Abstract
“The Scientific Method means that theories are developed to explain observed phenomena— similar to the task of text [...]

When the Passion for Search Technology meets the Logic of Inquiry.

Search. I suppose there is no denying that the word “search” ascended to significance in the consciousness of more people since the birth of Information Science than perhaps at any other time in history. This supposition is supported by a recent Pew Foundation internet study stating that:
The percentage of internet users who use [...]
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 [...]
Semantic Acuity and Semantic Search
Posted in Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, intelligent search on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In looking at the comments of the last post The Search for Semantic Search, I see there appears to be some interesting interpretations. Let me explain my motives, address any perceived bias and clarify my position.
Alex Iskold wrote about semantic search that we were asking the wrong questions; that it was essentially the root [...]
The Search for Semantic Search

In a recent Read Write Web article that was much more myth than reality, Alex Iskold posits the fact that a semantic search engine must dethrone Google (myth1). Fortunately by the end of his article he concludes that he was mislead into thinking that. I do not think he was misled at [...]
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 1)

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 [...]
Summer Heat and Semantic Search.
Posted in Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, intelligent search on Sunday, July 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Things do heat up in the summer time and some say there is some competition brewing among Natural Language vendors that are offering search services.
Over at the Conceptualist, Sahar Sarid comments on whether 30 years of research is enough to beat Google. Citing Michael Reisman for MIT Technology, he thinks semantic search is [...]
The Semantics of Recognizing the Error of Our Ways.
Posted in Influence, Perception, Semantic Models, Semantic Search, abstraction, intelligent search on Tuesday, July 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
How important do you think that it is to recognize when you are about to make an error? If you rate it as pretty important to you, then you will agree that that sort of recognition would be something very meaningful. The very act of distinguishing the error is of perceptual significance [...]
Semantic Search on RSS feeds at Feedster
Posted in Semantic Search, intelligent search on Saturday, June 30, 2007 | 4 Comments »
The world of semantic searching just got a little bigger thanks to some pretty savvy investors and talented scientists and computational engineers over at Feedster. My hat is off to them.
Applying semantic search to raw RSS feeds is very challenging and is no small undertaking. Feedster has more than three hundred million [...]
