See http://clusty.com/ As I understand it, Clusty is doing cluster analysis in a statistical way, and does not represent things in relations of objects and actions, etc. It doesn't make or crawl RDF/OWL or model natural language.
http://www.hakia.com aims to a `meaning' oriented search engine. When I searched for `global warming', Hakia gave me a breakdown of categories, including stuff like "Possible Solutions", "Movies and Documentaries", and so on. Also Hakia has a dialogue system where terminology can be clarified (as if one was working with a reference librarian). These pages illustrate and describe how queries are modeled: http://labs.hakia.com/OntoSem/hakia-lab-ontox.aspx http://labs.hakia.com/hakia-lab-onto.html http://www.ontologicalsemantics.com Also, I ran across this leak of Google's "Big Goals and Directions 2006". http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2006-10-26-n80.html where it says: "Google wants to have the world’s top AI research laboratory." Also relevant are Larry Page's remarks here: http://technology.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1781121,00.html "Mr Page said one thing that he had learned since Google launched eight years ago was that technology can change faster than expected, and that AI could be a reality within a few years" ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
