 Raymond de Lacaze: Knowledge Extraction

 Raymond describes his independent Lisp research project intended to
 extract knowledge from the Wikipedia website.

 His project combines natural language processing techniques, knowledge
 representation paradigms and machine learning algorithms that creates a
 semantic model of the information contained in Wikipedia.

 This presents an algorithm for the automatic generation of topic
 taxonomies and suggests how such a model can be used to implement
 contextually relevant web searches. In doing so, Raymond provides a
 brief overview of the following topics and algorithms:

   * Natural Language Processing
   * Semantic Nets
   * Similarity Metrics
   * Clustering Algorithms

 Location:
   Google, 9th Ave Entrance
   76 Ninth Ave
   on the 4th floor in the Baker Field room
