It's certainly possible to use OpenCog at a platform and toolset for creating a concept search engine... I sorta feel like the ways of doing so fall into two categories though...
1) ways that, while they can be done inside Opencog, could be done more easily outside OpenCog 2) ways that are quite hard, though very interesting, because they require implementing some custom inference control heuristics for guiding PLN backward chaining as it estimates semantic similarity between phrases (based on the background knowledge loaded into the Atomspace) ... I.e. if you just want to build links between words, and cluster words based on their similarities, etc. then OpenCog can be used as a framework, but may not add that much value. But if you want to extract meanings from phrases and then deal with the subtletly of estimating similarity between the semantic structures corresponding to phrases, then OpenCog does potentially add huge value, but it's not a trivial road to follow.. -- Ben On Sat, Sep 10, 2016 at 4:01 PM, Amirouche Boubekki <amirouche.boube...@gmail.com> wrote: > Héllo, > > I am looking to build a concept search engine.
