A comprehensive guide to installing Squirro on a Linux system. It covers the recommended approach, architecture overview, prerequisites, and detailed installation steps for storage and cluster nodes.
Connecting Data Sources#
Squirro leverages advanced search technologies as part of its broader capabilities, enabling efficient information retrieval and management across diverse data sources.
Processing Data#
Squirro’s data processing and classification system follows a structured sequence called the Pipeline, where connected data undergoes multiple transformation stages to become enriched, categorized, and actionable. Using AI Studio, users can easily create, train, and deploy machine learning models without requiring extensive coding knowledge.
Visualizing Data#
Squirro’s data visualizations help you understand and gain insights from your data through customizable Dashboards. These dashboards, pre-configured in applications, can be extended or created from scratch using Squirro’s drag-and-drop editor, offering nearly limitless possibilities.
Communities#
Communities in Squirro enable users to personalize their experience by following topics of interest, grouped into Community Types defined by the Project Creator. This feature allows users to identify subject areas of interest and receive tailored, relevant content, enhancing their engagement with the platform.
Search#
Squirro Search is an advanced AI and Machine Learning (ML) powered solution designed to address the limitations of traditional enterprise search by providing more relevant, intuitive, and personalized search results. Unlike conventional search methods that rely solely on keyword matching, Squirro Search combines semantic search with keyword search to understand user intent and interpret data.
Chat#
Squirro Chat is an enterprise-ready generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) application designed for organizations seeking a natural language tool to interact conversationally with their data. It operates as a secure digital assistant, allowing users to chat with organizational data or website content through an embedded interface, providing sources for its answers to ensure context and understanding.
Synaptica#
Synaptica is knowledge management software, available as a standalone product or integrated as part of a Squirro solution, designed to reinforce data categorization and classification by creating and managing Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS).
It uses an intuitive interface to leverage semantic web standards and RDF graph databases to structure taxonomies, thesauri, and other KOS types. This robust management of enterprise terminologies massively increases the accuracy and efficiency of applications, particularly enhancing enterprise-grade conversational AI experiences.
Security#
As an ISO 27001-certified organization, Squirro is fundamentally grounded in a strong emphasis on security, ensuring that client data protection is at the core of its operations. Squirro is deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy.
