I came across an intriguing language processing library a few weeks ago, and it’s called CLiPs which stands for Computational Linguistics and PsychoLinguisitics. When we were working hard on extracting entities from social streams during Victus Media’s heyday, I couldn’t find anything close to what this library offers. (more…)

Semantic Services and Interacting Data
This is a brief response to a post shared by Robert Scoble this morning on advances in semantic applications.
Image Browser for Twitter is Live
This is an adaption of the IMM (Intelligent Media Manager) focused on dynamic images. It includes a search within function (search within user tweets or search within list tweets) by clicking on an image.
Mysteries within the obvious, Language the Code for our Minds
While working on semantic processing of user statuses, I spent several cycles thinking about the meaning behind language. When speaking, writing or giving a presentation, we take so much for granted. But if our interpretation tools are to improve functionally, we have to build from the ground up. And that brings us to the title of today’s post, the mysteries of the obvious.
Each Time I Get My Hands Dirty, I Learn
As long as I’m unwilling to face an obstacle, my mind invents clever schemes to prevent me from having to deal with undesirable tasks. That results in me treating the obstacle as a spooky animal. It also means I will miss out on any advantages of understanding the taboo subject.

Update: Some breaking news that’s fantastic
The Zemanta team (ala @Andraz) has crafted Galaxy, a relational connector between Zemanta and DBpedia + Freebase. This could save me a jump time from entities to connectors! Just heard about it from twitter, here’s the full blog post with all the cool details. Unfortunately there’s no API for such a connection, so we’ll have to do it ourselves anyway. At least I’m aware of the DBpedia and Freebase now.
Semantic bots that learn what you like
Imagine the information you publicly shared was crawled by more than search engines. A new type of information gathering bot is about to begin accessing your twitter streams. At Victus Media we’re experimenting with semantic extracted tags that accurately capture the essence of status updates. So far the relevancy in our personal tests is accurate over half the time, and needs minor adjustments for many of the mismatches. But we’re at a design impass on the Intelligent Media Manager, as there are many development paths which lead to improved performance. One long term goal is to construct personalized search assistants tuned to each user. What we work on next will highly be a function of what users find most appealing to fascilatate our longer term development path. (more…)
Leverage Known Brands to Build Your Business
Not many people know your brand if you’re a startup
I can count on two hands the number of people that know and trust Victus Media. We’re tiny. We’re ghosts. We’re two Jekyll an Hyde founders that are ambitious, and driven to unlock great value from socially shared data. We’re passionate about this space because we see immeasurable value slipping through the cracks. The value is leveraging automated systems to learn more about us as users, in a way we’re comfortable with and in control of.
