Semantic Computing (SC) is an emerging field that addresses computing technologies which allow users to search, create, manipulate and connect computational resources. The research efforts will be anchored by the University of California-Irvine as the lead institution, partnered with the University of California-Los Angeles and the University of California-San Diego. Semantic Computing includes the computing technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, natural language, software engineering, data and knowledge engineering, computer systems, signal processing, etc.), and their interactions, that may be used to extract or process computational content and descriptions. The proposed I/UCRC will focus on providing technologies that lead to a Semantic Problem Solving (SPS) network where distributed resources can be easily connected based on semantics for the purpose of problem solving. While some areas of Semantic Computing have appeared as isolated pieces in individual disciplines, Semantic Computing glues these pieces together into an integrated theme with synergetic interactions. It addresses not only the analysis and transformation of signals (e.g., pixels, words) into useful information, but also how such information can be accessed and used to synthesize new signals. The three proposed campuses have complementary areas of strength and have emphasized different aspects of Semantic Computing systems. All participating faculty are prominent researchers in one or more areas related to Semantic Computing. The technologies developed by the proposed I/UCRC may support new inter-connectivity that has not been realized by the Internet today. It therefore may facilitate the transition of the Internet into Web 3.0 and stimulate new business models for a better economy that everyone can benefit. The technologies developed by the proposed I/UCRC will be delivered to the public via the Internet, and the PIs expect to create broader impacts in areas other than the five selected. The five areas are chosen as they characterize different aspects of problem solving, e.g., creativity (IT, entertainment), learning (education) and decision making (health, finance), which are applicable to many other areas such as manufacturing, science, engineering, and the humanities.

语义计算（SC）是一个新兴字段，它旨在解决允许用户搜索，创建，操纵和连接计算资源的计算技术。研究工作将由加利福尼亚大学 - 艾尔文大学作为主要机构的锚定，并与加利福尼亚洛杉矶分校和加利福尼亚大学迭戈分校合作。语义计算包括计算技术（例如，人工智能，自然语言，软件工程，数据和知识工程，计算机系统，信号处理等）及其相互作用，可用于提取或处理计算内容和描述。拟议的I/UCRC将专注于提供导致语义问题解决（SPS）网络的技术，在该技术可以根据语义来轻松连接分布式资源以解决问题的目的。虽然某些语义计算的领域在单个学科中似乎是孤立的片段，但语义计算将这些部分粘合在一起，并将其粘合到一个具有协同互动的集成主题中。它不仅介绍了信号（例如像素，单词）中的分析和转换，还可以如何访问此类信息并用于合成新信号。拟议的三个校园具有互补的力量领域，并强调了语义计算系统的不同方面。所有参与的教师都是与语义计算有关的一个或多个领域的著名研究人员。提议的I/UCRC开发的技术可能支持当今互联网尚未实现的新联系。因此，它可能促进互联网向Web 3.0的过渡，并刺激新的商业模式，以使每个人都能受益。拟议的I/UCRC开发的技术将通过互联网交付给公众，PIS期望在选定的五个领域对其他领域产生更大的影响。选择这五个领域是因为它们描述了解决问题的不同方面，例如创造力（IT，娱乐），学习（教育）和决策（健康，财务），这些方面适用于许多其他领域和人文科学。
