MEANING

May 30, 2002 | Projects

- PROJECT CLOSED

MEANING will be concerned with automatically collecting and analysing language data from the WWW on a large scale, and building more comprehensive multilingual lexical knowledge bases to support improved word sense disambiguation (WSD). Current web access applications are based on words; MEANING will open the way for access to the Multilingual Web based on concepts, providing applications with capabilities that significantly exceed those currently available. MEANING will facilitate development of concept-based open domain Internet applications (such as Question/Answering, Cross Lingual Information Retrieval, Summarisation, Text Categorisation, Event Tracking, Information Extraction, Machine Translation, etc.). Furthermore, MEANING will supply a common conceptual structure to Internet documents, thus facilitating knowledge management of web content.

A special evening in Rome to talk about Physical AI and Europe’s role in shaping this new frontier.

Partners from across Europe came together to present the DVPS project, and connect with key people from public institutions, embassies, industries, national & international media.
