Application Domains

The present proposal focuses on the semantics of natural language, including the semantic analysis of discourses. Consequently, our applicative domains concern natural language processing applications that rely on a deep semantic analysis. For instance, one may cite the following ones:

  • textual entailment and inference;

  • dialogue systems;

  • semantic-oriented query systems;

  • content analysis of unstructured documents;

  • (semi) automatic knowledge acquisition.

In fact, the need for semantics seems to be ubiquitous. There is, however, a challenge here. We need to find applications for which a deep semantic analysis results in a real improvement over non semantic-based techniques.

Nevertheless, the possible applications one may imagine are numerous, but we do not want to be too specific about it, at this stage. We intend to develop applications in the framework of collaborations. Therefore, the actual applicative developments we will undertake will depend of the partners we are currently seeking.
