Semantic Processing Task

A semantic processing task is a processing task that requires the identification of meaning within an artifact.

• AKA: Concept Identification.
• Context:
  • Input: an Artifact.
  • output: a Meaning Representation.
  • It can be solved by a Semantic Processing System (that implements a semantic processing algorithm).
  • It can range from being a Shallow Semantic Processing Task to being a Deep Semantic Processing Task (understanding).
  • It can range from: being a Strategic Semantic Processing Task (with a plan) to being a Passive Semantic Processing Task.
• Example(s):
  • a Linguistic Expression Semantic Processing Task, such as a semantic parsing, IE from text, or strategic reading.
  • a Semantic Annotation Task.
  • an Image Annotation Task.
  • an Understanding Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Syntactic Processing Task.
  • a Writing Task.
  • a Singing Task.
