Joint knowledge capture for grammars and ontologies
Udo Hahn, Kornél Markó · 2001
We introduce a methodology for automating the maintenance and growth of domain-specific concept taxonomies and grammatical class hierarchies simultaneously, based on knowledge capture from natural language texts. The assimilation process is centered around the linguistic and conceptual `quality' of various forms of evidence underlying the generation, assessment and on-going refinement of lexical and concept hypotheses. On the basis of the strength of evidence, hypotheses are ranked according to plausibility, and the most reasonable ones are selected for assimilation into the given lexical class hierarchy and domain ontology.
