Distributional semantics – what it is and what it can make for you

The main center of gravity for our technologies relates to knowledge discovery and is inspired by research in distributional semantics, an area that may be regarded as the most exciting and promising for the next years.

One of the key areas of our research relates to the critical technology for big data analytics in the form of distributional semantics. Distributional semantics can be regarded as the new semantics for the era of big data. Same as the now traditional semantic technologies that reflected the needs and context of the web, distributional semantics are a promising field of research that can contribute to sense-making out of dynamic data structures and complex data artifacts which may come from several sources such as text, structured data, images, sounds and videos in order to help adapt services to specific user groups and personal and environmental contexts.
