Natural language processing using an ontology-based concept embedding model

摘要

A computer system generates a vector space model based on an ontology of concepts. One or more training examples are extracted for one or more concepts of a hierarchical ontology, wherein the one or more training examples for the one or more concepts are based on neighboring concepts in the hierarchical ontology. A plurality of vectors, each including one or more features, are initialized, wherein each vector corresponds to a concept of the one or more concepts. A vector space model is generated by iteratively modifying one or more vectors of the plurality of vectors to optimize a loss function. Natural language processing is performed using the vector space model. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for generating a vector space model in substantially the same manner described above.
