Improving Data Integration through Disambiguation Techniques
This event took place on Wednesday 23 July 2008 at 11:30

 
Ing. Laura Po University of Modena e Reggio

In this talk I will show how disambiguation techniques can be use to improved Data Integration. In particular, I will briefly illustrate how performing the disambiguation of source elements can supply some useful relationships for the integration process. I will show the CWSD algorithm (Combined Word Sense Disambiguation) we have developed at the DBGROUP at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Then I will point out some new ideas on a probabilistic way to combine different WSD algorithms.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
