This has resulted in t.he building of systems with semanti(cid:173) cally nameable nodes which perform inferencing by examining t.he pat,t.erns of activation spread.


Semantic Search using Spreading Activation based on Ontology

Vuong, Ngo Minh

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Currently, the text document retrieval systems have many challenges in exploring the semantics of queries and documents. Each query implies information which does not appear in the query but the documents related with the information are also expected by user. The disadvantage of the previous spreading activation algorithms could be many irrelevant concepts added to the query. In this paper, a proposed novel algorithm is only activate and add to the query named entities which are related with original entities in the query and explicit relations in the query.

Existing personalisation approaches, such as collaborative filtering or content based recommendations, are highly dependent on the domain and/or the source of the data. Therefore, there is a need for more accurate means to capture and model the interests of the user across domains, and to interlink them in a semantically-enhanced interest graph. We propose a new approach for multi-source, cross-genre recommendations that can exploit the heterogeneous nature of user profile data, which has been aggregated from multiple personalised web services, such as blogs, wikis and microblogs. Our approach is based on the Spreading Activation model that exploits intrinsic links between entities across a number of data sources. The proposed method is highly customizable and applicable both to generic and specific recommendation scenarios and use cases. With the growing number of Social Web applications in the enterprise (blogs, wikis, micro blogging, etc.), it becomes difficult for knowledge workers to avoid content overload and to quickly identify relevant people, communities and information. We demonstrate the application of our approach in an industrial use case that involves recommendation of social semantic data across multiple services in a distributed collaborative environment.

One att·empt at explaining human inferencing is that of spreading activat,ion, particularly in the st.ructured connectionist paradigm. This has resulted in t.he building of systems with semantically nameable nodes which perform inferencing by examining t.he pat,t.erns of activation spread.
