THERE IS AN additional ABSTRACT IN OTRS AS PDF I would like to give a lecture on a project for mining the wikipedias in order to create a semantic network and dictionary. I'm Duesentrieb at the de:wp, the commons and on meta, Gearloose at the en:wp.
There is a loose collection of ideas at http://brightbyte.de/wiki/?WikiWordExtraction (german) that outline the project. I will prepare the lecture and paper in english.
Here are a few key points:
- analysis is focused on link structure, analysis of natural language is avoided.
- isolation of concepts and terms that refer to the same concept in different languages.
- identification of groups of synonyms, homonyms, hyponyms
- extraction of sematic relations like is-a, part-of and other ontological concepts
This project is (hopefully) going to be my major thesis (Diplomarbeit) at the Universität Leipzig. I am planning to do this in cooperation with the Wortschatz project (http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de). Hopefully until august I will have a first prototype running and will be able to show some results.
I know of at least two people who are planning on giving related lectures at wikimania: nsh (of en:wp) and GerardM (of nl:wp). I'm in contact with them and will try to coordinate and cooperate with them in preparation of out talks at wikimania. I CC this mail to them for teir information.
I would like to do a full lecture on this, but if the schedule is tight, I can go for a short presentation, or alternatively would share time with nsh and/or gerard (I have not asked them about this, though). Please tell me, so I can plan ahead and know how much material I should prepare.
