JST CREST Research Area “Advanced Core Technologies for Big Data Integration”

Background and Objective †

• Texts are the basis of human knowledge representation
  • Data analysis results and interpretation by experts
  • Criticisms and opinions
  • Procedures and instructions
• Extracting and relating knowledge expressed in texts by computers
  • Enhancing the circulation of knowledge in society
  • Uncovering the relationship between knowledge among different specialized fields
  • Supporting the discovery of new knowledge and rules
• Project Objective: To establish robust and accurate knowledge-intensive structural NLP and to construct a knowledge infrastructure which can relate, retrieve and compare knowledge from various texts

Solution †

• Realization of Knowledge-Intensive NLP which can extract truly valuable knowledge for human beings from Big Data (text)
• Fusion of robust text analysis and knowledge inference is an internationally pioneering challenge
• Contributions to Society
  • Innovation in enterprise contact centers, knowledge communication, etc.
  • Knowledge infrastructure will enhance human’s creative activities ⇒ developing human “critical thinking”
