航空术语语义知识库ATHowNet的构建

Constructing of ATHowNet: A Semantic Knowledge Base for Aviation Terms

语义知识库在自然语言处理的许多领域中起着重要的作用。现有的语义知识库主要面向常识知识,特定领域的语义知识库则很少。文章将知网(HowNet)的理论体系与概念表示方法扩展至航空领域,提出了一个航空领域术语语义知识库——ATHowNet,并介绍了构建过程。该知识库包含3700个概念、3959个概念关系和3864个术语。在航空术语相似度计算及词类比任务上应用与验证了ATHowNet,结果证实了其在航空领域概念语义描述及基于概念关系推理上的有效性。

Semantic knowledge base plays an important role in many areas of natural language processing.Existing semantic knowledge bases are produced mainly for common sense knowledge,and there is few semantic knowledge base for specific domains.This paper extends the theory and concept representation method of HowNet to the aviation domain,proposes a semantic knowledge base for aviation terms,ATHowNet,and describe the process of constructing it.This knowledge base contains 3700 concepts,3959 relations and 3864 terms.ATHowNet is applied and verified in the task of aviation term similarity calculation and word analogy.The results show that ATHowNet is effective in aviation domain concept description and reasoning based on concept relationship.
