The science behind the solution.

Tellagence is consumer intelligence software built on years of original research, published on arXiv with Villanova University and Portland State University. It solves one problem: making what people say in public reliable enough to decide on.

Most AI tools are wrappers. They take an existing large language model and build a layer on top. These give you an answer, but face some fundamental limitations: unpredictable outputs, poor performance on chaotic real-world data, and results that change every time you run the same query.

At Tellagence, we took a different path. Starting in 2011, Nitin Mayande and his team set out to build something the field didn’t yet have: a deterministic contextual intelligence framework. One that doesn’t have to guess, and can give you the same answer twice.

Up to 30% improvement in data quality. Verified across three independent datasets.

The research

Two research papers, published on arXiv with Villanova University and Portland State University. Together they measure the reliability problem in AI text analysis and prove the framework that fixes it.

Your AI isn't confused. It just never had the right context.

Consistency Analysis of Sentiment Predictions Using Syntactic & Semantic Context Assessment Summarization (SSAS)

The AI sentiment analysis you’ve been using gives different answers every time. Our contextual intelligence research measured the problem. Then we solved it: a deterministic framework returns the same answer on the same data every time it runs.

FAQ

Questions about the research

Why do AI sentiment tools give different answers to the same question?

Most AI tools are wrappers around a large language model, and those models are not deterministic: run the same query twice and the output can change. Our research measured that inconsistency.

What is deterministic contextual intelligence?

It is the framework behind Tellagence. It assesses the syntactic and semantic context of each piece of text before classifying it, so the same data returns the same answer every time it runs.

How much does it improve results?

Up to a 30% improvement in data quality, verified across three independent datasets.

Who did the research?

Tellagence researchers Shreeya Verma Kathuria, Nitin Mayande and Sharookh Daruwalla, with Nitin Joglekar of Villanova University and Charles Weber of Portland State University. Both papers were published on arXiv in April 2026.
