Abstract

A method and system are provided for automated ontology building. The method includes creating contextual tokens from text, parsing the text into at least one parse tree, and calculating a dependency graph across the contextual tokens using the at least one parse tree. The method further includes generating concept instance candidates and parent-child relationships based on pattern matching and transformation of the at least one parse tree. The method also includes grouping concept instance candidates into concept candidates. The method additionally includes arranging the concept candidates into a tree having tree nodes and creating predicate-based relationships between the tree nodes based on patterns and predicates identified in the text. The method further includes scoring and sorting the tree nodes. The method also includes performing an analysis of the tree nodes and rebalancing the tree based on the analysis to provide an ontology based on the text.
