Domain-aware ontology matching
During the last years, technological advances have created new ways of
communication, which have motivated governments, companies and institutions
to digitalise the data they have in order to make it accessible and transferable to
other people. Despite the millions of digital resources that are currently available,
their diversity and heterogeneous knowledge representation make complex the
process of exchanging information automatically. Nowadays, the way of tackling
this heterogeneity is by applying ontology matching techniques with the aim of
finding correspondences between the elements represented in different resources.
These approaches work well in some cases, but in scenarios when there are
resources from many different areas of expertise (e.g. emergency response) or
when the knowledge represented is very specialised (e.g. medical domain), their
performance drops because matchers cannot find correspondences or find incorrect
ones.
In our research, we have focused on tackling these problems by allowing
matchers to take advantage of domain-knowledge. Firstly, we present an
innovative perspective for dealing with domain-knowledge by considering three
different dimensions (specificity - degree of specialisation -, linguistic structure -
the role of lexicon and grammar -, and type of knowledge resource - regarding
generation methodologies). Secondly, domain-resources are classified according
to the combination of these three dimensions. Finally, there are proposed several
approaches that exploit each dimension of domain-knowledge for enhancing
matchers’ performance. The proposals have been evaluated by matching two
of the most used classifications of diseases (ICD-10 and DSM-5), and the results
show that matchers considerably improve their performance in terms of f-measure.
The research detailed in this thesis can be used as a starting point to delve into
the area of domain-knowledge matching. For this reason, we have also included
several research lines that can be followed in the future to enhance the proposed
approaches
The evolution of case grammar
There are few linguistic phenomena that have seduced linguists so skillfully as grammatical case has done. Ever since Panini (4th Century BC), case has claimed a central role in linguistic theory and continues to do so today. However, despite centuries worth of research, case has yet to reveal its most important secrets. This book offers breakthrough explanations for the understanding of case through agent-based experiments in cultural language evolution. The experiments demonstrate that case systems may emerge because they have a selective advantage for communication: they reduce the cognitive effort that listeners need for semantic interpretation, while at the same time limiting the cognitive resources required for doing so
