Automatic Concept Acquisition from Real-World Texts

Udo Hahn, Manfred Klenner · 2002

We introduce a concept learning methodology for text understanding systems that is based on terminological knowledge representation and reasoning. Quality-based metareasoning techniques allow for an incremental evaluation and selection of concept hypotheses. This methodology is particularly aimed at real-world text understanding environments where lexical/conceptual resources cannot be completely specified prior to text analysis and, as a consequence of partial understanding, competing concept hypotheses with different levels of credibility have to be managed.
