Phd Position In Ontology Enrichment Using Intelligent Document Processing (1.0 Fte)

(1.0 FTE)

(1.0 FTE)

Job description

Modern methodologies for knowledge extraction often produce taxonomies, vocabularies and ontologies that are incomplete, erroneous and lack in granularity, domain specificity and focus. In many domains, the knowledge extraction process can be enhanced, and its results improved through automated processing of typical documents that accumulate domain semantics in their structural, sequential and formatting patterns. In this 4-year PhD project, you will seek to develop a conceptual framework and a general approach towards utilisation of this thin layer of semantic information for the sake of extracting formal domain knowledge. The approach will be applied in the domain of law enforcement and cybercrime.
