Towards Text Knowledge Engineering

چکیده
We introduce a methodology for automating the maintenance of domain-specific taxonomies based on natural language text understanding. A given ontology is incrementally updated as new concepts are acquired from real-world texts. The acquisition process is centered around the linguistic and conceptual “quality” of various forms of evidence underlying the generation and refinement of concept hypotheses. On the basis of the quality of evidence, concept hypotheses are ranked according to credibility and the most credible ones are selected for assimilation into the domain knowledge base.

Text-based Knowledge Acquisition for Ontology Engineering
This paper describes an approach towards ontology engineering that makes use of text technology for extracting relevant semantic relations from document collections. A short description of corpus characteristics and examples of statistical text analysis results show how input for ontology design can be generated automatically. The Topic Map standard is used as an example for standardised repres...
متن کاملTowards a Workbench for Acquisition of Domain Knowledge from Natural Language
In this paper we describe an architecture and functionality of main components of a workbench for an acquisition of domain knowledge from large text corpora. The workbench supports an incremental process of corpus analysis starting from a rough automatic extraction and organization of lexico-semantic regularities and ending with a computer supported analysis of extracted data and a semi-automat...
متن کاملUsing a semantic network for information extraction
This paper describes the approach to knowledge representation taken in the LaSIE Information Extraction (IE) system. Unlike many IE systems that skim texts and use large collections of shallow, domain-specific patterns and heuristics to fill in templates, LaSIE attempts a fuller text analysis, first translating individual sentences to a quasi-logical form, and then constructing a weak discourse...

-A top-down approach to the determination of grammar engineering methods for the construction of Natural Language Grammars for Question Answering Systems based on Intelligent Text Mining for Biomedical applications is presented in the present paper. Our proposal is to start with the formulation of the ultimate task goal such as specialized question answering and derive from it the specification...
متن کاملNatural language processing for documentation analysis
In view of the increasing interest in ontologies as a source of world knowledge, this deliverable presents different types of ontologies and describes the approach adopted within the Klase project towards the problem of mapping specialized linguistic ontologies to generic resources. It reports on investigations related to the possibility of applying linguistic ontologies to the problem of inter...
