Ontology-Based Natural Language Parser for E-Marketplaces

  • Conference paper
Innovations in Applied Artificial Intelligence (IEA/AIE 2005)

Abstract

We propose an approach to Natural Language Processing exploiting knowledge domain in an e-commerce scenario. Based on such modeling an NLP parser is presented, aimed at translating demand/supply advertisements into structured Description Logic expressions, automatically mapping sentences with concept expressions related to a reference ontology.
