In Search of the Wisdom Web
Ning Zhong, Jiming Liu, Yiyu Yao
Web intelligence offers a new direction for scientific research and
development, pushing technology toward manipulating the meaning of
data and creating a distributed intelligence that can actually get
things done. WI explores the fundamental and practical impact that
artificial intelligence and advanced information technology will
have on the next generation of Web-empowered systems, services, and
environments.
The Web significantly affects both academic research and everyday life,
revolutionizing how we gather, store, process, present, share, and use
information. It offers opportunities and challenges in many areas,
including business, commerce, finance, and research and development.
The next-generation Web will go beyond improved information search
and knowledge queries and will help people achieve better ways of
living, working, playing, and learning. To fulfill its potential,
the intelligent Web's design and development must incorporate knowledge
from existing disciplines, such as artificial intelligence and
information technology, in a totally new domain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Web and Social Networks
Ravi Kumar, Prabhakar Raghavan, Sridhar Rajagopalan, Andrew Tomkins
The sheer volume of Web data, together with its low signal-to-noise
ratio, make it difficult for text-based search engines to locate
high-quality pages. Analyzing the links between Web sites has
dramatically improved the Web search experience and spawned research
into the Web's link structure. This research includes graph-theoretic
studies of connectivity, which have shown the Web to have strong
similarities with social networks.
Self-similarity is pervasive in social networks. While researchers have
observed Web self-similarity in other contexts, finding a fractal
structure in a graph-theoretic setting adds further evidence to the
Web's small-world social nature. Thus, researchers seek to explain and
exploit the human behavior implicit in the Web's evolving structure.
How can we combine the power of Web networks with networks resulting
from other human activity? Accomplishing this goal represents knowledge
management's key challenge and opportunity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Social Intelligence Design for the Web
Toyoaki Nishida
Web intelligence reflects the view that eventually we will build a totally
new kind of collective intelligence on the Web computing infrastructure.
To reach this goal we must solve several major problems. For example,
embedding Web computing into our everyday lives and society poses a more
difficult problem than engineers might think. Because new technologies
often consume financial resources without providing a comparable benefit,
we must pay close attention to the social aspects of intelligence and how
Web computing can augment knowledge processes, an attitude that underlies
social intelligence design.
Computer-supported collaborative work takes a similar approach, focusing
on well-structured, goal-oriented groups. Social intelligence design, on
the other hand, highlights collective knowledge processes in informal,
loosely coupled groups. It thus focuses not only on technological
development for Web intelligence but also on the design and analysis
of a social framework for embedding Web intelligence into everyday life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: A Scenario Description Language for Interactive Agents
Toru Ishida
Agent internal mechanisms form the basis for many of the languages
proposed for describing agent behavior and interagent protocols.
For the Web, however, we should also consider the needs of application
designers such as sales managers, travel agents, and school teachers.
To this end, the author is developing Q, a language for describing
interaction scenarios between agents and users based on agent external
roles. Q also provides an interface between computing professionals
and scenario writers. Rather than depending on agent internal mechanisms,
Q seeks to describe how scenario writers should request that agents behave.
Scenarios help establish a bridge between the computing professionals
who design agents and the scenario writers who design applications.
Thus, we can expect an effective dialog to emerge from the interplay
between the two different perspectives during the process of formalizing
interaction patterns.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Toward Behavioral Intelligence in the Semantic Web
Joanna Bryson, David Martin, Sheila McIlraith, Lynn Stein
Realizing the Web's full potential will require the development and
support of agents that function as schedulers, planners, and searchers
who, with minimal direction, can serve as an omnipresent staff of
advisers, secretaries, brokers, and research assistants. Electronic
commerce has brought this capability tantalizingly near. Organizations
and individuals have connected an enormous variety of products and
services to the Internet, making them accessible to other programs
through simple communication protocols.
Now the AI community must determine how it can build intelligent agents
to exploit these services. One strategy would change the Web itself,
making it accessible to existing AI modeling and reasoning techniques.
In this semantic Web, service and content providers would mark pages
in accordance with standardized conventions designed to reduce ambiguity
and make automated reasoning easier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ontology-Based Knowledge Management
Dieter Fensel
The Web's very popularity is making it more difficult to find, present,
and maintain the data that users with a wide range of tasks and computer
skills need. Existing document management systems use keyword matching
as a search method, combined with information retrieval rather than query
answering. In addition, these systems offer limited information-sharing
facilities, and they don't support different views on documents or
information maintenance.
To address these weaknesses, a European consortium formed the
On-to-Knowledge Project to build an ontology-based tool suite that
efficiently processes the many heterogeneous, distributed, and
semistructured documents typically found in intra-nets and on the Web.
The consortium's approach integrates semantic Web search technology,
document exchange via transformation operators,automated information
extraction, and systematic support for information maintenance and
user-specific views. On-to-Knowledge's tools exploit the power of
ontologies to provide automated support for acquiring, maintaining,
and accessing weakly structured information sources.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Integrated Approach to Web Ontology Learning and Engineering
Michele Missikof, Roberto Navigli, Paola Velardi
Developing the semantic Web-seeking to improve the semantic awareness
of computers connected via the Internet-requires a systematic,
computer-oriented world representation. Researchers often refer to
such a model as an ontology.
Despite the work done on them in recent years, ontologies have yet to
be widely applied and used. Research has devoted only limited attention
to such practical issues as techniques and tools aimed at an ontology's
actual construction and content.
A software environment, centered around the OntoLearn tool, can build and
assess a domain ontology for intelligent information integration within
a virtual user community. OntoLearn has already been tested in two
European projects, where it functioned as the basis for a semantic
interoperability platform used by small and medium-sized tourism
enterprises. Further, developers can easily adapt OntoLearn to work
with other general-purpose ontologies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Mining for Web Intelligence
Jiawei Han, Kevin Chang
Searching, comprehending, and using the semistructured HTML, XML, and
database-service-engine information stored on the Web poses a significant
challenge: This data is more sophisticated and dynamic than the
information commercial database systems store. To supplement keywordbased
indexing, researchers have applied data mining to Webpage ranking. In
this context, data mining helps Web search engines find high-quality
Web pages and enhances Web click stream analysis. For the Web to reach
its full potential, however, we must improve its services, make it more
comprehensible, and increase its usability. As researchers continue to
develop data mining techniques, the authors believe this technology will
play an increasingly important role in meeting the challenges of developing
the intelligent Web.
Ultimately, data mining for Web intelligence will make the Web a richer,
friendlier, and more intelligent resource that we can all share and explore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>From Computational Intelligence to Web Intelligence
Nick Cercone, Lijun Hou, Vlado Keselj, Aijun An,
Kanlaya Naruedomkul, Xiaohua Hu
Systems that can communicate naturally and learn from interactions will
power Web intelligence's longterm success. The large number of problems
requiring Webspecific solutions demand a sustained and complementary
effort to advance fundamental machine learning research and incorporate
a learning component into every Internet interaction. Traditional forms
of machine translation either translate poorly, require resources that
grow exponentially with the number of languages translated, or simplify
language excessively. Recent success in statistical, nonlinguistic, and
hybrid machine translation suggests that systems based on these
technologies can achieve better results with a large annotated language
corpus. Adapting existing computational intelligence solutions, when
appropriate for Web intelligence applications, must incorporate a robust
notion of learning that will scale to the Web, adapt to individual user
requirements, and personalize interfaces.
