Inferring Concept Hierarchies from Text Corpora via Hyperbolic Embeddings
We consider the task of inferring is-a relationships from large text corpora.
For this purpose, we propose a new method combining hyperbolic embeddings and
Hearst patterns. This approach allows us to set appropriate constraints for
inferring concept hierarchies from distributional contexts while also being
able to predict missing is-a relationships and to correct wrong extractions.
Moreover -- and in contrast with other methods -- the hierarchical nature of
hyperbolic space allows us to learn highly efficient representations and to
improve the taxonomic consistency of the inferred hierarchies. Experimentally,
we show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on several
commonly-used benchmarks
OntoAna: Domain Ontology for Human Anatomy
Today, we can find many search engines which provide us with information
which is more operational in nature. None of the search engines provide domain
specific information. This becomes very troublesome to a novice user who wishes
to have information in a particular domain. In this paper, we have developed an
ontology which can be used by a domain specific search engine. We have
developed an ontology on human anatomy, which captures information regarding
cardiovascular system, digestive system, skeleton and nervous system. This
information can be used by people working in medical and health care domain.Comment: Proceedings of 5th CSI National Conference on Education and Research.

Ontologies and Information Extraction
This report argues that, even in the simplest cases, IE is an ontology-driven
process. It is not a mere text filtering method based on simple pattern
matching and keywords, because the extracted pieces of texts are interpreted
with respect to a predefined partial domain model. This report shows that
depending on the nature and the depth of the interpretation to be done for
extracting the information, more or less knowledge must be involved. This
report is mainly illustrated in biology, a domain in which there are critical
needs for content-based exploration of the scientific literature and which
becomes a major application domain for IE
From software APIs to web service ontologies: a semi-automatic extraction method
Successful employment of semantic web services depends on
the availability of high quality ontologies to describe the domains of these services. As always, building such ontologies is difficult and costly, thus hampering web service deployment. Our hypothesis is that since the functionality offered by a web service is reflected by the underlying software, domain ontologies could be built by analyzing the documentation of that software. We verify this hypothesis in the domain of RDF ontology storage tools.We implemented and fine-tuned a semi-automatic method to extract domain ontologies from software documentation. The quality of the extracted ontologies was verified against a high quality hand-built ontology of the same domain. Despite the low linguistic quality of the corpus, our method allows extracting a considerable amount
of information for a domain ontology
Identifying Metaphor Hierarchies in a Corpus Analysis of Finance Articles
Using a corpus of over 17,000 financial news reports (involving over 10M
words), we perform an analysis of the argument-distributions of the UP- and
DOWN-verbs used to describe movements of indices, stocks, and shares. Using
measures of the overlap in the argument distributions of these verbs and
k-means clustering of their distributions, we advance evidence for the proposal
that the metaphors referred to by these verbs are organised into hierarchical
structures of superordinate and subordinate groups
