Research Task Title

WiseKB : Developing self-learning knowledge-base and reasoning technology based on big data understanding

Research Overview

Development of an autonomous learning-type knowledge base and hybrid reasoning technology through big data understanding and implementation of the evolutionary knowledge augmented service platform which allows knowledge-augmented global service

The technical characteristics of the WiseKB platform are as follows :
  • Knowledge learning for expert knowledge and knowledge augmentation based on complex reasonin
  • Semantic analysis based on language processing technology and semantic reasoning technology
  • Management of the knowledge augmentation life cycle on the basis of dual spiral methodology
  • Semantic integration and validation of expert knowledge through automatic transformation of expert knowledge and knowledge curation
  • Expansion of common-sense knowledge through crowdsourcing
Inclusion of a system for semantically integrating and managing internal and external knowledge resources including formal and⋅informal big data collected from the website, sensor data collected from the terminal and the network, and core knowledge secured by the proposing organization, with legacy data in each application domain
WiseKB implements an autonomous collaboration architecture based on a large-scale dispersed and parallel treatment infrastructure and includes engines that allow multi-modal knowledge expression, collection/management of large-scale multiple domain expert knowledge, integration/management of knowledge resources, large-volume hybrid reasoning, and autonomous knowledge learning from large-scale expert knowledge.
The WiseKB platform product includes the knowledge base and reasoning functions developed in detailed task 2 and is directly connected to WiseQA in detailed task 1 to allow expert-level deep question answering through natural language understanding.
Ultimately, the WiseKB platform product promote innovation in the knowledge industry throughout the nation by fostering promotion of a creative economy based on the knowledge industry, optimizing national competition strategies, creating knowledge industry-related jobs, etc., and helps to ensure future national competitiveness.
In Step 2, knowledge resources and big data in expert fields such as finance, patents, etc. are to be collected, the multiple domain expert knowledge augmentation service platform is to be implemented by expanding the knowledge base through autonomous learning and validation and improvement of the reasoning system, and the base for expanding the multi-language service is to be provided by collecting and integrating English knowledge resources and constructing the appropriate knowledge base.
