world leader in artificial intelligence ("AI") and
natural language generation ("NLG"), and GeoCosmo Sciences SPC
("GeoCosmo"), a global project based out of NASA's Ames Research
Park in California, is pleased to
announce a partnership to build precision NLG capabilities into the
GeoCosmo Earthquake Forecasting Service™ to improve
communication and advance notification of the deadliest natural
disasters.
GeoCosmo, a leader in the earth quake forecasting community, is
on a mission to bring life-changing safety technology to at-risk
populations. To date, GeoCosmo has forecasted 22 out of 22 3.1
magnitude and above earthquakes in their South American test area
since sensors were deployed in 2012. They are currently developing
forecasting services that will be able to detect major earthquakes
days and weeks ahead of their occurrence. GeoCosmo's new technology
leverages semiconductor physics, satellites and big data algorithms
to pick up detectable precursory signals from Earth's tectonic
plates, and identify disasters before they happen.
With Arria's partnership, GeoCosmo will be able to bridge the
data distance between semiconductor physics and plain language.
Arria's technology will be used to automate the analysis of seismic
event data and report on large data sets in real time. Such reports
and dynamic dashboards, in English and other languages can include
status and alerts for dissemination to appropriate authorities,
media and populations.
Earthquakes are the deadliest of all natural disasters – over
the last 100 years, they have caused millions of deaths and cost
the global economy trillions of dollars. Just this past month, over
290 people were killed in a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in
Italy.
Charles Gonzales, Chief
Executive Officer of GeoCosmo, said: "This technology will
improve the way we travel and interact with the earth. Not only
will this add an incredible safety feature to society both locally
and globally, it will provide time to prepare for potentially
devastating seismic disasters and protect local and global
communities – something we have been unable to do until now."

Sharon Daniels, Chairman and
Interim Chief Executive Officer of Arria NLG, commented:
"Through this relationship with GeoCosmo, Arria's platform will
soon be able to interpret complex sources of scientific data to
communicate incredibly valuable information to affected
communities. Arria is committed to this kind of mission-based
strategic partnership that uses AI to accelerate the way we
understand, interpret and share information to improve the way we
live."
