Ontology Evaluation through Text Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method to evaluate a search ontology, which relies on mapping ontology instances to textual documents. On the basis of this mapping, we evaluate the adequacy of ontology relations by measuring their classification potential over the textual documents. This data-driven method provides concrete feedback to ontology maintainers and a quantitative estimation of the functional adequacy of the ontology relations towards search experience improvement. We specifically evaluate whether an ontology relation can help a semantic search engine support exploratory search. We test this ontology evaluation method on an ontology in the Movies domain, that has been acquired semi-automatically from the integration of multiple semi-structured and textual data sources (e.g., IMDb and Wikipedia). We automatically construct a domain corpus from a set of movie instances by crawling the Web for movie reviews (both professional and user reviews). The 1-1 relation between textual documents (reviews) and movie instances in the ontology enables us to translate ontology relations into text classes. We verify that the text classifiers induced by key ontology relations (genre, keywords, actors) achieve high performance and exploit the properties of the learned text classifiers to provide concrete feedback on the ontology. The proposed ontology evaluation method is general and relies on the possibility to automatically align textual documents to ontology instances.

Ontologies provide a structural organizational knowledge, they support the exchange and sharing of information. Moreover, one of the main benefits of using ontologies is the ability to infer new knowledge that allows the development of more realistic applications such as semantic search, automated reasoning, classification, query answering, among others. The need for overcoming the bottleneck, ...
