It presents current research in ontology learning, addressing three perspectives. The first perspective looks at methodologies that have been proposed to automatically extract information from texts and to give a structured organization to such knowledge, including approaches based on machine learning techniques. Then there are evaluation methods for ontology learning, aiming at defining procedures and metrics for a quantitative evaluation of the ontology learning task; and finally application scenarios that make ontology learning a challenging area in the context of real applications such as bio-informatics. According to the three perspectives mentioned above, the book is divided into three sections, each including a selection of papers addressing respectively the methods, the applications and the evaluation of ontology learning approaches.}, timestamp = {2008.02.05}, file = {IOS Product page:http\://www.iospress.nl/html/9781586035235:URL}, isbn = {978-1-58603-523-5}, owner = {flint}, keywords = {ai analysis book language learn ontology processing semantic text v0805 web } } @book{BuitelaarCimiano2008, title = {Ontology Learning and Population: Bridging the Gap between Text and Knowledge}, address = {Amsterdam}, editor = {Paul Buitelaar and Philipp Cimiano}, publisher = {IOS Press}, series = {Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications}, volume = {167}, year = {2008}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/26c49dae9157532a01415c35abc7091d1/flint63}, abstract = {The promise of the Semantic Web is that future web pages will be annotated not only with bright colors and fancy fonts as they are now, but with annotation extracted from large domain ontologies that specify, to a computer in a way that it can exploit, what information is contained on the given web page. The presence of this information will allow software agents to examine pages and to make decisions about content as humans are able to do now. The classic method of building an ontology is to gather a committee of experts in the domain to be modeled by the ontology, and to have this committee agree on which concepts cover the domain, on which terms describe which concepts, on what relations exist between each concept and what the possible attributes of each concept are. All ontology learning systems begin with an ontology structure, which may just be an empty logical structure, and a collection of texts in the domain to be modeled. An ontology learning system can be seen as an interplay between three things: an existing ontology, a collection of texts, and lexical syntactic patterns. The Semantic Web will only be a reality if we can create structured, unambiguous ontologies that model domain knowledge that computers can handle. The creation of vast arrays of such ontologies, to be used to mark-up web pages for the Semantic Web, can only be accomplished by computer tools that can extract and build large parts of these ontologies automatically. This book provides the state-of-art of many automatic extraction and modeling techniques for ontology building. The maturation of these techniques will lead to the creation of the Semantic Web.}, timestamp = {2008.02.05}, file = {IOS Product page:http\://www.iospress.nl/html/9781586038182:URL}, isbn = {978-1-58603-818-2}, owner = {flint}, keywords = {ai analysis book language learn ontology processing semantic text v0805 web } } @article{OberleAnkolekarEtAl07jws, title = {{DOLCE} ergo {SUMO}: On foundational and domain models in the {SmartWeb} Integrated Ontology ({SWIntO})}, author = {Daniel Oberle and Anupriya Ankolekar and Pascal Hitzler and Philipp Cimiano and Michael Sintek and Malte Kiesel and Babak Mougouie and Stephan Baumann and Shankar Vembu and Massimo Romanelli and Paul Buitelaar and Ralf Engel and Daniel Sonntag and Norbert Reithinger and Berenike Loos and Hans-Peter Zorn and Vanessa Micelli and Robert Porzel and Christian Schmidt and Moritz Weiten and Felix Burkhardt and Jianshen Zhou}, journal = {Web Semantics}, number = {3}, pages = {156-174}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.websem.2007.06.002}, volume = {5}, year = {2007}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/21991c7632acb5822084fc962d9740eac/flint63}, abstract = {Increased availability of mobile computing, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), creates the potential for constant and intelligent access to up-to-date, integrated and detailed information from the Web, regardless of one's actual geographical position. Intelligent question-answering requires the representation of knowledge from various domains, such as the navigational and discourse context of the user, potential user questions, the information provided by Web services and so on, for example in the form of ontologies. Within the context of the SmartWeb project, we have developed a number of domain-specific ontologies that are relevant for mobile and intelligent user interfaces to open-domain question-answering and information services on the Web. To integrate the various domain-specific ontologies, we have developed a foundational ontology, the SmartSUMO ontology, on the basis of the DOLCE and SUMO ontologies. This allows us to combine all the developed ontologies into a single SmartWeb Integrated Ontology (SWIntO) having a common modeling basis with conceptual clarity and the provision of ontology design patterns for modeling consistency. In this paper, we present SWIntO, describe the design choices we made in its construction, illustrate the use of the ontology through a number of applications, and discuss some of the lessons learned from our experiences.}, issn = {1570-8268}, timestamp = {2008.02.05}, file = {Preprint:2007/OberleAnkolekarEtAl07jws.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, keywords = {ai design dialog multimodal ontology paper semantic smartweb v0805 web } } @inproceedings{CimianoHaaseHeizmann07IUI, title = {Porting Natural Language Interfaces between Domains: An Experimental User Study with the {ORAKEL} System}, address = {New York, USA}, author = {Philipp Cimiano and Peter Haase and Jörg Heizmann}, booktitle = {{IUI '07:} Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces}, pages = {180-189}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1216295.1216330}, year = {2007}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23081fc05e0924c378eba9805f937c8bf/flint63}, abstract = {We present a user-centered model for porting natural language interfaces (NLIs) between domains efficiently. The model assumes that domain experts without any background knowledge about computational linguistics will perform the customization of the NLI to a specific domain. In fact, it merely requires familiarity with the underlying knowledge base as well as with a few basic subcategorization types. Our model is iterative in the sense that the adaption of the NLI is performed in several cycles on the basis of the questions which the NLI failed to answer, thus iteratively increasing the coverage of the system. We provide experimental evidence in form of a user study as well as a case study involving a real-world application corroborating that our model is indeed a feasible way of customizing the interface to a certain domain.}, location = {Honolulu, Hawaii, USA}, file = {ACM Digital Library:2007/CimianoHaaseHeizmann07IUI.pdf:PDF}, isbn = {1-595-93481-2}, keywords = {ai interaction interface knowledge language paper processing user v0805 } }
