Celatro is a collection of sophisticated pattern matching and data mining technologies designed to be quickly and easily embedded into other software applications. The Celatro core library consists of components that cover a wide range of data mining needs. Additional specialized plug-in components, such as Arabic Name Search™, are also available. Celatro's pattern matching algorithms work against both structured and unstructured text, and are highly tuned and easy to use, so that your application end users spend their time working with results rather than trying to find them.

Celatro technology addresses needs common to any software application that needs to quickly find data. Celatro's exact-match and unstructured tokenization routines have superior performance (in some cases, over twelve times faster) to comparable routines in other products. More impressively, Celatro offers a wide array of techniques for finding data that is close to what you are looking for. Known as inexact matching, these capabilities allow Celatro to find data overlooked by other software. Celatro's ability to identify hard-to-match data items has made possible our success providing counter-crime and counter-terrorism capabilities to federal and state agencies for over 20years.

Each component in Celatro has been engineered not only for optimized performance, but also so it interacts seamlessly with the rest of the library. As a result, Celatro components are able to leverage each other's capabilities, and smoothly operate with one another using common interfaces and abstracted data collections. For example, lexical data in Celatro can be processed using alphabets, tokenizers, stemmers, phonetic similarity scorers, score aggregators, etc., each of which can feed data to the other. These components are available in language specific versions, e.g., English alphabets, Chinese tokenizers, etc. Furthermore, customizable versions of each component have been specifically developed to allow you to create behaviors specific to your needs. This customization can even occur at run time, allowing you to iteratively improve your pattern matching abilities as additional knowledge is gained regarding your problem domain, or when new data becomes available.

In addition to the core library, Celatro provides several additional plug-in components that provide specialized behavior for specific problem domains.
