Semantic computing

Semantic computing is a field of computing that combines elements of <a href="/facts/Semantic_analysis_(knowledge_representation)/vex763hx">semantic analysis</a>, <a href="/facts/Natural_language_processing/1hjMKsSN">natural language processing</a>, <a href="/facts/Data_mining/AH53q5ac">data mining</a>, <a href="/facts/Knowledge_graph/0GrfBIqx">knowledge graphs</a>, and related fields.
Semantic computing addresses three core problems:

<ol><li>Understanding the (possibly naturally-expressed) intentions (<a href="/facts/Semantics/1L4WwLAP">semantics</a>) of users and expressing them in a machine-processable format</li>
<li>Understanding the meanings (semantics) of computational content (of various sorts, including, but is not limited to, text, video, audio, process, network, <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> and <a href="/facts/Computer_hardware/8jSjsCNv">hardware</a>) and expressing them in a machine-processable format</li>
<li>Mapping the semantics of user with that of content for the purpose of content retrieval, management, creation, etc.</li></ol>
The <a href="/facts/IEEE/UddC4pUW">IEEE</a> has held an International Conference on Semantic Computing since 2007. A conference on Knowledge Graphs and Semantic Computing has been held since 2015.
