Monster Uses Semantic Technology To Improve Connectivity
The familiar job opportunity site, Monster, recently announced that the company’s 6Sense® semantic search technology which is behind Power Resume Search™, is now available in the Netherlands. This means recruiters in seven countries can now quickly and precisely find and target candidates who best meet their hiring needs. The team at Monster worked on the 6Sense knowledge base for over two years prior to launch of the beta phase, which included extensive testing and feedback from a variety of clients and searches.
Semantic Solutions
Ontology Systems has recently launched two semantic search solutions targeted for the financial services industry. In addition, they have announced the appointment of Andrea Harding to lead adoption of the solutions by financial services providers.
What Men and Women Want Most
Siri is fun to play with - ask her what the meaning of life is sometime - but I am still not sure she offers real, usable information that a quick internet search wouldn't give me, and I wouldn't have to repeat three times. However, people like Tim Berners-Lee dream of a time when you could ask inocuious questions like where to take your spouse for dinner and receive a response based on natural language processing and what I call insight. Insight into the food preferences of both you and your spouse, restaurants nearby and their table availability. The latter two are not as difficult, but insight would be an achievement that most men would like to possess on their own.
Content Enrichment Integration
TEMIS has completed a conclusive series of tests of its flagship Luxid® Content Enrichment Platform on Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Azure. This is a signficant step towards customer application deployments on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.
Semantic Web and Natural Language
Natural language user interfaces are becoming more and more popular. Creations like Siri promise to improve every facet of our lives from emergency situations to shopping. The semantic web has birthed this phenomonaly successful technology. Through the use of standardized tags and formats, the semantic web builds a framework where content on the web has machine-understandable meaning. This takes it many steps past simply being searchable by keyword.
SharePoint To The Rescue
SharePoint users frequently share their biggest challenges in using the content management software. That list often contains problems with end user adoption, the inability to define and enforce adequate governance policies and procedures, and getting proper support. Not understanding how important taxonomies are to the overall success of SharePoint can often be at the core of these frustrations.
Machine Learning
Tonight I was doing laundry while my husband was watching television in the other room. I am used to hearing words like military, marcupial, or wooly mammoth coming from his preferred viewing channels -- History, Discovery, or PBS. It took me a few minutes to realize what I was hearing sounded way too familiar to my world. Words like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and semantic technology came wafting through the house. I soon discovered the program was a NOVA feature, "Smartest Machine on Earth" on our local PBS channel.
A Different Kind of Intelligence
We have heard of business intelligence, but what is clinical intelligence? It is a research and engineering discipline dedicated to the development of tools for data analysis. These tools are used for clinical research, surveillance, and effective health care management.
