Title
Cycorp, Inc.
Description
Cycorp, Inc., based in Austin, Texas was founded by computer science pioneer and Stanford professor Douglas Lenat. In 1984 Lenat went on leave from Stanford to serve as Principal Scientist of the first computer-related consortium in the United States, MCC (The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation), and began the Cyc project. The Cyc project's objective was to codify, in machine-usable form, the millions of pieces of knowledge that comprise human common sense. In 1994 Lenat and the Cyc Project left MCC to form Cycorp.
The Cyc project under Cycorp experienced dramatic growth. Our common sense knowledge base, and our associated reasoning system, is now being used to enable the development of knowledge-intensive applications.
Cyc is the only developed Knowledge Base of its kind in the world. When combined with the Cyc Inference Engine, it provides the Cyc-application user with unique competitive advantages.
