SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEMANTIC INFERENCE AND REASONING

摘要

A method and system for analyzing a corpus of data artifacts is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining, by a computer, a semantic representation of the data artifacts, where the semantic representation indicates (1) entities identified in the data artifacts, and (2) semantic relationships among the entities as indicated by the data artifacts. The method further comprises clustering the data artifacts into clusters of semantically related data artifacts based on the semantic representation and inferring additional semantic relationships between pairs of the entities. The inferring comprises applying, on a cluster-by-cluster basis, a multi-tiered network of inference engines to a portion of the semantic representation corresponding to the cluster, where the multi-tiered network of inference engines includes a domain-independent inference tier and a domain-specific inference tier.
