nexmin term

Cortex

Cortex is the name of nexmin’s AI engine: the system that transcribes, describes and analyses each session, and that includes Scriba and Pensa.

When you start the analysis of a session, Cortex runs several steps in sequence: the transcript, speaker identification, Scriba’s summary, the working hypotheses, the process variables, observations about the voice and Pensa’s process reading. The theoretical framework you choose for the session shapes the summary, the hypotheses and the process reading, and the instructions in the person’s record are added to the summary and the process reading.

Fictitious example

In a person’s record, under “Instructions for Cortex”, you write: “Bilingual; sometimes switches to Catalan. Do not treat this as a change of topic.” From the next session on, that note is added to the context used to prepare the summary and the process reading.

What to check

  • Which theoretical framework is selected before you start the analysis: it shapes the summary, hypotheses and process reading for that session.
  • That the instructions in the record are still relevant, since they apply to every session you analyse afterwards.

Inside nexmin

Each person’s record has a section with its name, “Instructions for Cortex”.

Limit

What Cortex prepares depends on the source material. Noisy audio or overlapping voices produce drafts with more errors.
