TL;DR
This work describes here a procedure to automatically extend an ontology with domainspecific knowledge that is completely unsupervised, so it can be applied to different languages and domains.
Abstract
Knowledge Acquisition is still the bottleneck in building many kinds of applications, such as inference engines. We describe here a procedure to automatically extend an ontology with domain-specific knowledge. The main advantage of our approach is that it is completely unsupervised, so it can be applied to different languages and domains. Our initial results have been highly successful and we believe that with some improvement in accuracy it can be applied to large ontologies.

A program that disambiguates English word senses in unrestricted text using statistical models of the major Roget's Thesaurus categories, enabling training on unrestricted monolingual text without human intervention.
Discovering conceptual relations from text
326 Citations2000Alexander Maedche, Steffen Staab
A new approach to discover non-taxonomic conceptual relations from text building on shallow text processing techniques is described, using a generalized association rule algorithm that does not only detect relations between concepts, but also determines the appropriate level of abstraction at which to define relations.

The overall goal is to overcome two shortcomings of WordNet: the lack of topical links among concepts, and the proliferation of senses, which are improved when the hierarchical clusters are used.
