I’d like to add to your list of information understanding technologies : semantic fingerprinting. This technology applies a domain model to free text, resolving synonyms into unique concepts that have hierarchical relationships in the domain model. A naturally posed user query is accepted by the system, fingerprinted, and converted into a complex boolean query. The result is an organized set of search results that shows the intelligence of natural language systems, but with the performance characteristics of boolean search. I distinguish it from ’semantic search’ because no manual tagging is required, and because the user queries are accepted as natural language text.

Semantic fingerprinting is appropriate for vertical domains with complex terminology, hierarchical relationships, and moderate (compared to the Web) collection sizes. We are applying it to the health space.
