LivingKnowledge goal is to bring a new quality into search and knowledge management technology for more concise, complete and contextualised search results.
Mission
Knowledge and its articulations are strongly influenced by diversity in, e.g., cultural backgrounds, schools of thought, geographical contexts. Judgements, assessments and opinions, which play a crucial role in many areas of democratic societies, including politics and economics, reflect this diversity in perspective and goals. For the information on the Web (including, e.g., news and blogs) diversity - implied by the ever increasing multitude of information providers - is the reason for diverging viewpoints and conflicts. Time and evolution add a further dimension making diversity an intrinsic and unavoidable property of knowledge.
Application Scenario: Future Predictor
This scenario implements our future predictor application, built on top of the testbed, which searches for future predictions (plans or estimates) in current documents, tracks them over time and supports reasoning on the impact of such future predictions.

Verb Classification using Distributional Similarity in Syntactic and Semantic Structures
The paper “Verb Classification using Distributional Similarity in Syntactic and Semantic Structures” concerns with semantic parsing the extraction of predicate argument structure: for this purpose, automatic verb classification is a necessary step. Co-written by D. Croce, A. Moschitti, R. Basili and M. Palmer, it will be published in the Conference for the Association for Computational Linguistics, (ACL). Jeju, Korea, 2012.

Modeling Topic Dependencies in Hierarchical Text Categorization
The paper “Modeling Topic Dependencies in Hierarchical Text Categorization” discusses about automatically learning from the structure of a text categorization hierarchy to better classify documents.This is a step towards knowledge evolution since it shows how to learn the structure and thus possibly its evolution. Co-written by A. Moschitti, J. Qi and R. Johansson, it will be published in the Conference for the Association for Computational Linguistics, (ACL). Jeju, Korea, 2012.
