Semantic Computing - Microsoft Research
Semantic computing
Semantic computing is about exploring complex data from disparate sources and making sense of that data. It is about interacting with data in rich, safe, and semantically meaningful ways to expose the path from data to information, knowledge, and intelligence. Semantics have the potential to unify our approach to data encoding, thereby facilitating access to and use of data, and ultimately helping researchers gain new insights.
To reach these goals, we strive to create research programs that investigate computational intelligence to facilitate open innovation and agile experimentation via semantically-rich, cloud-based services, as well as projects to advance the state of the art in knowledge representation and reasoning under uncertainty at web scale.
