METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A SEMANTIC SEARCH ENGINE USING AN UNDERLYING KNOWLEDGE BASE

摘要

Semantic Search Engine using Lexical Functions and Meaning-Text Criteria, that outputs a response as the result of a semantic matching process consisting in comparing a natural language query with a plurality of contents, formed of phrases or expressions obtained from a contents' database, and selecting the response as being the contents corresponding to the comparison having a best semantic matching degree. An underlying knowledge base implements the encoding of symmetric meanings between terms. The knowledge base provides a mapping between a single term's usage and disambiguation therein. Inferences are made based on the disambiguation process providing an enhanced search engine.
