Learning and Exploiting Concept Networks with ConNeKTion

Abstract

Studying, understanding and exploiting the content of a document collection require automatic techniques that can effectively support the users in extracting useful information from it and reason with this information. Concept networks (e.g., taxonomies) may play a relevant role in this perspective, but are seldom available, and cannot be manually built and maintained cheaply and reliably. On the other hand, automated learning of these resources from text needs to be robust with respect to missing or partial knowledge, because often only sparse fragments of the target network can be extracted. This work presents ConNeKTion, a tool that is able to learn concept networks from plain text and to structure and enrich them by finding concept generalizations. The proposed methodologies are general and applicable to any language. It also provides functionalities for the exploitation of the learned knowledge, and a control panel that allows the user to comfortably carry out these activities. Several experiments and applications are reported, showing the usefulness and flexibility of ConNeKTion.
