| Nov 16, 2014 at 3:16 | comment | added | GuSuku | You might find these interesting: Look for three papers (1998, 2000, 2001) by Kocabas, S., & Langley, P. at Langley's Computational Scientific Discovery | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 18:56 | comment | added | eshaya | nltk discourse processing looks interesting as well. | |
| Sep 17, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | GuSuku | Auto-mining is a great idea. Coming to think of it, even Yago and v5 of ConceptNet use automated Ontology learners like ReVerb to populate their general knowledge base. We can perhaps do a small proof-of-concept demo (for a narrow field, like you suggested) and use it to gather a bigger team and seek initial funding! | |
| Sep 16, 2014 at 18:53 | comment | added | eshaya | I don't think crowd-sourcing would work well because only physicists have the subject knowledge required and there are just are not enough of them. However, I think automated readers could be used. There are programs out there that read newspapers and gather intelligence info for the military. A specialized one for physics could perhaps be taught to read physics articles and quickly create an immense database of physics knowledge. Perhaps crowd-funding would work for this if we aligned with say a small branch of physics (like cosmology) and the appropriate semantics engineers. | |
| Sep 15, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | GuSuku | Also, do you happen to know other projects that have built (or building) ontology in physics? As for funding, we could explore putting together a credible and subjectwise well-represented consortium of members from the physics community, and seek crowd-funding from public (through KickStarter, Experiment/Microryza etc). The funding might be enough to cover hardware costs and, if media picks it up, it can catch the attention of potential volunteers (students, postdocs etc) from the community. | |
| Sep 15, 2014 at 19:30 | comment | added | GuSuku | Thank you for answering my request and sharing your thoughts here! Could you also perhaps share your thoughts on (1) Crowd-sourcing such an initiative among the physics community (like Freebase or OMCS/ConceptNet did for general knowledge ontology) (2) Incorporating semantics of mathematical knowledge in the ontology (cf my Sep 9 comment to Ben, starting "Also, take a look at Content-MathML and OpenMath options..."). | |
