  14. Background: Multilingualism’s Challenges to HLT The scaling up of language resources in a complex and distributed environment • Language resources are inherently distributed • Language resources are best created and updated where the language is spoken and by people who speak it: human expertise, updating ling. changes, • Impractical to maintain all language resources at the same site: huge quantity, rights December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  15. Multilingualism: Challenges to HLT II The scaling up of language resources in a complex and distributed environment • To overcome linguistic diversity to support shared tasks and applications: web search etc. • To create synergy of information from different languages • To function as a foundation of inter-cultural collaboration December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  16. Proposed Answer to the Challenge Wordnet as shared language resource • Wordnet: a concept-driven and relation-based lexical knowledgebase • About 40 language wordnets have been built • Sharing basic representation of meaning (synset indexes), which is mapped to an upper ontology (SUMO, among others) • Sharing a (universal) set of lexical semantic relations Information can be exchange using the same format regardless of source language December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  17. Proposed Answer to the Challenge Wordnets as Web Services • Wordnet are distributed, just like grid nodes • Each wordnet site will be a grid node • Each will be a natural hosts for language related information service based on wordnet • Including any meta-NLP task: bootstrapping wordnets, harmonizing ontologies, building bilingual lexica, supporting cross-lingual alignments, etc. • And applications: multilingual query expansion, second language e-learning, machine translation, etc. December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  18. The Global Wordnet Grid • First discussed at the 3rd GWA at Jeju, Korea in February 2006, by Chu-Ren Huang, Adam Pease, and Pied Vossen, among others • A call for contribution can be found on GWA website http://www.globalwordnet.org/gwa/gwa_grid.htm • Small scale experiment being carried out by ILC-CNR (Italy) and Academia Sinica (Taiwan) teams • Soria et al. (2006) • Planned strategic session in January 2007 in Kyoto December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  21. Baseline retrieval results 6 persons, 30 high-level questions, December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  22. KYOTO's Solution • Text mining: • Massive and accurate indexing of facts from vast amounts of text; • In any language/culture from scattered sources; • Again and again to detect trends and changes; • Direct relation between knowledge modeling effort and text mining • Knowledge modeling: • automatic learning of terms and concepts from text in any language; • formalization of knowledge in computer usable format -> wordnets & ontologies • Community software: • For experts in the field and not knowledge engineers • Continuous and collaborative effort: • adapt to the changing domain; • consensus in the field; • consensus across languages and cultures • Produce interoperable, formal, standardized knowledge structures; • Relate knowledge structure to expressions in languages December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  24. Integration of knowledge

  25. Available data repositories • Open data project: • DBPedia: 2.6 million things, including at least 213,000 persons, 328,000 places, 57,000 music albums, 36,000 films, 20,000 companies. The knowledge base consists of 274 million pieces of information (RDF triples). • GeoNames • Domain database Species 2000: 2,1 million species • Term database: 500,000 terms per 10,000 documents per language • Wordnets for 7 languages: about 50,000 to 120,000 synsets per language • Ontologies: EuroWordNet top ontology, SUMO, DOLCE December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  26. How to integrate the data? • Species 2000 vocabulary: 2,171,281 concepts in MySql database with parent relations: • Kingdom -> Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species -> Infra species • Animalia -> Chordata -> Amphibia -> Anura -> Leptodactylidae -> Eleutherodactylus -> Eleutherodactylus augusti • Converted to SKOS format • Aligned with DBPedia for language labels • Aligned with Wordnet using vocabulary and relation mappings • Published in Virtuoso, accessed with SPARQL queries December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  27. How to integrate data?Extending language labels using DBPedia December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  28. Kyoto Knowledge Base 500K T Terms Domain Domain T T Domain Wn 2,100K V Wn Vocabularies Wn 500K Terms Ontology Base concepts Domain Domain Wn DBPedia Wn 2,100K Domain Domain Vocabularies T V Wn Wn V T Domain Domain DOLCE/OntoWordnet December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung T V

  29. Should all knowledge be stored in the central ontology? • Vocabularies are too large for full inferencing • Vocabularies are linguistically too diverse to be represented in an ontology • Inferencing capabilities of formal ontologies is not needed for all levels of knowledge • A model of division of labor (along the lines of Putnam 1975) in which knowledge is stored in 3 layers: • SKOS vocabularies and term databases • wordnet (WN-LMF) • ontology (OWL-DL), • Each layer supports different types of inferencing ranging from Sparql queries, graph algorithms to reasoning. • Mapping relations that support the division of labour and different types of inferencing and that allow for the encoding of language-specific lexicalizations and restrictions. December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  30. What does the computer need to know? • Distinction between rigid and non-rigid (Welty & Guarino 2002): • being a "cat" is essential to individual's existence and therefore rigid • being a "pet" is a temporarily role and therefore non-rigid; a cat can become a pet and stop being a pet without ceasing to exist • Felix is born as a cat and will always be a cat, but during some period Felix can become a pet and stop being a pet while it continuous to exist • All 2.1 million species are rigid concepts December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  31. What does the computer need to know? • Roles and processes in documents have more information value than the defining properties of species: • Species defined in terms of physical properties already known to expert; • Roles such as "invasive species", "migration species", "threatened species" express THE important properties of instances of species • Telicity: Roles are typically the terms we learn from the text not the species! December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  32.

  38. Personal Journey: Building an internationally recognized career on Taiwan-based research December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  39. Pre-History • Pioneering Chinese Language Resources and Language Processing: since 1988 • Construction of WordNet – Since 2000 • Organized COLING: 2002 • ISLE: International Standards in Language Engineering 2000-2002 • EC (ISLE – IST-1999-10647)+NSF+Asia December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  40. Key Perspectives:Global ViewIntegrative Thinking/Opposable Mind December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  41. Global View • Think and Act Globally • Put what is good for the world before what is good for Taiwan • What is good for the world must be good for Taiwan, but what is good for Taiwan (thinking parochially) may not be good for the world • Hence cannot be supported by other partners • CANNOT be done  NOT GOOD for Taiwan December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  42. Think Globally • Research Direction: Think of Global Impact • Not of local ranking • Find your own niche 寧為雞首，不為牛後 • Think of the scale of Taiwan • And act strategically • Contributing Team Partner vs. Team Leader : Choose the RIGHT team, NOT my team December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung

  43. Integrative Thinking/Opposable Mind • Create a Win-Win Situation out of a Zero-Sum Game • The Opposable Mind (Roger Martin 2007) • The Design of Business: Why Design Thinking is the Next Competitive Advantage (Martin 2009) December 30 2009, NSYSU, Kaohsiung
