Based on the philosophy of the Semantic Web, Ontotext exploits text processing and automatic reasoning technologies to extract knowledge from texts and organise it conceptually in an ontology. Unlike common search engines, the Ontotext Portal directly accesses the concepts and entities of the ontology and presents the user with structured information instead of mere portions of texts. For each entity, the Ontotext Portal offers four different views: Articles (lists all the documents in which it is mentioned), Citografo (shows how often it is mentioned), Opinions (shows how often opinions are expressed about it), and Record (provides extra information about it).

: "FlexiSLM: A Dynamic and Controllable Frame Rate Spoken Language Model" by Jiaqi Li, Chaoren Wang, Xiaohai Tian, Mingjie Chen, Xinyu Liang, Xu Li, Yufan Lin, Junwen Qiu, Jun Zhang, Lu Lu, Haizhou Li and @drwuz
#SLM #EfficientInference
Cool to see a work that adaptively chooses at inference how much to compress the input speech sequence, to control inference costs and quality based on the input, without enforcing a global trade-off to each segment: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.31247
