Abstract

The huge amount of information available on the Web can help in building domain knowledge of a Web-based tutoring system. Therefore, we are in need of a way to classify this information at a suitable place. To overcome this challenge, we develop a dominant meanings classification model. This model constructs domain knowledge as a hierarchy of concepts. Each concept consists of some dominant meanings, and each of those is linked with some chunks (information fragments) to define it. The dominant meanings are a set of keywords that best fit an indented meaning of a target word (concept). The more dominant meanings, the better a concept relates to its chunk context. We investigated the effect of using this model to extract features on classifying Web information. We compared the model's results with Naïve Bayes classifiers. Our experiment showed that using this approach greatly improves the classification task.
