A Survey on Various Approaches for Taxonomy Construction
Objectives To analysis different approaches for taxonomy construction to improve the knowledge classification, information retrieval and other data mining process. Findings Taxonomies learning keep getting more important process for knowledge sharing about a domain. It is also used for application development such as knowledge searching, information retrieval. The taxonomy can be build manually but it is a complex process when the data are so large and it also produce some errors while taxonomy construction. There is various automatic taxonomy construction techniques are used to learn taxonomy based on keyword phrases, text corpus and from domain specific concepts etc. So it is required to build taxonomy with less human effort and with less error rate. This paper provides detailed information about those techniques. Methods The methods such as lexico syntatic pattern, semi supervised methods, graph based methods, ontoplus, TaxoLearn, Bayesian approach, two step method, ontolearn and Automatic Taxonomy Construction from Text are analyzed in this paper. Application/Improvements The findings of this work prove that the TaxoFinder approach provides better result than other approaches.
