Lineage information

Every individual now has a "History" tab, which contains a full record of the entity's lineage, including changes to an entity's type, and any new or updated attributes (both properties and links). Selecting any individual change allows provenance information to be viewed (the sources of a piece of information, as well as context regarding how it was derived, and by who or what).

Advanced research capabilities

• →

  Research workers now ask questions: if a research goal is now imprecise, or the need for more clarity is realized during runtime, flows will now pause and ask the user for more input.

• →

  Improved handling of data types: a new approach to entity inference has reduced instances of data type conflation.

• →

  Improved coreference resolution: information about entities in text is more comprehensively and completely captured as structured triples.

• →

  Multi-source entites: workers are now far more capable of stitching together information about entities from multiple sources, combining references into single output entities.

• →

  Fewer duplicate entities: improved duplicate detection results in fewer redundant entities being created as a result of research jobs the first place.

• →

  Inferred entities now include provenance information: PDFs encountered during the process are also saved to the user's graph and can be retrospected at any time.

• →

  Research tasks can now infer entities client-side: using the cookies from a user's browser, workers can now scrape authenticated sites (e.g. paywalled news websites, or platforms like LinkedIn/Twitter).

• →

  More informative “Activity Log”: more items now appear in the activity log while a flow is running, providing greater realtime insight into ongoing research jobs

Autonomous research

AI workers are already used in HASH for monitoring and managing flows. However, we recently introduced the ability for them to conduct goal-driven, autonomously-directed research, as well.

When provided with a goal, AI workers in HASH will utilize the world wide web, and/or any additional sources you provide them with access to, in order to:

• →

  Bootstrap a knowledge graph: populate a new web with entities and types around a specific topic or domain

• →

  Check, and grow your existing web: enrich entities within a web with new information, check the validity of existing data, and identify additional entities and links that relate to those already in your web

• →

  Go deep and map out specific topics: hydrate your web with detailed information regarding any matter you choose, automatically identifying and structuring important information

To specify a new research goal, click the "Workers" tab in the left-hand navigational sidebar in HASH, and click "Goals".

Calculation capabilities

AI workers are capable not only of gathering information, cross-checking it, and verifying its reliability, but also utilizing that information to calculate novel statistics and derive new metrics.

Automate anything

You can now build your own flows in HASH, automating processes without leaving the application.

As your HASH web builds itself, flows can be set up to:

• →

  enrich entities with additional information;

• →

  quality-check or further-verify information added to your web;

• →

  process entities according to an algorithm (e.g. implement "lead scoring");

• →

  synchronize information with your own systems or third-party applications (via built-in integrations, or using webhooks).

Press the "Workers" tab in your left-hand sidebar in HASH to get started, and then click on the "Flows" link beneath it.

Draft updates

In a previous update, we introduced the ability for new entities to be added to a queue rather than created directly in a user's web.

We've improved this functionality by allowing proposed updates to existing entities to be held in this queue for review, as well.

Action queue

Suggested updates and draft entities can now be found in your inbox under the "Actions" tab, which contains a queue of all items in HASH requiring action. This replaces the Drafts tab in HASH's sidebar.

See drafts in the Browser Extension

The HASH Browser Extension now shows a "draft" icon next to proposed entities held in a user's actions queue, distinguishing them from those added directly to a user's graph.
