Last Update: September 2nd, 2009

This research is about using natural language processing and machine learning to analyze, construct, and populate knowledge base in knowledge based systems. The project will focus on a recent topic in this field, i.e. Ontology Learning from Text, which aims to automatically construct ontology, a kind of knowledge representation method to facilitate Semantic Web and intelligent agent communications, by learning concept relations and properties from natural language text. It is one of the efforts towards knowledge discovery and knowledge management, and can be applied in many areas such as e-commerce, business intelligence and e-learning. The graduate students who want to pursue the research need to be familiar with and interested in artificial intelligence, including knowledge representation, natural language processing and machine learning. This research topic is suitable for Project or Thesis.
