Description

Taxonomy learning is an important task for knowledge acquisition, sharing, and classification as well as application development and utilization in various domains. To reduce human effort to build a taxonomy from scratch and improve the quality of the learned taxonomy, we propose a new taxonomy learning approach, named TaxoFinder. TaxoFinder takes three steps to automatically build a taxonomy. First, it identifies domain-specific concepts from a domain text corpus. Second, it builds a graph representing how such concepts are associated together based on their co-occurrences.
