Abstract

Concept hierarchy is an integral part of ontology which is the backbone of the Semantic Web. This paper describes a new hierarchical clustering algorithm for learning concept hierarchy named Clonal Selection Algorithm for Learning Concept Hierarchy, or CLONACH. The proposed algorithm resembles the CLONALG. CLONACH's effectiveness is evaluated on three data sets. The results show that the concept hierarchy produced by CLONACH is better than the agglomerative clustering technique in terms of taxonomic overlaps. Thus, the CLONALG based algorithm has been regarded as a promising technique in learning from texts, in particular small collection of texts.
