ACTIVITIES

  • SemtiKamols project carried on at the University of Latvia aims to develop semantic resources and methodologies for automatic meaning extraction from Latvian texts. Besides basic grammar parsing for Latvian, the project utilizes techniques from Semantic Web and related formal logic-based approaches to enable formal reasoning about the facts mentioned in the text. One of the applications from this project has been successfully gridified (see manual) in the Migrating Desktop environment of BalticGrid with the help of the Poznan SuperComputing Centre.
