Knowledge Resource Development for Identifying Matching Image Descriptions

Abstract

Background knowledge resources contribute to the performance of many current systems for textual inference tasks (QA, textual entailment, summarization, retrieval, and others). However, it can be difficult to assess how additions to such a knowledge base will impact a system that relies on it. This paper describes the incremental, task-driven development of an ontology that provides features to a system that retrieves images based on their textual descriptions. We perform error analysis on a baseline system that uses lexical features only, then focus ontology development on reducing these errors against a development set. The resulting ontology contributes more to performance than domain-general resources like WordNet, even on a test set of previously unseen examples.
