There is disclosed a system and method for using a knowledge representation to provide relevant information based on environmental inputs. In an embodiment, the system and method considers environmental information from members in a crowd to generate a pool of interests based on the semantic relevance concepts associated with those interests. The most prominent concepts of interest may then be the basis for presenting content to the crowd as a whole. In another embodiment, environmental inputs and other surrounding inputs are considered as a user context. The concepts may be identified as relevant from the environmental context and used to present information relevant to the user given his or her surroundings.

System and method for using a knowledge representation to provide information based on environmental inputs

Disclosed is a system and method for performing a semantic operation on a social network. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a social network user context associated with a user of the social network; generating, through a semantic operation, an interest network based on the user context information; and filtering, ranking or augmenting, using at least one processor executing stored program instructions, a retrieval of information related to the social network based on the interest network; wherein the interest network comprises concepts represented by a data structure associated with the concepts in the interest network. In another embodiment, the method further comprises representing the interest network as an interest graph. In yet another embodiment, the semantic operation is a synthesis operation or retrieval operation performed on a knowledge representation.
