Ontology for Indian Music: An Approach for ontology learning from online music forums

Presentation by Joe Cheri Ross at the 3rd CompMusic Workshop on 13th Dec 2013, IIT Madras, Chennai, India

Abstract: To enable better information retrieval for music along with representation content based information, music meta data in textual form are also to be a part of music ontology. This work focussing on information extraction from online sources(rasikas.org,wikipedia) has two primary modules: one to extract the relevant information, such as entities, their properties and relationships from each of the aforementioned sources, and another module to map and interlink such information using our ontologies which will result in a multimodal knowledge-base. Natural language processing (NLP) based approach is adopted for information extraction, analysing syntactic patterns present in the content. Entities are identified performing fuzzy matching with the existing knowledge base and relations are extracted through a rule based approach.
