Overview • Learning-oriented model of ontology development • Framework for ontology learning • Ontology learning approaches • Classification schema of domains • Open issues • Conclusion
Questions??? • WhatisOntologyLearning? • OntologyLearningreferstotheautomaticdiscoveryandcreationofontologicalknowledgeusing machine learning techniques. • Whatisadvantagesofontologylearningcomparedwithcrafting ontologies? • Alargerscaleandafasterpace. • Mitigatehuman-introducedbiasesandinconsistence.
Major issues in ontology development • Ontology representation: adequacy and inference efficiency • Ontology acquisition (incomplete,subjective,outdated) eg.Dictionaries,webdocuments,databaseschema • Ontology evaluation(content,technology,methodology,application) completeness,consistency,correctness;learning • Ontology maintenance(organize,search,updateexistingontologies) eg.SWOOGLE
Learning-oriented model RODvs.ConventionalOntologyDevelopment? Iterativeprocess Rapid ontology development (ROD)
Requirementsforintegratedtools Functions that can facilitate ontology development: • Knowledge elicitation • Ontology retrieval • Ontology editing • Ontology validation • Collaborative development • Ontology transformation and presentation
Ontology organizationsteps B A A+B • Clusteringsynonymoustermsandtheirrelations • Derivinginverserelations • Discoveringlocalcentersofconcepts • Buildinghigher-levelontologies C C B A c* p j i
Classificationschemaofdomains Domains Poorquality Learningstrategies Approachesselection: • Established vs. under-developeddomains Top-downBottom-up Knowledge-richKnowledge-lean (eg.biology)(eg.communitydevelopment)
Classificationschemaofdomains • Emergingvs. conventionaldomains Bottom-upTop-down Hybrid • Technology-heavyvs.technology-lightdomains (Hybrid) • Self-containedvs.interdisciplinarydomains (Top-level)
Open issues • Human understandable vs. machine-understandable • Learning specific relations eg.Part-wholeforSequenceOntologyforgenomicannotation; Related_synonymforGeneOntology • Learning higher-degree relations eg.Trustrelation:whotrustswhomonwhat • Learning definitions eg.isdefinedas;isreferredtoas
Open issues • Term filtering Suggestion: mutual information and traditional term weighting tech; contrast analysis; anaphora and co-reference resolution • Mapping to high-level ontology Suggestion: path analysis; treat the top-level ontologies as seeds • Evaluation benchmark Suggestion: benchmark corpora • Incremental ontology learning Suggestion: update existing ontologies incrementally
Open issues • Levels of ontology learning eg. “Dell Notebook”canbeasubclassoraninstanceof“Notebook” • Multi-agent learning Suggestion:agent-basedparadigm • Learning beyond text Suggestion:content-based imageretrievaltechs
Conclusion • Ontology operational within web and distributed system • Semanticweb • Ontologies:turnthecurrentwebsiteintoanetworkofknowledgeresourcesandservices
