The Universal Knowledge Processor (UKP, patents pending) is a knowledge management tool designed for easy and totally assisted browsing and retrieval of any type of data (text, images, video, etc) on the basis of a taxonomy, i.e. a hierarchical organization of concepts similar to Yahoo indices.
The user directly interacts with the conceptual tree index of the information base and can set a focus by selecting one or more topics of interest directly from the index. The system automatically discards irrelevant documents and prunes from the tree all the topics not related to the current focus. The conceptual index is now a conceptual summary of the user focus which shows all the topics related to the focus. The topics in the index can be used for further refinements up to a point in which the number of documents is sufficiently small for direct inpection. Analysis and actual use show that 2-3 iterations are sufficient to reduce a 100,000 items information base to about 10 items.
UKP computes related concepts on the basis of the actual classification: this simplifies the design of the conceptual index and performs a concept mining which fully accounts for unanticipated and dynamic concepts interrelationships. Multilingual access is supported, as well as the automatic classification of structured (database) data.
The Universal Knowledge Processor has an extremely wide application range. It includes e-commerce, e-auctions, topic-based portals, diagnostic systems for call-centers and medicine, missing/suspect persons identification, etc. UKP is especially important in WAP applications where a careful design of the conceptual index makes quick browsing and retrieval on large databases simple even with small display sizes.
