Towards Auto-Construction of Domain Ontology: An Auto-Constructed Domain Conceptual Lexicon and its Application to Extractive Summarization
Hsun-Hui Huang, Yau-Hwang Kuo · 2007
A domain conceptual lexicon can be used for the construction of a domain ontology. In this paper, a method of auto-constructing a domain conceptual lexicon is proposed. The conceptual lexicon is represented by WordNet senses and their relations. Using the domain conceptual lexicon, an extractive summarization method is proposed. A characteristic of the scheme is that each sentence of a document is represented by a set of WordNet senses and constitutes a fuzzy transaction for mining conceptual lexicon and ranking relevance. A prototype of this automatic text summarization scheme is built and an intrinsic method with the information-retrieval criteria is used for measuring the summary quality.
