'Emotional' Search Engine Set to Use BFO's Graph Library

LONDON, ENGLAND -- Big Faceless Organization (BFO), developers of Java PDF Software, have provided a free license of their Java Graph Library. to a Computer Scientist from the University of Bath for use in a project that hopes to create a search engine capable of "emotionally Interpreting" search results.

Eugene Yuta Bann, the projects architect, say's his Project iDEA (Intelligent Digital Emotion Analyser) "presents a new way to model the flow of historic and current events, and will hopefully prove insightful into the nature of future events through Emotional Timewave (ET) pattern recognition. The accuracy of the textual data numerical analysis is determined by the intelligence of the Emotional Interpreter (EI); this module interprets prose by emotionally digitising words and sentences."

Once a search has been performed, a timeline of the main events relating to the search with be created. The overall decrease or increase in emotion for each event will then be plotted as a percentage change relative to time, thereby generating an overall "Emotional Timewave" (ET) for the searched concept. Wikipedia and BBC News will initially be used as data sources, with the former for historic data and the latter for current data. The data collected will be used to produced graphs and timelines using BFOs Graph Library.

The license was granted by BFO through their Academic Development Program.
