summaryMachine reading is a mild version of natural language understanding, aiming at extracting as many elements as possible from a text, possibly on a large scale, and with performance appropriate to industrial applications. In recent years, machine reading in a pure NLP tradition has been hybridised with semantic web techniques and standards, contributing substantially to the productive area of “semantic technologies”. In this seminar I make an overview of machine reading that applies, or is used by, semantic web (in that area machine reading is better known as “knowledge extraction from text”), and I will defend the position that a closer collaboration and sharing of assumptions and objectives can be mutually beneficial. In order to show a concrete case study, I will detail one tool designed by my group, FRED, which applies deep parsing and computational semantics to generate well connected and linked RDF/OWL graphs.
