IBM Uses Semantics to Get Better Search

Monday, May 12th, 2008

On our recent trip to IBM's New Almaden Research Center we met up with Shivakumar Vaithyanathan, manager of unstructured information mining in the search and analytics group. He gave us a demo of how his research leads to putting semantics in search and lead to better features in IBM Omnifind Personal Email Search, used in Lotus Notes.

Isn't this what Xobni does and for Outlook there's no need to through the complicated config changes documented on the AlphWorks site. What am I missing?

Semantec search seems to be the big thing this year. This seems to be a interesting way to search your desktop.
