Semantic Computing Laboratory

The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation and matching of the semantics of computational content to that of naturally expressed user intentions in order to retrieve, manage, manipulate or even create content, where "content" may be anything including video, audio, text, process, service, hardware, network, community, etc.

The connection between content and user intentions may be made via (1) semantic analysis, that convert content into machine processable semantics; (2) semantic integration, that integrates content and semantics from multiple sources; (3) semantic applications, that utilize content and semantics to solve problems; (4) semantic services, that integrate multiple applications and services into more complex services; and (5) semantic interface, that catptures and interprets users' intentions.

Our research is focused on a part of the above five layers, including:

n    SemanticObjects, a database framework that supports SNL (Structured Natural Language)

n    Semantic Software, that supports an SNL interface and SNL-based programming

n    Semantic real-time web service composition based on SNL queries

n    Semantic software engineering, that streamlines software development process at a reduced cost

n    Semantic search, that generates accurate results for problems expressed in natural language
