Advancing Natural Language Understanding with Collaboratively Generated Content

Proliferation of ubiquitous access to the Internet enables millions of Web users to collaborate online in a variety of activities. Many of these activities result in the construction of large repositories of knowledge, either as their primary aim (e.g., Wikipedia) or as a by-product (e.g., Yahoo Answers). In this paper, we discuss how to use the cornucopia of world knowledge encoded in the repositories of collaboratively generated content (CGC) for advancing computers ability to process human language. [Pg.55]

REPOSITORIES OF COLLABORATIVELY GENERATED CONTENT AS AN ENABLING RESOURCE [Pg.55]

The unprecedented amounts of information in CGC enable new, knowledge-rich approaches to natural language processing, which are significantly more powerful than the conventional word-based methods. Considerable progress has [Pg.55]

In the remainder of this article, I first discuss using CGC repositories for computing semantic relatedness of words and then proceed to higher-level applications such as information retrieval. [Pg.56]

Information retrieval systems traditionally rely on textual keywords to index and retrieve documents. Keyword-based retrieval may return inaccurate and incomplete results when different keywords are used to describe the same concept in the documents and in the queries. Furthermore, the relationship between those related keywords may be semantic rather than syntactic, and capturing it thus requires access to comprehensive human world knowledge. Previous approaches have attempted to tackle these difficulties by using manually built thesauri, by relying on term co-occurrence data, or by extracting latent word relationships and concepts from a corpus. ESA introduced in the previous section, which represents the meaning of texts in a very high-dimensional space of [Pg.57]
