Computers Learning Like Humans
Scientists are trying to find a new way for computers to learn over time and start analyzing information in more human-like ways. A little scary, but sounds a lot like semantic technology to me.
Another Use of Semantic Technology
A new partnership between Content Analyst and TCDI will incorporate Content Analyst Analytics Technology (CAAT) into TCDI’s proprietary e-discovery application suites: Discovery WorkFlow and ClarVergence.
Where Are They Now?
Tech companies come and go. There are always tech savvy entrepreneurs with big ideas looking to fill a need in the market and investors looking to get the huge returns that only come from investing in tech startups. But tech is risky, markets are volatile, and oftentimes what seems like a good idea is not always as good once implemented in the real world. A good example of this is the dot com boom and subsequent bust in the early 21st century. You could get funding on a back of the envelop business plan. Billions of dollars were invested in tech startups with big ideas and big dreams. Many of these dreams were shattered when investors realized they were not getting the same returns they had hoped.
Book Review: Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies
iProgrammer reviews the book Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies by Pascal Hitzler, Markus Krötzsch & Sebastian Rudolph. The reviewer points out that the book is an academic book and though very approachable, will deliver what you would expect from an academic book.
The Semantic Web in Specific Enterprise Technologies
IE as in Information Extraction, not the other one, is defined in the book Semantic Web Technologies: Trends and Research in Ontology-based Systems, John Davies, Rudi Studer, and Paul Warren define this type of IE as “a technology based on analyzing natural language in order to extract snippets of information.”
Are Computers Any Match For Human Intelligence?
Computer’s biggest challenge is unraveling semantics, understanding the meaning of language. Beyond the actual definition, context impacts everything. A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University has been working since the beginning of the year on fine-tuning a computer system that is trying to master semantics by learning more like a human.
Clashing the Old With the New
Yearning for the Dewey Decimal System to guide him through the Internet, this blogger shares his unique and humorous perspective about the information superhighway. Believing that the more precisely we can describe things, the more precisely people will be able to find what they need.
Defining and Contrasting Cloud vs. Host
Cloud computing, though relatively new, is becoming common on the tongues of most technological gurus. But what is “cloud” computing, and how does it differ from “hosted?” The blog Enterprise Irregulars attempts to explain this sometimes nebulous topic (pun totally intended).
Consumer Products Getting a Machine Assigned Reputation
Consumer-generated content continues to grow at a rapid pace. Much of this is caused by online purchases and the consumer reviews/ratings spurred by that growth. So it should be no surprise that marketers are spending a great deal of their time trying to monitor and manage the online consumer-generated information, and many are using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
