= Geolexica now has Reverse Semantic Search

== Introduction

Ever forgotten a specific word but could describe its meaning?

Internet search engines more than often return unrelated entries.
The solution is *reverse semantic search*: given an input of the meaning of the
word (search phrase), provide an output with dictionary words that match the
meaning.
The key to accurate reverse search lies in the machine's ability to understand
semantics.
We employ deep learning approaches in natural language processing (NLP) to
enable better comparison of meanings between the search phrases with word
definitions.
Accuracy will be significantly increased.
The project outcome will be employed on Geolexica as a pilot application and
testbed for evaluation.
The ability to identify entities with similar semantics facilitates ontology
discovery in the Semantic Web and in Technical Language Processing (TLP).
