Jim Brander, Alex Lupu · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2008
A method for extracting the complete knowledge structure from technical free text is shown, focusing on particular aspects of the process. Extensions to a basic knowledge formalism necessary to allow building of the complete activatable structure from information-rich text are described. The relevance of the extensions to aspects of information mining is covered, including the resources necessary for mining of knowledge structure in minute detail. The paper gives some examples of the cognitive activity required to automatically read and understand text.
