Semantic Computing

Building the next generation of meaning-aware computational systems that understand context, relationships, and the deeper meaning behind data.

Research Overview

Our Semantic Computing research focuses on creating computational systems that can understand and work with meaning, not just data. We're developing the foundational technologies for the next generation of AI systems that can truly comprehend context, relationships, and the deeper significance of information.

By combining insights from linguistics, cognitive science, and computer science, we're building systems that can reason about meaning, understand ambiguity, and make contextually appropriate decisions.

Key Research Areas

Meaning-Aware Systems

Developing computational systems that can understand and manipulate meaning, going beyond pattern matching to true semantic understanding.

Contextual Reasoning

Building systems that can reason about context and adapt their understanding based on situational factors and background knowledge.

Semantic Integration

Creating frameworks for integrating information from multiple sources while preserving and leveraging semantic relationships.

Ambiguity Resolution

Developing techniques for handling and resolving ambiguity in natural language and other forms of human communication.

Semantic Search

Building search systems that understand the intent and meaning behind queries, not just the words used to express them.

Knowledge Discovery

Creating systems that can discover new knowledge and insights by understanding the semantic relationships in existing information.

Applications

Intelligent Information Systems

Our semantic computing technologies are enabling the development of information systems that can understand user intent, provide contextually relevant results, and adapt to individual preferences and needs.

Automated Reasoning

We're building systems that can perform complex reasoning tasks by understanding the meaning and relationships in knowledge bases, enabling automated decision-making and problem-solving.

Content Understanding

Our semantic computing approaches are advancing the ability of systems to understand and work with content across multiple modalities, including text, images, and audio.

Personalized AI

By understanding the semantic context of user interactions, we're enabling the development of AI systems that can provide truly personalized experiences and recommendations.
