It has been some time since my last post and not much has changed with semantic technology except that business slowed for many. Tom Adi and I have been busy with pending publications, one of which was announced here. That article has all the details of the algorithms and information technology that were derived from [...]

Identifying the Rudiments of Thot

I have heard it said that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. The original line comes from Shakespeare’s famous play about Romeo and Juliet:
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
According to scholars: Juliet, prevented from marrying Romeo by the feud between [...]

The Keys to Relevance
Posted in Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, abstraction, tagged fundamental quanta, semiotic symbol on Thursday, November 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A key is a fundamental or central operative of harmony. The connexion of relevance is recognized concordantly.
A quick read of popular technology news and review sites– gives one the impression that the trouble people have with search engines– those called semantic search engines and all other search engines too– is the relevance of the [...]
Semantic Maps, Meaning, and other Nebulous Notions

A semantic map is a pattern imposed on reality or experience to assist in explaining it, mediating perception, or guiding response. That is the conception of a semantic map I want the reader to have in mind as we continue.
Only Two Routes to Semantic Search?

Peter Mika recently wrote an article about the semantic web and NLP-style semantic search. I should just ignore his claim that there are only two roads to semantic search because he is plainly mistaken on that count. As Peter works for Yahoo, he was mainly discussing data processing with RDF and [...]
On the Semantics of Interpersonal Relationships

I would like to address the few questions I received on the three parts 1,2 and 3 of the semantics of interpersonal relations. The first and most obvious questions was:
I don’t get it. What are the semantics?
This question is about the actual semantic rules that I did not state fully or formally in any [...]
The Semantics of Interpersonal Relations (Part 2)

In part 1, I offered some context and my definition of ’semantics’ as being the system of relationships that are important or significant to people and which are symptomatic of human experience. In this part, I will flush out what this means.
Though most people may be familiar with that famous quote: I think, therefore [...]
The Semantics of Interpersonal Relations (Part 1)
Posted in Intelligence, Perception, Semantic Search, abstraction, intelligent search on Friday, January 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I promised in the last post that I could offer a solution to the disconnect between what search engines locate and what people think is relevant. Now there is nothing wrong with search engines as long as you know what you are looking for and it has a uniquely relevant name or handle. Some [...]
