700353Semantic Search EngineClosedGRD Proof of MarketInnovate UKIn the Arabic world, English is the second language of choice by scholars and business men alike, and student support officers from the UAE cite research skills and language as major barriers (1) to the education and progress of Middle Eastern students. There are a number of search engines that can be used for research such as Google and Bing, that are owned and managed by large organisations with enormous resources at their disposal; however they’re focused on the mass market and at present do not serve the niche we have identified. Currently searches conducted by students require a manual intervention so that queries raised are then actioned by an individual at the backend. Our solution is to provide a semantic search engine tailored for this market that provides a full Arabic translation of the extract or abstract of the retrieved document.
