Ontosophie: A Semi-Automatic System for Ontology Population from Text
This event took place on Monday 06 December 2004 at 12:30
David Celjuska Technical University Kosice, Slovakia
In this talk I will describe Ontosophie, a system for semi-automatic population of ontologies with instances from unstructured text. Extraction rules are generated from annotated text using supervise learning techniques. These rules are then applied to new articles to populate the ontology. Hence, the system classifies stories and populates a hand-crafted ontology with new instances. It is based on three components: Marmot, a natural language processor; Crystal, a dictionary induction tool; and Badger, an information extraction tool.
In the talk I will address the major challenges and introduce confidence values that we implemented in the system to enhance its performance. Different methods of confidence computation will be given and their results compared on a text corpus consisting of KMi news articles.
Finally, the presentation will be followed with a brief demonstration of Ontosophie.
The talk is being hosted by Dr. Maria Vargas-Vera from KMi.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
