ConceptMiner Concept Index

ConceptMiner Concept Index

Search and classify free-text data by “concept” inside your existing PostgreSQL database.

Without introducing a new vector database or graph database, Concept Index enables you to extract semantically similar groups from VoC data, inquiry histories, free-text survey responses, sales notes, project summaries, and other business records.

Concept Index is scheduled for release in August 2026. The initial supported database is PostgreSQL.

DB
Existing RDB Business data stored in PostgreSQL
TXT
Analyze Text Columns Free text, inquiries, and business notes
AI
Generate Concept Nodes Structure semantic groups using GNG + MST
IDX
Add Concept Index Assign node IDs and neighborhood information to each record
SQL
Extract in RDB Search similar groups and concept-based segments
Problem

Free-text data is difficult to use, even when it is already stored in an RDB.

Companies accumulate large amounts of valuable text data, such as customer feedback, inquiry histories, sales notes, and survey responses. However, conventional RDBs make it difficult to handle “semantic similarity” that cannot be captured by keyword search or fixed categories.

The Limit of Keyword Search Records with the same meaning may not be found when they use different wording.
The Limit of Manual Classification Manual classification takes time and depends heavily on individual judgment.
The Burden of Introducing a New Database Adding a vector database or graph database can make operations more complex.
Solution

Concept Index assigns “concept nodes” to each record.

Concept Index analyzes business data that includes text columns and organizes records with similar meanings into concept nodes. As a result, each record gains information not only as an ID or category, but also as a member of a specific concept group.

Existing RDB Business data stored in PostgreSQL or similar databases
Embedding Represent text columns as semantic vectors
GNG + MST Learn concept structures from semantically similar data groups
Node Assignment Add concept node IDs to each record
RDB Search Extract similar groups and neighboring nodes using SQL
Use Cases

Designed for these types of business data.

Concept Index is suitable when you want to extract groups of data that are semantically similar but difficult to find through keywords alone.

💬

VoC Analysis

Extract customer groups with similar complaints, requests, or expectations, and use them for product and service improvement.

📩

Inquiry Histories

Identify similar consultation topics and recurring trouble patterns to improve response quality.

📝

Free-text Survey Responses

Organize respondents’ interests, concerns, and expectations as meaningful semantic groups.

🤝

Sales Notes

Extract similar sales patterns and deal types to support the knowledgeization of sales activities.

📂

Project Summaries

Refer to past similar projects by concept and use them as material for proposals and decision-making.

🧭

Business Data Exploration

Discover latent patterns in operational data that are difficult to see through fixed categories.

Important

This is not RAG. Concept Index is designed to find similar data groups, not individual answers.

Concept Index is not a search engine for returning pinpoint documents in response to a question. Its purpose is to extract conceptually similar groups and segments from records that include free-text data. If you want to build a question-answering system or knowledge base, please use ThinkNavi Knowledge Base Builder instead.

Difference

From Top-K search to concept-based segment extraction.

Concept Index is not designed to search for the nearest document one by one. Instead, it uses pre-built concept nodes and neighborhood relationships to handle business-meaningful groups of data.

Comparison Item General Vector Search Concept Index
Main Purpose Find documents close to a query Extract semantically similar data groups
Data Infrastructure Often requires an additional vector database or dedicated infrastructure Uses existing RDB infrastructure
Search Unit Individual documents or individual records Concept nodes, neighboring nodes, and segments
Suitable Uses RAG, FAQ, document search VoC analysis, survey classification, project group extraction
Delivery

Connector-based delivery for easy integration into existing environments.

Concept Index is introduced by adding a concept index to the existing RDB where your business data is stored. Rather than building a large new AI infrastructure, it extends the way you can use your current database.

🖥️

Windows / Linux Support

Provided as an executable file to reduce the burden of setting up a Python environment.

🔑

Set API Key and DB Connection Information

Specify the target table or View and run the concept index construction process.

🧩

Write Results Back to the RDB

Make concept node IDs, neighborhood relationships, and classification results available inside the RDB.

Roadmap

In the future, extract concept-based segments using natural language.

As a future extension, we are considering Concept Query, a feature that allows users to specify complex segment conditions in natural language.

Customers with high profitability but also high churn risk

Concept-based customer extraction that combines quantitative data with free-text data.

Groups with low price sensitivity and strong premium orientation

Discovery of purchasing tendencies that are difficult to see through simple attribute classification.

Segments with many inquiries but also high satisfaction

Understand not only problem frequency, but also improvement potential and relationship strength.

※ Concept Query is currently under consideration as a future extension.
