  2. Outline • Motivation and state of the art • SKEL research • Vision • Information integration in CROSSMARC. • Meta-learning for information extraction. • Context-free grammar learning. • Ontology enrichment. • Bootstrapping ontology evolution with multimediainformation extraction. • Open issues Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  3. Motivation • Practical information extraction requires a conceptual description of the domain, e.g. an ontology, and a grammar. • Manual creation and maintenance of these resources is expensive. • Machine learning has been used to: • Learn ontologies based on extracted instances. • Learn extraction grammars, given the conceptual model. • Study how the two processes are interacting and the possibility of combining them. Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  4. Information extraction • Common approach: shallow parsing with regular grammars. • Limited use of deep analysis to improve extraction accuracy (HPSGs, concept graphs). • Linking of extraction patterns to ontologies (e.g. information extraction ontologies). • Initial attempts to combine syntax and semantics (Systemic Functional Grammars). • Learning simple extraction patterns (regular expressions, HMMs, tree-grammars, etc.) Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  5. Ontology learning • Deductive approach to ontology modification: driven by linguistic rules. • Inductive identification of new concepts/terms. • Clustering, based on lexico-syntactic analysis of the text (subcat frames). • Formal Concept Analysis for term clustering and concept identification. • Clustering and merging of conceptual graphs (conceptual graph theory). • Deductive learning of extraction grammars in parallel with the identification of concepts. Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  7. SKEL - vision Research objective:innovative knowledge technologies for reducing the information overload on the Web Areas of research activity: • Information gathering (retrieval, crawling, spidering) • Information filtering (text and multimedia classification) • Information extraction (named entity recognition and classification, role identification, wrappers, grammar and lexicon learning) • Personalization (user stereotypes and communities) • Ontology learning and population Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  9. CROSSMARC Objectives • crawl the Web for interesting Web pages, • extract information from pages of different sites without a standardized format (structured, semi-structured, free text), • process Web pages written in several languages, • be customized semi-automatically to new domains and languages, • deliver integrated information according to personalized profiles. Develop technology for Information Integration that can: Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  13. Meta-learning for Web IE Motivation: • There are many different learning methods, producing different types of extraction grammar. • In CROSSMARC we had four different approaches with significant difference in the extracted information. Proposed approach: • Use meta-learning to combine the strengths of individual learning methods. Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  22. Learning CFGs Motivation: • Wanting to provide more complex extraction patterns for less structured text. • Wanting to learn more compact and human-comprehensible grammars. • Wanting to be able to process large corpora containing only positive examples. Proposed approach: • Efficient learning of context free grammars from positive examples, guided by Minimum Description Length. Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  23. Learning CFGs • Infers context-free grammars. • Learns from positive examples only. • Overgenarisation controlled through a heuristic, based on MDL. • Two basic/three auxiliary learning operators. • Two search strategies: • Beam search. • Genetic search.

Outline • Motivation and state of the art • SKEL research • Vision • Information integration in CROSSMARC. • Meta-learning for information extraction. • Context-free grammar learning. • Ontology enrichment. • Bootstrapping ontology evolution with multimediainformation extraction. • Open issues Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  30. Ontology Enrichment • We concentrate on instances. • Highly evolving domain (e.g. laptop descriptions) • New Instances characterize new concepts. e.g. ‘Pentium 2’ is an instance that denotes a new concept if it doesn’t exist in the ontology. • New surface appearance of an instance. e.g. ‘PIII’ is a different surface appearance of ‘Intel Pentium 3’ • The poor performance of many Information Integration systems is due to their incapability to handle the evolving nature of the domain. Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  31. Ontology Enrichment Annotating Corpus Using Domain Ontology machine learning Corpus Additional annotations Multi-Lingual Domain Ontology Information extraction Ontology Enrichment / Population Validation Domain Expert Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  32. Finding synonyms • The number of instances for validation increases with the size of the corpus and the ontology. • There is a need for supporting the enrichment of the ‘synonymy’ relationship. • Discover automatically different surface appearances of an instance (CROSSMARC synonymy relationship). • Issues to be handled: Synonym: ‘Intel pentium 3’ - ‘Intel pIII’ Orthographical: ‘Intel p3’ - ‘intell p3’ Lexicographical : ‘Hewlett Packard’ - ‘HP’ Combination :‘IntellPentium 3’ - ‘P III’ Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  33. COCLU • COCLU(COmpression-based CLUstering): a model based algorithm that discovers typographic similarities between strings (sequences of elements-letters) over an alphabet (ASCII characters) employing a new score function CCDiff. • CCDiff is defined as the difference in the code length of a cluster (i.e., of its instances), when adding a candidate string. Huffman trees are used as models of the clusters. • COCLUiteratively computes the CCDiff of each new string from each cluster implementing a hill-climbing search. The new string is added to the closest cluster, or a new cluster is created (threshold on CCDiff ). Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  36. BOEMIE - motivation • Multimedia content grows with increasing rates in public and proprietary webs. • Hard to provide semantic indexing of multimedia content. • Significant advances in automatic extraction of low-level features from visual content. • Little progress in the identification of high-level semantic features • Little progress in the effective combination of semantic features from different modalities. • Great effort in producing ontologies for semantic webs. • Hard to build and maintain domain-specific multimedia ontologies.

  39. KR issues • Is there a common formalism to capture the necessary semantics + syntactic + lexical knowledge for IE? • Is that better than having separate representations for different tasks? • Do we need an intermediate formalism (e.g. grammar + CG + ontology)? • Do we need to represent uncertainty (e.g. using probabilistic graphical models)? Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  40. ML issues • What types and which aspects of grammars and conceptual structures can we learn? • What training data do we need? Can we reduce the manual annotation effort? • What background knowledge do we need and what is the role of deduction? • What is the role of multi-strategy learning, especially if complex representations are used? Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  41. Content-type issues • What is the role of semantically annotated content in learning, e.g. as training data? • What is the role of hypertext as a graph? • Can we extract information from multimedia content? • How can ontologies and learning help improve extraction from multimedia? Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05

  42. SKEL Introduction • This is research of many current and past members of SKEL. • CROSSMARC is joint work of the project consortium (NCSR “Demokritos”, Uni of Edinburgh, Uni of Roma ‘Tor Vergata’, Veltinet, Lingway). Acknowledgements Kassel, 22/07/2005 ICCS’05
