Automatically structuring domain knowledge from text: An overview of current research

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of automatic methods for building domain knowledge structures (domain models) from text collections. Applications of domain models have a long history within knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence. In the last couple of decades they have surfaced noticeably as a useful tool within natural language processing, information retrieval and semantic web technology. Inspired by the ubiquitous propagation of domain model structures that are emerging in several research disciplines, we give an overview of the current research landscape and some techniques and approaches. We will also discuss trade-offs between different approaches and point to some recent trends.

External to internal search: Associating searching on search engines with searching on sites

“…In addition to providing insights, mining web logs can have fruitful implications, and the results can be used for improving a search engine. For example, Web search queries can be used as a form of implicit intent or feedback for the searcher's intended action (Clark et al, 2012). Mining web search logs can also provide insights into the searcher's goals (Jansen, 2006).…”

New knowledge in strategic management through visually mining semantic networks

“…When constructing the DOM, Wertheimer's (1959) Gestalt Principles, Eppler and Burkhard's (2005) knowledge visualization guidelines, and Gavrilova's (2007) ontology design guidelines have been applied. Instead of automatic structuring of the domain knowledge (Clark et al, 2012), the DOM has been constructed manually for maximum accuracy. Figure 1 shows the activities, knowledge prior and after each stage, its nature, actors involved, sources and tools used at each stage of the framework.…”

Adaptivity in E-Learning Systems

“…It is composed of a set of domain knowledge elements [3] and is the result of capturing and structuring knowledge related to a specific domain [38]. Knowledge types can be mainly classified as declarative (i.e.…”
