Computational Intelligence for Information-web Search

“Dedicated to the advancement of Information Search through science and technology to better serve the community”

The initial objectives of the FLINT (FLINT was formed in 2001) 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 development

Ø Ontology development

Ø Moblization of the knowledge

Ø Machine-human interaction for better search

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

Ø Internet and web 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.
