SEAmail: Applying Semantic Technology to Email

According to MIT’s Technology Review, the program allows users to select email recipients by creating a search query as opposed to typing in names, addresses, or the name of a mailing list. For example, a user could use SEAmail to send a message to a group - created on the fly - like “all professors who graduated from Harvard University since 1960.” (via SEAmail: Applying Semantic Technology to Email - ReadWriteWeb)

The idea of the semantic web is to make human connectionism readable by the machine side (and vice versa) so that both webs can work in concert. Semantic web technologies are a bridge or translation channel between the two sides of connectionism. All human thoughts, actions, and memories want to be deciphered, structured by machines, and machine structures understandable by humans.

a GPS unit, or other location-aware technologies to know where it is, and when it is
communcation capabilities with the Internet, directly, or through gateways
memory for storing its data until it can communicate
a sensor, to measure a value about the world around it.

Obama, security aides, still debating Blackberry:

White House officials have worried that a president’s e-mails can be subpoenaed by Congress and the courts and may be subject to public records laws. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton didn’t e-mail while in office.

How does one function without an iPhone or Blackberry?

Semantic Sense for the Desktop - Nepomuk

While most operating systems let users search on their computer by keyword alone, Nepomuk can uncover more useful information by focusing on the connections between data; it can locate relevant files if they don’t mention the keyword used to search. (read more at Technology Review)

New tool enables powerful data analysis

A mathematical tool to extract and visualize useful features from data sets has existed for nearly 40 years - in theory. Called the Morse-Smale complex, it partitions sets by similarity of features and encodes them into mathematical terms. But working with the Morse-Smale complex is not easy. “It’s a powerful language. But a cost of that, is that using it meaningfully for practical applications is very difficult,” Gyulassy said.

Gyulassy’s algorithm divides data sets into parcels of cells, then analyzes each parcel separately using the Morse-Smale complex. Results of those computations are then merged together. As new parcels are created from merged parcels, they are analyzed and merged yet again. At each step, data that do not need to be stored in memory are discarded, drastically reducing the computing power required to run the calculations. (via phsyorg.com)
