Expected Results

Posted February 22, 2010

In order to reach its ambitious scientific and technological objectives, advanced research is required in the LivingKnowledge project.

This includes research in the following areas:

- extraction of facts and entities from web pages and documents; opinion mining; integration of related and complementary knowledge fragments obtained from different sources;
- understanding the interdisciplinary foundations of diversity and bias expressed in text and multimedia; analysing ideological positions in content sources through text and multi-modal analysis, analysing provenance and lineage in such a way as to provide sufficient context and hints about evolution of knowledge;
- analysis of the evolution of classification patterns and hierarchies; opinion evolution; diversity-aware knowledge representation; algorithms for taking evolution of knowledge into account for retrieval and clustering of information;
- information aggregation and summarisation; switching from document search to retrieval of factual knowledge, providing factual answers together with supporting documents; enabling searches with reference to the past, present and/or future; clustering of search results based on diversity / viewpoints; ranking of search results not only on popularity, but also on diversity and coverage of opinion.
