Reflective Intelligence and Unnatural Acts

Filed under: LucidWorks,MapR — Patrick Durusau @ 3:07 pm

I wasn’t in the best of shape today but did manage to attend the webinar: Crowd Sourcing Reflected Intelligence Using Search and Big Data.

Not a lot of detail but there were two topics that caught my attention.

The first was “reflective intelligence,” that is a system that reflects the intelligence of the users back to other users.

Intelligence derived from tracking “clicks,” search terms, etc.

Question: How does your topic map solution “reflect” the intelligence of its users?

That is how do responses “improve” (by some measure) as a result of user interaction.

Could be measuring user behavior, what links do they select for particular query terms. (That is an example from the webinar.) Or could be users adding information, perhaps even suggesting/voting on merges.

The second riff that got my attention was a description of the software under discussion as:

“I don’t have to do unnatural acts.”

Is that like the Papa John’s “better ingredients?” Taken to imply that other pizzas use sub-par ingredients?

Or in this case, other software solutions require “unnatural acts?”

Interesting selling point.

What unusual properties would you claim for topic maps or topic map software?
