Abstract

Information analysis, scientific discovery, web navigation and many other information related activities rely on the collection, analysis, and integration of unstructured, disparate data. In spite of significant research efforts, automatic methods for information integration are still vastly inferior to human capabilities. Tasks which are simple for humans, such as recognizing the underlying similarities between superficially different objects or sorting out the semantics of ambiguous statements, continue to present significant technical challenges for automated processes.
