Abstrakt: Ontology learning tools help us build ontologies cheaper by applying sophisticated linguistic and statistical techniques on domain text. For ontologies used in search applications class concepts and hierarchical relationships at the appropriate level of detail are vital to the quality of retrieval. In this paper, we discuss an unsupervised keyphrase extraction system for ontology learning and evaluate its resulting ontology as part of an ontology-driven search application. Our analysis shows that even though the ontology is slightly inferior to manually constructed ontologies, the quality of search is only marginally affected when using the learned ontology. Keyphrase extraction may not be sufficient for ontology learning in general, but is surprisingly effective for ontologies specifically designed for search. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
