Viewpoints on Emergent Semantics

چکیده
We introduce a novel view on how to deal with the problems of semantic interoperability in distributed systems. This view is based on the concept of emergent semantics, which sees both the representation of semantics and the discovery of the proper interpretation of symbols as the result of a self-organizing process performed by distributed agents exchanging symbols and having utilities dependent on the proper interpretation of the symbols. This is a complex systems perspective on the problem of dealing with semantics. We highlight some of the distinctive features of our vision and point out preliminary examples of its applica-

Situated Grounded Word Semantics
The paper reports on experiments in which autonomous visually grounded agents bootstrap an ontology and a shared lexicon without prior design nor other forms of human intervention. The agents do so while playing a particular language game called the guessing game. We show that synonymy and polysemy arise as emergent properties in the language but also that there are tendencies to dampen it so a...
متن کاملBootstrapping Grounded Word Semantics
The paper reports on experiments with a population of visually grounded robotic agents capable of bootstrapping their own ontology and shared lexicon without prior design nor other forms of human intervention. The agents do so while playing a particular language game called the guessing game. We show that synonymy and ambiguity arise as emergent properties in the lexicon, due to the situated gr...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Emergent Semantics
Emergent Semantics is a new paradigm for inferring semantic meaning from implicit feedback by a sufficiently large number of users of an object retrieval system. In this paper, we introduce a universal architecture for emergent semantics using a central repository within a multi-user environment, based on solid linguistic theories. Based on this architecture, we have implemented an information ...
متن کاملFault-tolerant Emergent Semantics in P2p Networks
To survive in the twenty-first century, enterprises need to collaborate. Collaboration at the enterprise-level presupposes the interoperability of the underlying information systems. Access to heterogeneous information sources must be provided transparently while maintaining their autonomy. Further, the availability of nearly unlimited information calls for efficient and precise information ret...
متن کاملCapturing the semantics of individual viewpoints on social signals in interpersonal communication
The Social Web provides a vast source of user-generated content embedding different views on real life events and activities. Although there is a notable effort to utilise this content in personalisation applications, the existing approaches do not exploit the diversity of individual viewpoints for user modelling and adaptation. On the other hand, the semantic web community has developed extens...
