Research
This Industrial CASE research project is the result of a new collaboration between the University of Stirling (UK), the MIT Media Lab (USA) and Sitekit Labs (UK).
The main aim of the project is to further develop and apply software agent and natural language processing based technologies in order to blend the Open Mind 
database with any given ontology, and hence build a novel intelligent software engine that can auto-categorize or auto-tag documents. The developed software engine will enable the development of future semantic web applications whose design and content can dynamically adapt to the user.
The primary researcher is Erik Cambria, working under the principal academic supervision of Dr. Amir Hussain, reader at Stirling Department of Computing Science & Maths, and with industrial supervision of Chris Eckl, research director at Sitekit Labs. The research is in collaboration with Dr. Catherine Havasi of MIT Media Lab who was part of the research team that pioneered the Common Sense Computing Initiative, which will be further developed as part of the project in the context of semantic web mining. Besides document classification, the research work aims to develop intelligent web applications in fields such as e-health, software agents, e-games, customer care, e-learning and e-tourism. To this end, the research is currently carried out in the areas of:
