PIA GDN ANSWER
Participants : Fabien Gandon, Hai Huang, Vorakit Vorakitphan, Serena Villata, Elena Cabrio.
ANSWER stands for Advanced aNd Secured Web Experience and seaRch (https://project.inria.fr/answer/). It is a GDN project (Grands Défis du Numérique) from the PIA program (Programme d’Investissements d'Avenir) on Big Data. The project is between four Inria research teams and the Qwant company.
The aim of the ANSWER project is to develop the new version of the Qwant (http://www.qwant.com) search engine by introducing radical innovations in terms of search criteria as well as indexed content and users’ privacy.
The purpose is to strengthen everyone’s confidence in the search engine and increase the effectiveness of Web search. Building trust in the search engine is based on innovations in (1) Security: computer security, privacy; (2) Completeness: completeness and heterogeneity of (re)sources; and (3) Neutrality: analysis, extraction, indexing, and classification of data.
Increasing the effectiveness of Web-based research relies on innovations related to (1) Relevance: variety and value of content taken into account, measurement of emotions carried by query results; (2) Interaction with the user: adaptation of the interfaces to the types of research; and (3) Performance: perceived relevance of results and response time.
The proposed innovations include:
DGA CONFIRMA
Participants : Elena Cabrio, Serena Villata.
The theme of this new project with DGA is counter argumentation against fake news. Its duration is 2018-2020.
Ministry of Culture: MonaLIA 1.0
Participants : Anna Bobasheva, Fabien Gandon.
The MonaLIA 1.0 project is a preliminary study on the coupling of learning methods (Deep Neural Networks) and knowledge-based methods (Semantic Web) for image recognition and the enhancement of descriptive documentary records. The approach is applied and evaluated on the collection and data in the Joconde database in order to identify the possibilities and challenges offered by this coupling in assisting in the creation and maintenance of such an annotated collection.
ANR WASABI
Participants : Michel Buffa, Elena Cabrio, Catherine Faron Zucker.
The ANR project WASABI started in January 2017 with IRCAM, Deezer, Radio France and the SME Parisson, consists in building a 2 million songs knowledge base of commercial popular music (rock, pop, etc.) Its originality is the joint use of audio-based music information extraction algorithms, song lyrics analysis algorithms (natural language processing), and the use of the Semantic Web. Web Audio technologies then explore these bases of musical knowledge and provide innovative applications for composers, musicologists, music schools and sound engineers, music broadcasters and journalists.
ANR SIDES 3.0
Participants : Catherine Faron Zucker, Olivier Corby, Fabien Gandon, Alain Giboin, Andrea Tettamanzi.
Partners: Université Grenoble Alpes, Inria, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Viseo, Theia.
SIDES 3.0 is an ANR project (2017-2020) which started in fall 2017. It is led by Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and its general objective is to introduce semantics within the existing SIDES educational platform (http://side-sante.org/) for medicine students, in order to provide them with added value educational services.

DBpedia.fr
Participants : Elmahdi Korfed, Fabien Gandon.
The DBpedia.fr project proposes the creation of a French chapter of the DBpedia database. This project was the first project of the Semanticpedia convention signed by the Ministry of Culture, the Wikimedia foundation and Inria.

Convention between Inria and the Ministry of Culture
Participant : Fabien Gandon.
We supervise the research convention with the Ministry of Culture to foster research and development at the crossroad of culture and digital sciences. This convention signed between Inria and the Ministry of Culture provides a framework to support projects at the cross-road of the cultural domain and the digital sciences.
Qwant-Inria Joint Laboratory
Participants : Fabien Gandon, Alain Giboin.
We supervise the Qwant-Inria Joint Laboratory where joint teams are created and funded to contribute to the search engine research and development. The motto of the joint lab is Smart Search and Privacy with five research directions:
We identify possibilities of exploiting the Qwant search engine to improve the search for information in the digital cultural resources of the French Ministry of Culture. At the end of the project, some possibilities will be selected and will be the subject of research actions in the context a long-term project.
Inria Federated Query Scaler
Participant : Olivier Corby.
Federated Query Scaler is an Exploratory Research Project (PRE) funded by Inria, together with the Dyliss team at Inria Rennes. The topic of this project is the study of distributed SPARQL queries in the context of bioinformatics.
GDRI Zoomathia
Participants : Catherine Faron Zucker, Franck Michel, Andrea Tettamanzi.
Wimmics is a partner of the International Research Group (GDRI) Zoomathia funded by two CNRS institutes: INEE and INSHS. This group aims at studying transmission of zoological knowledge from Antiquity to Middle-Age through material resources (bio residues, artefacts), iconography and texts.
As a continuation of the work initiated with the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) during the last three years, the TAXREF-LD linked data dataset, that we produced jointly with the MNHN, now appears in the Linked Open Data cloud (http://lod-cloud.net/) and is published on AgroPortal (http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ontologies/TAXREF-LD/). Relatedly, we have reflected on modelling principles for biodiversity Linked Data [45].
