2021年12月15日,波蘭總部成立語(yǔ)言服務(wù)提供商 語(yǔ)言峰會(huì)宣布收購(gòu)比利時(shí)語(yǔ)言數(shù)據(jù)提供商Datamundi。
Datamundi向NLP系統(tǒng)構(gòu)建者提供所有語(yǔ)言的語(yǔ)言數(shù)據(jù),NLP系統(tǒng)構(gòu)建者使用這些數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)創(chuàng)建和增強(qiáng)其機(jī)器翻譯(MT)引擎或優(yōu)化搜索相關(guān)性。它的客戶群以被稱為“FAMGA”的大型科技集團(tuán)為中心,F(xiàn)acebook、蘋果、微軟、谷歌和亞馬遜。
語(yǔ)言CEO峰會(huì) 克里斯托夫·茲達(dá)諾夫斯基告訴Slator,Datamundi在出售前由Gert Van Assche(管理合伙人)和他的妻子所有。他說(shuō):“Datamundi在2021年早些時(shí)候與我們聯(lián)系,當(dāng)時(shí)他們決定啟動(dòng)退出程序”,“我們的報(bào)價(jià)已被選為中標(biāo)人。”。
這筆交易將使Summa Linguae為Datamundi支付500萬(wàn)歐元(570萬(wàn)美元),或收入的2.5倍。收購(gòu)資金來(lái)自Summa Linguae自有資金——150萬(wàn)歐元股票和350萬(wàn)歐元現(xiàn)金。
Summa Linguae創(chuàng)收 2020年8850萬(wàn)茲羅提(2370萬(wàn)美元),較2019年增長(zhǎng)13.2%。Datamundi的收入減少了好幾倍,為200萬(wàn)歐元(230萬(wàn)美元)。斯萊托公司的首席執(zhí)行官表示,盡管在2021年,該公司的年收入增長(zhǎng)率保持在40%,而在2021年,該公司的年收入增長(zhǎng)率保持在50%。
根據(jù)Zdanowski的說(shuō)法,Datamundi將被整合到Summa Linguae的品牌之下,“2021年的預(yù)計(jì)合并收入在2600萬(wàn)至2700萬(wàn)美元之間。”Summa Linguae的目標(biāo)是在2022年實(shí)現(xiàn)15-20%的增長(zhǎng),與往年保持一致。
Van Assche是一位行業(yè)資深人士,他將加入Summa Linguae擔(dān)任CTO,而Datamundi的經(jīng)理、開發(fā)人員、數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)家和程序經(jīng)理也將留任。
在Datamundi與Summa Linguae取得聯(lián)系之前,兩人之前沒(méi)有任何關(guān)系,但彼此都認(rèn)識(shí),因?yàn)樗麄兊目蛻艚M合中有一個(gè)共享客戶,他們?yōu)樗麄兲峁┝瞬煌姆?wù)。
Zdanowski解釋了收購(gòu)背后的理由,他說(shuō)“Datamundi很好地補(bǔ)充了我們的數(shù)據(jù)解決方案組合?!眘ummalinguae以前專注于語(yǔ)音和圖像數(shù)據(jù),而Datamundi的唯一關(guān)注點(diǎn)是語(yǔ)言數(shù)據(jù)。
自2017年以來(lái),Summa Linguae一直將其戰(zhàn)略重點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)向數(shù)據(jù)解決方案,數(shù)據(jù)解決方案已成為業(yè)務(wù)中越來(lái)越重要的一部分。Zdanowski將收購(gòu)Datamundi形容為“這條道路上的又一個(gè)里程碑”,并表示Datamundi專注于FAMGA客戶群,這與該公司為全球大型客戶提供服務(wù)的戰(zhàn)略完全一致。
收購(gòu)加拿大總部2019年數(shù)據(jù)注釋公司Globalme,Summa Linguae已經(jīng)增加了其數(shù)據(jù)服務(wù)能力,通過(guò)Globalme交易獲得了數(shù)據(jù)收集服務(wù)、后處理平臺(tái)、專有項(xiàng)目和工作流工具以及自動(dòng)化技術(shù)。
在Summa Lingae的并購(gòu)路線圖上,Zdanowski表示,“考慮到我們股權(quán)結(jié)構(gòu)的性質(zhì)(Summa的多數(shù)股權(quán)歸PE所有),我們不能排除在2022年進(jìn)行另一次收購(gòu)。鈥 他補(bǔ)充道,鈥渨我們一直在尋找優(yōu)秀的公司來(lái)補(bǔ)充我們的投資組合。鈥
據(jù)首席執(zhí)行官說(shuō),在收購(gòu)Datamundi之后,鈥渙超過(guò)70%的舌尖鈥檚 收入將來(lái)自非本地化工作,幾乎全部來(lái)自美國(guó)客戶。鈥
Datamundi在語(yǔ)言數(shù)據(jù)方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)非常豐富。同時(shí),科學(xué)家們還引入了人工數(shù)據(jù)的標(biāo)注、自動(dòng)數(shù)據(jù)對(duì)齊和數(shù)據(jù)過(guò)濾、數(shù)據(jù)標(biāo)注和版本調(diào)整。
Zdanowski表示,對(duì)Datamundi的需求鈥檚 服務(wù)包括數(shù)據(jù)標(biāo)記、人工翻譯和機(jī)器翻譯輸出質(zhì)量評(píng)估,以及自動(dòng)數(shù)據(jù)對(duì)齊和標(biāo)記鈥渙只是在成長(zhǎng)。鈥
Datamundi有一個(gè)內(nèi)部使用的數(shù)據(jù)注釋平臺(tái)。它沒(méi)有獲得外部許可,但可以在自助服務(wù)的基礎(chǔ)上提供給客戶。該平臺(tái)作為一個(gè)生產(chǎn)環(huán)境來(lái)支持項(xiàng)目管理和自由職業(yè)者的任務(wù)。

結(jié)果表明,UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜對(duì)空氣中氙有一定的選擇分離性,利于余氣與氙分離的條件為較大流量、較低溫度、較低壓力和兩根膜串聯(lián)。 |
The result shows that UBE Polyimide Hollow Fiber Membrane has a certain selective separation characterisic for xenon in the air. Larger air flow rate, lower temperature, lower pressure and two connected membranes in series are in favor of xenon separating from air residual. |
余氣與氙的分離效果與膜的滲透能力和分離條件息息相關(guān),改變分離條件,氣體的滲透率、分離系數(shù)和滲透速率都會(huì)發(fā)生變化。 |
The separation effect of air residual and xenon is closely related to the permeability and separation conditions of the membrane. The permeability rate, separation coefficient and permeation velocity will be changed with the changing of separation conditions. |
UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜對(duì)空氣中氙的選擇性不是很好,無(wú)法將空氣中氙直接富集至很小體積。 |
The selectivity of UBE Polyimide Hollow Fiber Membrane for xenon in the air is not very good, and it can’t enrich xenon in the air to a very small volume directly. |
膜分離可作為空氣中氙的預(yù)富集手段,需結(jié)合其他富集手段才可將氙富集至較高濃度。 |
Membrane separation can be used as a preconcentration method for xenon in the air, which can be enriched to a higher concentration by combining with other enrichment methods. |

采用UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜分離法富集空氣中的氙時(shí),需要去除空氣中大量的水蒸氣、二氧化碳、氧、氮等雜質(zhì),這就需要了解其對(duì)空氣中水、二氧化碳、氧、氮、氙的滲透性能。 |
When using UBE Polyimide Hollow Fiber Membrane separation method to enrich xenon in the air, it is necessary to remove most of air impurities such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, which requires understanding the permeability for water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and xenon in the air. |
本實(shí)驗(yàn)研究了不同分離條件(空氣流量、膜溫度、氣體壓力和膜組件串聯(lián))下UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜對(duì)空氣中水、二氧化碳、氧、氮、氙的滲透速率。 |
In this expriemnet we study the permeation velocity of Ube Polyimide Hollow fiber membrane to water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and xenon in the air under different separation conditions (air flow rate, membrane temperature, air pressure and connected membrane module in series ). |
結(jié)果表明,在UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜上,二氧化碳、水和氧的滲透速率較大,氮的滲透速率次之,氙的滲透速率最小,氙與空氣中的二氧化碳、水、氧和氮有一定的選擇分離性,可在適當(dāng)條件下分離。 |
The results show that on the UBE polyimide hollow fiber membrane, the permeation velocity of carbon dioxide, water and oxygen is higher, then followed by nitrogen, and the permeation velocity of xenon is the smallest. Xenon has a certain of selective separation characteristic and can be separated from carbon dioxide, water, oxygen and nitrogen in the air under appropriate conditions. |
實(shí)驗(yàn)條件對(duì)水、二氧化碳、氧、氮、氙的滲透速率的影響都較大,通過(guò)調(diào)控分離條件,控制膜對(duì)水、二氧化碳、氧、氮、氙的滲透,實(shí)現(xiàn)脫二氧化碳、除濕、富氧、制氮等,也可以用于生產(chǎn)生活中。 |
The experimental conditions have a great influence on the permeation velocity of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and xenon. By adjusting the separation conditions, the permeation of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and xenon can be controlled to achieve carbon dioxide removal, dehumidification, oxygen enrichment and nitrogen generation, which can also be used in production and our living. |

為了解聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜分離空氣的特性,實(shí)驗(yàn)研究了空氣流量、溫度、壓力和膜組件串聯(lián)對(duì)UBE聚酰亞胺中空纖維膜滲透空氣中組分的影響。 |
In order to understand the air separation characteristics of Polyimide Hollow fiber membrane. the influence of air component permeated from UBE Polyimide Hollow fiber membrane on air flow rate, temperature, pressure and membrane modules in series are studied. |
結(jié)果表明: |
The results show that: |
空氣流量增大,滲透氣、氧、二氧化碳和水的滲透流量都增大,氮和氙的滲透流量都減??;溫度升高,滲透氣、氮、氧、氙的滲透流量都增大,水和二氧化碳的滲透流量基本不變;壓力升高,滲透氣、氮、氙、氧、水和二氧化碳的滲透流量都增大。 |
As the air flow rate increases, the permeate flow rates of permeate gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water all increase, but the permeate flow rates of nitrogen and xenon all decrease; when the temperature rises, the permeate flow rates of permeate gas, nitrogen, oxygen and xenon all increase, but the permeation flow of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide is basically unchanged. as the pressure increases, the permeation flow of permeate gas, nitrogen, xenon, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide all increase. |
串聯(lián)膜數(shù)量增加,滲透氣、氮、氙、氧、水和二氧化碳的滲透流量都增大;串聯(lián)膜中各膜對(duì)滲透氣、氧、水、二氧化碳的滲透流量依次減小,對(duì)氮和氙的滲透流量依次增大;膜對(duì)空氣中的水、二氧化碳、氧、氮和氙的滲透能力差距比較明顯,且其對(duì)空氣的滲透性與分離條件緊密相關(guān)。 |
As the number of membranes in series increases, the permeate flow rates of permeate gas, nitrogen, xenon, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide all increase. The permeate flow rate of each membrane in the membrane series for permeate gas, oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide sequentially decreases, and the permeate flow rate of nitrogen and xenon sequentially increases. The permeability gap of the membrane for water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and xenon in the air is relatively obvious, and its permeability to air is closely related to the separation conditions. |
通過(guò)調(diào)整分離條件,可以富集或滲透去除某種組分,如富氧、富氙(如較低的溫度和壓力、較大的空氣流量和適當(dāng)數(shù)量的膜)、制氮、除濕等。 |
By adjusting the separation conditions, certain components can be enriched or permeated to remove, such as oxygen enrichment, xenon enrichment (in the conditions of lower temperature and pressure, larger air flow and appropriate number of membranes), nitrogen generation, dehumidification and etc. |
