Abstract

Ontology consists of concepts, taxonomic relations and non-taxonomic relations. The majority of the ontology learning tools focus on discovering concepts and taxonomic relations. Very little effort has been put on discovering non-taxonomic relations. In this paper, we present a concept correlation search framework to discover non-taxonomic concept pairs from unstructured text. Our framework features the (a) extraction of correlated concepts beyond ordinary search window size of a single sentence; (b) use of lift as interestingness measure for association rule mining; (c) harness of 2- itemsets association rules from n- itemsets association rules where n>2; and (d) identification of non-taxonomic concept pairs based on existing domain ontology. The proposed framework has been tested with the Fisheries Oceanography journals, and the results demonstrate significant improvements over traditional association rule approach in search of non-taxonomic concept pairs.
