Objectives © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 9

Knowledge Capture u Explicit Capture u Extraction From Text u Case-based Reasoning u Enhancement of Existing Documents © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 10

Explicit Capture u conventional u u techniques for knowledge acquisition interviews with experts knowledge engineers u advantages u u carefully constructed suitable knowledge representation methods usually common-sense evaluation sometimes formal evaluation u consistency checks, other formal aspects © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 11

Extraction From Text u syntactic u keywords u u essentially construction of an index descriptive features u semantic u level document structure u requires information about structure u u level tags, DDT, RDF sentence structure u natural language processing (NLP) u pragmatic u level context u thesaurus, ontology, NLP © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 12

Case-based Reasoning u solutions to a problem in a specific context are collected u represented in a structured format u u u problem, context, solution usable by a computer-based system cases are often represented through frames or similar mechanisms u new u u cases are matched against existing ones patterns in the frames provide the basis for matching the suitability of the solution is judged by the user © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 13

Enhancement of Existing Documents u in addition to the methods mentioned above, collections of documents can be enhanced u u addition of meta-knowledge integration into an existing framework/ontology u u u manually through categorization automatically through keyword extraction indirectly through statistical correlations with other documents © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 14

Transfer of Knowledge u Communication u u Basic Concepts Language and Communication u u u Natural Language Formal Languages Communication Models © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 15

Basic Concepts u communication u u exchange of information requires a shared system of signs greatly enhanced by language speaker u u u produces signs as utterances general: not only spoken language listener (hearer) u perceives and interprets signs © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 16

Purpose of Communication u sharing of information among agents or systems u query other agents for information u responses to queries u requests or commands v actions to be performed for another agent u offer v proposition for collaboration u acknowledgement v confirmation of requests, offers u sharing v of experiences, feelings © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 17

Communication Problems u intention u what is the expected outcome (speaker’s perspective) u timing u when is a communication act appropriate u selection u which act is the right one u language u what sign system should be used u interpretation u will the intended meaning be conveyed to the listener u ambiguity u can the intention be expressed without the possibility of misunderstandings © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 18

Language and Communication u Natural u used by humans evolves over time moderately to highly ambiguous u Formal u u u Languages invented rigidly defined little ambiguity © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 19

Natural Language u formal u sometimes non-systematic, inconsistent, ambiguous u mostly u u description is very difficult used for human communication easy on humans tough on computers u context u is critical situation, beliefs, goals © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 20

Formal Languages u symbols u terminal symbols u u u finite set of basic words not: alphabet, characters non-terminal symbols u intermediate structures composed of terminal or non-terminal symbols u strings u sequences of symbols u phrases u sub-strings grouping important parts of a string © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 21

Formal Languages Cont. u sentences u allowable strings in a language u composed from phrases u grammar u rules describing correct sentences u often captured as rewrite rules in BNF notation u lexicon u list of allowable vocabulary words © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 22

Communication Models u encoded message model ua definite proposition of the speaker is encoded into signs which are transmitted to the listener u the listener tries to decode the signs to retrieve the original proposition u errors are consequences of transmission problems u situated language model u the intended meaning of a message depends on the signals as well as the situation in which they are exchanged u mis-interpretation may lead to additional problems © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 23

Communication Types u telepathic communication u speaker and listener have a shared internal representation u communication through Tell/Ask directives u language-based communication u speaker performs actions that produce signs which other agents can perceive and interpret u communication language is different from the internal representation u more complex involves several mappings v language needs to be generated, encoded, transmitted, decoded, and interpreted v © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 24

Telepathic Communication © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess [Russell & Norvig 1995] Knowledge Exchange 25

Language-Based Communication © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess [Russell & Norvig 1995] Knowledge Exchange 26

Communication Steps: Speaker u intention u decision about producing a speech act u generation u conversion of the information to be transferred into the chosen language u synthesis u actions that produce the generated signs © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 27

Communication Steps: Listener u perception u reception v of the signs produced by the speaker speech recognition, lip reading, character recognition u analysis syntactic interpretation (parsing) v semantic interpretation v u disambiguation v selection of the most probable intended meaning u incorporation v the selected interpretation is added to the existing world model as additional piece of evidence © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess Knowledge Exchange 28

Prototype Interface My Folders A personal space where your uploaded objects as well as links to other objects can be organized. This space will also show the classes and projects you are currently involved in, in the capacity of instructor and/or student. The Buzz / What’s New? This space will include recent additions to the digital library, particularly those related to the visitor’s established areas of interest. The Buzz will specifically display the most accessed objects overall, within my field, etc. This space will also ultimately contain other information, such as live news feeds, both local © 2001 Franz J. Kurfess [UNC Digital Library 2000] and world-wide. Admin, Display, Search ADMIN: Allows the digital library visitor to publish his own material for others to use as well as arrange the contents of his My Folders space. DISPLAY: Allows for different ways of showing off an individual object or group of objects within one’s space. Some common “displays” here would include slideshows and thumbnails. SEARCH: Allows for basic keyword searching at any point in time, as well as access to more extensive search capabilities. Knowledge Exchange 63

Connections Are Missing! u “There is a real conflict between the logician’s goal and the educator’s. The logician wants to minimize the variety of ideas, and doesn’t mind a long thin path. The educator (rightly) wants to make the paths short and doesn’t mind - in fact, prefers - connections to many other ideas. ” [Minsky 1969] u Knowledge turns up piecemeal u Compartmentalized and seldom rejoined u Only truly necessary views/opinions are represented u Only truly necessary connections are represented u As long as the information is there, the system should figure it out u No value to redundancy/alternatives © 2001 Franz J.
