Application of the Combinatorial Synthesis and LHPG Techniques to the Development of New Scintillator Materials

Not Available Investigate the use of Cyc(R) large common sense knowledge base technology to improve the precision and accuaracy of web search assistants. Keyword- and synonym-based web searchers are limited in their ability to locate and integrate relevant documents, as they rely on statistical word frequency rather than actual understanding. In contrast, Cyc's semantic approach will allow a web assistant to filter unwanted documents that happen to mention the keywords, to locate relevant documents that do not use the keywords or their synonyms, and to semantically combine the retrieved documents for presentation to the user. The heart of this approach is the creation of metadata, either automatically from the text of the source documents or semi-automatically via a natural-language dialogue tool.
