Welcome to the FLINT: Fuzzy Logic and the Internet

“Computational Intelligence for Information-web Search”

 

“Dedicated to the advancement of Information Search through computational intelligence to better serve the community”

 

Ø       “Intelligent search with high WebMIQ; potential for billions of queries for an industry worth hundreds of billion of dollars”

 

Ø       “Overall forecast for document and content management estimates the market growing from $4 billion in 2004 to $15 billion in 2008.

 

Ø       “Internet advertising is expected to attract $10 Billion  this year, %17 up from 2005.

Ø       “US Advertisers will spend $300 Billion this year, %7.5 up from 2005”

 

Ø       “Every viewer could potentially receive different advertisement based on its profile, search, and web-shows the viewer has been watched”

 

Ø       Recent Breakthroughs and Future Anticipation: Reality or SciFi; Year is 2020 – WCCI 2006, Vancouver - Canada

 

Ø       FLINT: A Glimpse into the Future

 

The initial objectives of the FLINT is to design an intelligent search engine with high WebMIQ based on the advancement in the following area:

 

Ø       Add higher level deduction capability

Ø       Precisiation of meaning

Ø       A logic for approximate reasoning

Ø       Information summarization

Ø       Add content to the existing information

Ø       Semantic Web and distributed data-based development

Ø       Ontology development

Ø       Moblization of the knowledge

Ø       Web and Text Mining

Ø       Machine-human interaction for better search and add human intelligence

Ø       Development of web-question and answering (WQ&A)

Ø       Search in Multi-Media

Ø       Advances in analysis of graphs and networks

Ø       Better targeted information delivery and services

 

As a result intelligent search engines with high WebMIQ with growing complexity and technological challenges are currently being developed. This requires new technology in terms of understanding, development, engineering design and visualization. While the technological expertise of each component becomes increasingly complex, there is a need for better integration of each component into a global model adequately capturing the imprecision and deduction capabilities.
