Abstract

Large-scale knowledge acquisition from texts is one of the challenges of the information society that can only be mastered by technical means. While the syntactic analysis of isolated sentences is relatively well understood, the problem of automatically parsing on all linguistic levels, starting from the morphological level through to the semantic level, i.e. real understanding of texts, is far from being solved. This paper explains the approach taken in this direction by the MultiNet technology in bridging the gap between the syntactic semantic analysis of single sentences and the creation of knowledge bases representing the content of whole texts. In particular, it is shown how linguistic text phenomena like inclusion or bridging references can be dealt with by logical means using the axiomatic apparatus of the MultiNet formalism. The NLP techniques described are practically applied in transforming large textual corpora like Wikipedia into a knowledge base and using the latter in meaning-oriented search engines.
