@incollection{cimiano2004learning, abstract = {We present a novel approach to the automatic acquisition of taxonomic relations. The main difference to earlier approaches is that we do not only consider one single source of evidence, i.e. a specific algorithm or approach, but examine the possibility of learning taxonomic relations by considering various and heterogeneous forms of evidence. In particular, we derive these different evidences by using well-known NLP techniques and resources and combine them via two simple strategies. Our approach shows very promising results compared to other results from the literature. The main aim of the work presented in this paper is (i) to gain insight into the behaviour of different approaches to learn taxonomic relations, (ii) to provide a first step towards combining these different approaches, and (iii) to establish a baseline for further research.}, author = {Cimiano, P. and Schmidt-Thieme, L. and Pivk, A. and Staab, S.}, booktitle = {Ontology Learning from Text: Methods, Applications and Evaluation}, editor = {Buitelaar, P. and Cimiano, P. and Magnini, B.}, file = {cimiano2004learning.pdf:cimiano2004learning.pdf:PDF}, groups = {public}, interhash = {456dca134a65c911721b0520a96e2352}, intrahash = {967508b78e610182ff57251eced2912d}, number = 123, pages = {59--73}, publisher = {IOS Press}, series = {Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Appl}, timestamp = {2011-02-02 14:21:11}, title = {Learning Taxonomic Relations from Heterogeneous Evidence}, url = {http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/Publikationen/showPublikation_english?publ_id=746}, username = {dbenz}, year = 2004 } @inproceedings{yang2009metricbased, address = {Singapore}, author = {Yang, Hui and Callan, Jamie}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 47th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL2009)}, interhash = {98be706305a8e0a89a0ec8ece59b386c}, intrahash = {25d6d520d5dc38c61af8401a165b538f}, month = {August}, pages = {271–279}, title = {A Metric-based Framework for Automatic Taxonomy Induction}, year = 2009 } @article{chavalarias2008bottomup, abstract = {Abstract  We propose new methods to detect paradigmatic fields through simple statistics over a scientific content database.

In this work, we explore the relation between terms and concepts and show that for each term there exists a latent subspace dimension for which the term coincides with a concept. By varying the number of dimensions, terms similar but more specific than the concept can be identified, leading to a term taxonomy.}, at = {2010-06-16 01:28:25}, author = {Dupret, Georges and Piwowarski, Benjamin}, booktitle = {ECML/PKDD 2005 Workshop on Knowledge Discovery and Ontologies}, file = {dupret2005deducing.pdf:dupret2005deducing.pdf:PDF}, groups = {public}, interhash = {cd3d6576cddc507e34f16b72e096178a}, intrahash = {b40e062cdb7e352a8a990ba9d951aa0c}, misc_id = {7328234}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2011-02-02 14:24:53}, title = {Deducing a Term Taxonomy from Term Similarities}, username = {dbenz}, year = 2005 } @article{cimiano_hotho_staab_2005, author = {Cimiano, P. and Hotho, A. and Staab, S.}, interhash = {4c09568cff62babd362aab03095f4589}, intrahash = {8299d264161ecd740168c89b781f84ae}, journal = {Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research}, number = 1, pages = {305-339}, title = {Learning Concept Hierarchies from Text Corpora using Formal Concept Analysis}, url = {http://ontology.csse.uwa.edu.au/reference/browse_paper.php?pid=233281549}, volume = 24, year = 2005 } @incollection{cimiano05learning, author = {Cimiano, P. and Schmidt-Thieme, L. and Pivk, A. and Staab, S.}, booktitle = {Ontology Learning from Text: Methods, Applications and Evaluation}, editor = {Buitelaar, P. and Cimiano, P. and Magnini, B.}, interhash = {456dca134a65c911721b0520a96e2352}, intrahash = {d7e8a967de046f396e2155c4b099e660}, number = 123, pages = {59--73}, publisher = {IOS Press}, series = {Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Appl}, title = {Learning Taxonomic Relations from Heterogeneous Evidence}, url = {http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/Publikationen/showPublikation_english?publ_id=746}, year = 2005 }
