OntoPopulis, a System for Learning Semantic Classes

Hristo Tanev


Abstract
Ontopopulis is a multilingual weakly supervised terminology learning algorithm which takes on its input a set of seed terms for a semantic category and an unannotated text corpus. The algorithm learns additional terms, which belong to this category. For example, for the category “environmental disasters” the input seed set in English is environmental disaster, water pollution, climate change. Among the highest ranked new terms which the system learns for this semantic class are deforestation, global warming and so on.
