1 | Implementation of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to perform ad-hoc queries on-demand in the ATF KMS
By establishing a Web 3.0 (Semantic Web) compliant Knowledge Management application server at ATF and digitally transforming many of the key processes used by ATF staff to perform their work, ATF has already done the hardest part of achieving an NLP capability; namely, the task of "Ontologizing" all of the essential concepts relating to work at ATF and defining the Taxonomies of the data products produced by these tools. The result is a real-time, ever-growing "Knowledge Graph" of all of the "knowledge" created in the ATF KMS system during the normal course of work by users using these tools. The last few steps to achieving an NLP capability should be straight-forward once the tools and methods are identified and integrated into the ATF KMS system.
|
The ATF KMS system provides the correct answers to the following questions when asked:
|
Develop the ability to do facet analysis of the ATF KMS Knowledge Graph using its "triplestore"
|
Develop a wiki front-end for Neo4J (or something like Neo4J) | Milestone Status:
