8. A method comprising:
-
organizing advertisements according to their meaning into a lexicon, the lexicon defining elements of a semantic space and represented by a network of interconnected meanings; receiving an input term; identifying a first point in the semantic space associated with the input term based on an interpretation of potential meanings of the input term; determining a first semantic sub-space that includes all of the elements of the semantic space within a predetermined radius of the first point; identifying, in the first semantic sub-space, an advertisement proximate in semantic distance to the input term, wherein the semantic distance identifies how closely related the advertisement is to the input term; and providing the advertisement in response to the input term. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
