The LarKC Project Overview
The aim of the EU FP 7 Large-Scale Integrating Project LarKC is to develop the Large Knowledge Collider (LarKC, for short, pronounced “lark”), a platform for massive distributed incomplete reasoning that will remove the scalability barriers of currently existing reasoning systems for the Semantic Web.
This will be achieved by:
- Enriching the current logic-based Semantic Web reasoning methods with methods from information retrieval, machine learning, information theory, databases, and probabilistic reasoning,
- Employing cognitively inspired approaches and techniques such as spreading activation, focus of attention, reinforcement, habituation, relevance reasoning, and bounded rationality.
- Building a distributed reasoning platform and realizing it both on a high-performance computing cluster and via “computing at home”.
More about the project could be found on the LarKC website.
WICI's Participation in the LarKC Project
The LarKC Project is with 11 Countries involved and 13 partner consortium. The International WIC Institute (WICI) is one of the two groups outside Europe and is the only group from China.
WICI is an official participant of the following work packages:
- WP1: Conceptual Framework and Evaluation
- WP2: Identifying and Selecting
- WP4: Reasoning and Deciding
- WP8: Training, dissemination, community building and cross-fertilisation
Current members from WICI who have been participated in the project include:
- Ning Zhong
- Yi Zeng
- Yan Wang
- Xu Ren
- Shaobo Wang
- Yunfei Ma
- Yulin Qin
- Shengfu Lv
- Jiajin Huang
- Xuyan Wang
- Xiaolong Guo
