Minimally-Supervised Extraction of Domain-Specific Part-Whole Relations Using Wikipedia as Knowledge-Base - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Ashwin Ittoo and Gosse Bouma.

Overview

Authors present a minimally-supervised approach for learning part-whole relations from texts. Unlike previous techniques, authors focused on sparse, domain-specific texts. The novelty in approach lies in the use of Wikipedia as a knowledge-base, from which authors first acquire a set of reliable patterns that express part-whole relations. This is achieved by a minimally-supervised algorithm. Authors then use the patterns acquired to extract part-whole relation triples from a collection of sparse, domain-specific texts. Authors strategy, of learning in one domain and applying the knowledge in another domain is based upon the notion of domain-adaption. It allows us to overcome the challenges of learning the relations directly from the sparse, domain-specific corpus. Authors experimental evaluations reveal that, despite its general-purpose nature, Wikipedia can be exploited as a source of knowledge for improving the performance of domain-specific part-whole relation extraction. As other contributions, authors propose a mechanism that mitigates the negative impact of semantic-drift on minimally-supervised algorithms. Also, authors represent the patterns in the extracted relations using sophisticated syntactic structures that avoid the limitations of traditional surface string representations. In addition, authors show that domain-specific part-whole relations cannot be conclusively classified in existing taxonomies.
