Techniques for use in identifying one of more concepts in a knowledge representation (KR). The techniques include obtaining user context information associated with a user, wherein the user context information comprises a plurality of words; Also included are semantic disambiguation techniques comprising obtaining user context information associated with a user, wherein the user context information comprises a first portion and a second portion different from the first portion; and disambiguating between a first and second concept in a knowledge representation (KR) associated with a first meaning of the first portion. Semantic disambiguation techniques further include obtaining user context information associated with a user, wherein the user context information comprises a first portion and a second portion different from the first portion; and disambiguating between a first concept and second concept in a knowledge representation (KR) using a measures of dominance and semantic coherence. Additionally, techniques are disclosed for calculating a measure of semantic coherence based on a graph of a knowledge representation (KR) and, an overlap of semantic context of a first concept and a second concept in the KR.

Methods and system for providing information selected from a large set of digital content to at least one user. One such method comprises receiving user context information associated with the at least one user and identifying or generating, using at least one processor executing stored program instructions, a first concept in a semantic network, the first concept representing at least a portion of the user context information. The method further comprises obtaining at least one concept, including a second concept, semantically relevant to the first concept at least in part, by synthesizing the second concept based on the first concept and at least one other concept in the semantic network; and providing information to the at least one user, wherein the information is selected by using the first concept and the at least one obtained concept semantically relevant to the first concept, wherein the first concept in a semantic network is represented by a data structure storing any data associated with a node in the semantic network.

Methods and apparatus for providing information of interest to one or more users

Methods and system for providing information selected from a large set of digital content to a user. Techniques include receiving user context information associated with the user and identifying or generating a first concept in a semantic network, the first concept representing at least a portion of the user context information. The method further comprises obtaining at least one concept, including a second concept, semantically relevant to the first concept at least in part, by synthesizing the second concept based on the first concept and at least one other concept in the semantic network; and providing information to the user, wherein the information is selected by using the first concept and the at least one obtained concept semantically relevant to the first concept, wherein the first concept in a semantic network is represented by a data structure storing any data associated with a node in the semantic network.

Methods and system of searching for content in a target set of content based on a reference set of content, a reference semantic network representing knowledge associated with the reference set of content, and a target semantic network representing knowledge associated with the target set of content. Techniques include receiving a user-specified search query, obtaining at least one concept semantically relevant to the user-specified search query by using the target semantic network and the reference semantic network, constructing a second query by augmenting the first search query with one or more terms associated with the at least one obtained concept; providing, to the at least one user, content associated with search results obtained based on searching the target set of content by using the second query, wherein any concept in the semantic network is represented by a data structure storing data associated with a node in the semantic network.
