Summary
We developed SSCO, a self-supervised Chinese ontology learning system. This approach efficiently extracts ontological knowledge from online encyclopedias, significantly improving precision and coverage.
Area of Science:
- Natural Language Processing
- Knowledge Representation
- Machine Learning
Background:
- Manual ontology construction is labor-intensive and prone to errors.
- Existing methods struggle with the scale and complexity of Chinese language data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an automated method for constructing a large-scale Chinese ontology.
- To leverage self-supervised learning for efficient ontology extraction from online encyclopedias.
Main Methods:
- Explored knowledge extraction from Chinese encyclopedias (titles, categories, infoboxes).
- Applied self-supervised machine learning (SVMs, CRFs) for relation extraction (synonymy, hyponymy, instance relations).
- Utilized structural information and heuristic rules for automatic training data generation.
Main Results:
- Constructed SSCO with ~255K concepts, 5M entities, and 40M facts.
- Demonstrated the efficacy of self-supervised learning for Chinese relation extraction.
- Achieved excellent precision and high coverage compared to existing resources.
Conclusions:
- Self-supervised learning is a viable and effective approach for large-scale Chinese ontology construction.
- SSCO offers a valuable resource for NLP and knowledge representation tasks.
- Automated methods significantly enhance ontology scale and precision.

Observational Learning
1.5K
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Introduction to Learning
1.6K
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

Cognitive Learning
1.6K
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Classification of Systems-I

Linearity is a system property characterized by a direct input-output relationship, combining homogeneity and additivity.
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

Associative Learning
2.1K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
