Scope
Lexsense is a boutique language technology studio and knowledge engineering initiative dedicated to making linguistic meaning computable and actionable in real-world applications. Founded and led by Chakir Mahjoubi, a computational linguist with extensive expertise in applied linguistics and language technology, Lexsense operates at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP), semantic web technologies, and data modelling.
From “lexicon sense,” the core philosophy of Lexsense revolves around the idea that words become truly useful for machines only when their contextual senses are precisely modelled and linked to structured data. We specialize in transforming unstructured text into queryable, intelligent knowledge through advanced semantic techniques.
About Lexsense
Lexsense: Bridging Language and Intelligent Systems
Lexsense is a boutique language technology studio and knowledge engineering initiative dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of intelligent language systems. At the intersection of natural language processing (NLP), semantic web technologies, and data modeling, Lexsense focuses on making linguistic meaning computable and usable in real-world applications. Derived from the concept of “lexicon sense,” the platform is built on the fundamental idea that words gain true utility for machines only when their contextual senses—word meanings in specific contexts—are clearly modelled, structured, and linked to data through techniques like semantic search, ontologies, and linked data.
Leadership and Expertise
Led by Chakir Mahjoubi, an expert analyst in applied linguistics and language technology, Lexsense conducts in-depth research across a wide spectrum of fields, including semantics (the meaning of information), natural language processing, lexicography, linguistic engineering, translation technologies, speech technologies, and knowledge management. With a strong emphasis on advanced approaches to semantic and contextual meaning in lexicography, the studio supports clients in designing, evaluating, and implementing sophisticated language systems. Chakir Mahjoubi has delivered advisory and consulting services to prominent organizations in the language technology and NLP sectors, such as Dell Technologies, Harman International, Philips, Samsung, Translate Media, UniFrance, Xerox,
Our Knowledge Platform
As an open-source-oriented knowledge hub and digital publishing platform operating primarily through https://lexsense.net/. Lexsense serves as an independent resource for modernizing linguistic corpora, enhancing semantic search, standardizing terminology, and developing taxonomies to improve discoverability, including in search engines. It combines language research with AI tools to foster better computer understanding of meaning, data organization, and multilingual processing. The platform publishes industry news, research insights, expert commentary, and educational content on semantics, NLP, and AI-driven language technologies, with many articles available for complimentary download upon registration. Registered members gain access to both current and future publications, and readers are encouraged to explore the latest analyses and outputs.
Services and Applications
Lexsense designs custom domain ontologies, terminologies, lexical resources, and NLP workflows that capture authentic expert language, linking texts to entities, concepts, and lexical senses rather than relying solely on keywords. Typical applications include building high-quality, domain-specific vocabularies and datasets for information extraction, text mining, and semantic search, as well as experimenting with knowledge graphs to enable applications that comprehend entities, relations, and word senses across documents and datasets. Ultimately, Lexsense assists organizations in transforming unstructured text into structured, quarriable knowledge, bridging the gap for more effective human-machine interaction.
Our Approach and Invitation to Collaborate
Operating as a for-profit entity that integrates professional consultancy with open research and education, Lexsense provides outreach through its website, videos, and social media, offering accessible explanations of data modelling, language technology, and AI to practitioners, researchers, and learners. Collaborations, guest contributions, and topic suggestions are warmly welcomed.
