Summary on Grant Application Form
In the age of Big Data, knowledge workers - individuals, companies and organisations whose primary focus is knowledge

and information extraction and usage - find it increasingly difficult to search for and identify accurate and relevant

information. In particular, in the domain of scientific literature and IP search, where the underlying corpora are growing at a

huge rate, this is a daunting task and human expertise and involvement remain critical. This project aims to develop a suite

of techniques and methods that will enable users to search for and identify relevant information within a corpus more

efficiently and effectively. The methods developed will deploy semantic-based analysis, domain and lexical linguistic

ontologies in order to first understand the user needs based on the underlying domain of application and subsequently

enable more accurate information retrieval through enhanced search and cross-reference of information. In addition, the

project aims to offer advanced user services through sharing of search strategies which will be identified by observing and

understanding patterns in users' search behaviours.
