Abstract

In this paper, we present a new model that incorporates the extensive knowledge derived from Wikipedia for cross-document knowledge discovery. The model proposed here is based on our previously introduced Concept Chain Queries (CCQ) which is a special case of text mining focusing on detecting semantic relationships between two concepts across multiple documents. We attempt to overcome the limitations of CCQ by building a semantic kernel for concept closeness computing to complement existing knowledge in text corpus. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that the kernel-based approach outperforms in ranking important chains retrieved in the search results.
