Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of industrial software, and particularly relates to a semantic model instantiation method, system and apparatus.

RELATED ART

Many industries including social network, e-commerce and manufacture have started to provide knowledge-based intelligent functions and services to clients, and an extensible knowledge database is needed to be taken as a basis. A domain semantic model or mode may be established by a domain expert, however, it is not easy to fill a knowledge database with data according to a semantic model.

For example, filling a semantic model with data instances or data individuals to execute instantiation of the semantic model still mainly depends on manual work. Typically, when a semantic model is instantiated, data instances are manually identified and extracted by engineers in the art. Or data need to be processed in some predefined data formats or intermediate forms, to fill a knowledge database with the data by utilizing a customized program. By adopting these methods, manpower participation degree is high, and as a result, expense is high and a long time is spent. In many industrial fields, original data are of different classes, so it is hard to apply a customized data extracting process to other conditions. Therefore, customers lack tools for automatically extracting data instances from domain files based on a defined domain semantic model.

Two solutions are provided in the prior art. One solution is form analysis and retrieval, and it is targeted to a correlation between customer problems and form contents. When a customer queries a problem, a form analysis and retrieval algorithm will search in data of forms to determine one or more forms capable of potentially answering the above-mentioned problem. Retrieval methods include a character string similarity algorithm BM25, cell data similarity computing and the like. A system may include apparatuses for processes of semantic parsing, form format analysis, form problem similarity comparison, form retrieval and the like. However, such solutions only pay attention to how to match customer inquiry with form contents.

The other solution is ontology matching, and it is targeted to find a correlation between entities of two ontologies including classes, parameters and instances. Ontology matching includes two basic steps: similar point computing and queue extracting. In these steps, two ontologies are compared from the perspective of two languages and structures, with a purpose of transmitting data from one ontology model to the other ontology model. However, such solutions do not deem form as input, some similar methods also tried extracting network form information based on ontology information, however, these solutions are mainly based on a heuristic rule, and it is hard to extend various layouts to any form.

Moreover, existing software tools of the industrial field cannot automatically identify a correlation between any semi-structured file (form) and a domain semantic model to extract relevant data instances.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Specific implementations of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention provides a semantic model instantiation mechanism, and the semantic model instantiation mechanism is capable of extracting data instances based on an abstract model, and utilizes corresponding semi-structured data and a semantic model. According to the present invention, useful data instances are rapidly determined and extracted to a knowledge database by automatically screening and executing domain semi-structured files based on semantic definition with reasonable accuracy, so as to automatically extract data from the semi-structured file based on any semantic model.

As shown in FIG. 1, the semantic model instantiation method provided by the present invention is executed by a semantic model instantiation apparatus 100. The semantic model instantiation apparatus 100 includes a first converting apparatus 110, a second converting apparatus 120, a comparing and identifying apparatus 130, a matching apparatus 140, an extracting apparatus 150 and a database 160. The first converting apparatus 110 parses a semantic model A, and converts the semantic model A into a characteristic vector set. The matching apparatus 140 is configured to match a near-synonym of a word of the semantic vector of the semantic model A. Then, the second converting apparatus 120 inputs a semantic vector and a near-synonym of a word thereof, and imports a semi-structured file B, so as to convert the semi-structured file B into a key word vector based on the semantic vector of the semantic model A. Then, the comparing and identifying apparatus 130 compares a correlation between the semantic vector and the key word vector, and identifies a key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector. Finally, the extracting apparatus 150 extracts instance data of the semi-structured file of the key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector to the database 160.

According to a first aspect, the present invention provides a semantic model instantiation method, including the following steps: Firstly, step S1 is executed. The first converting apparatus 110 receives an ontology-based semantic model A, parses the semantic model A and converts the semantic model A into a characteristic vector set, and the characteristic vectors represent the classes and attributes of an ontology and a relation between the attributes. That is, the first converting apparatus 110 resolves the semantic model A into a concept of classes and subclasses, and describes classes and subclasses with characteristic vectors.

The ontology includes classes, attributes and a relation between the attributes. The classes also include subclasses of the classes. According to the present invention, an ontology base may be established in advance, and the ontology base is constantly updated in a process of executing the present invention. For example, classes of the ontology base include: devices, products, manpower, materials, technologies, maintenance and the like. The above-mentioned classes have interrelation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the ontology includes major product models, the product models include multiple subclasses: maintenance, devices, workshop, technology, products and manpower. Each subclass corresponds to multiple attributes. Specifically, the attributes of manpower include name, telephone number, rank, gender and serial number; the attributes of maintenance include serial number, manpower, month, week, planned time, actual time, working hours and grade; the attributes of a device include parameters, name, service start time, class and power; the attributes of a workshop include name; the attributes of a technology include actual start time, actual ending time, blockage, buffer zone dimension, planned ending time, serial number, planned start time and name; the attributes of a product include order number, picture confirmation, actual transport time, contract, mode of transport, clients, planned transport time, payment, price, structure, production capacity and the like.

Therefore, output of the first converting apparatus 110 is characteristic vectors and a set of relations among multiple vectors, where the characteristic vectors include semantic vectors and characteristic vectors, and the characteristic vectors are specially vectors of the ontology class. Specifically, each vector includes class name, vector name and a relation therebetween. As a result, exemplarily, the format of one of the semantic vectors is: (class name, vector 1, vector 2 . . . vector N, relation 1, relation 2 . . . relation M)

where for example, semantic vectors are “a worker operates a machine C,” “a worker produces products” and “a machine has a fault”, where “operate”, “produce” and “has” are relations therebetween.

Then, step S3 is executed. The second converting apparatus 120 imports a semi-structured file B, and converts the semi-structured file B into a key word vector based on the semantic vector of the semantic model A. Specifically, the second converting apparatus 120 extracts header data from any semi-structured file B and reorganizes these header data according to a certain logic for subsequent processing, where the semi-structured file B is a form file. As shown in FIG. 3, the second converting apparatus 120 includes three sub-apparatuses: a preprocessing apparatus 1201, an identifying apparatus 1202 and a key word apparatus 1203. Step S3 includes three substeps S31, S32 and S33. There is a major file class in many industrial fields, for example, a production field is a semi-structured file, such as a form in a database, a manually constructed Excel form and a network HTML form.

When the semi-structured file is a form file, step S3 also includes the following step: determining a header position of the form file, and identifying a data division of the form file.

In substep S31, the preprocessing apparatus 1201 executes basic conversion and cleaning for an input form file. For example, the preprocessing apparatus 1201 is capable of converting a form file excel into an HTML form, this is because the HTML form includes richer and clearer header data.

Then, in substep S32, the identifying apparatus 1202 reads the form preprocessed by the preprocessing apparatus 1201 to identify the attribute of data content in the form file. Specifically, according to the present invention, four key divisions ULC, RH, CH and Data are defined for any form file, and then these key divisions are determined.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, firstly, four key divisions ULC, RH, CH and Data are defined for form B₁, so as to identify the header and content of the form B₁. Firstly, referring to a form structure B′, B′ is a two-dimensional form. The header division is the RH division, RH shows the title depth of the form row, and the height of RH is h₁. CH shows the title depth of the form column, with width of h₂. ULC exists between RH and CH, ULC shows the upper left space of the whole form, the height of ULC is h₁, and the width of ULC is h₂. The division below RH and on the right of CH is the data divisions Data, where the upper left grid of the data division is C₃, and the lower right grid is C₄. The upper left grid of ULC is C₁, and the lower right grid of ULC is C₂. The question is how to find and define four key divisions ULC, RH, CH and Data. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, firstly, the ULC division is found, and C₁, C₂, h₁ and h₂ of the ULC division are identified. When h₁>0 and h₂>0, a judgement is then made as to whether RH=h₁ and CH=h₂. When the above-mentioned conditions are met, the form B₁ is judged as a two-dimensional form, for which C₃ should be identified according to an extracting rule of a two-dimensional form. Otherwise, it is judged that there is no ULC division, and as a result, it is judged that for this form, C₃ should be identified according to an extracting rule of a one-dimensional form.

Then, when RH=h₁ and CH=h₂ are not met, a judgement is then made as to whether RH<h₁ or CH<h₂, and when RH<h₁ or CH<h₂ is met, a correlation between the semantic vectors and the key word vectors is then computed, C₃ is identified and a potentially embedded one-dimensional form is extracted.

When RH<h₁ or CH<h₂ is not met, a judgement is then made as to whether RH>h₁, and when RH>h₁ is met, only RH and C₃ of the data division are extracted. When RH>h₁ is not met, a judgement is then made as to whether CH>h₂, and when CH>h₂ is met, only CH and C₃ of the data division are extracted.

Therefore, by executing the above-mentioned steps, four key divisions ULC, RH, CH and data may be found out and defined to determine the header division and data division of the form B.

In substep S33, input of the key word apparatus 1203 is a form with a key position, and a form title and attribute are extracted by applying specifications and rules and are stored in a tree structure. The tree structure will be reorganized as weight vectors for subsequent analysis procedures.

For example, the attribute of a one-dimensional form is extracted as a tree structure and converted into the following form key word vectors:

Operating	Serial			Device	Installation	Device	Device
device ledger	number	Class	Importance	attribution	on site	name	number	. . .	Remark
0	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	. . .	1

Further, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the method also includes step S2 between step S1 and step S3: matching a near-synonym of a word of the semantic vector based on the semantic vector of the semantic model. Step S3 also includes the following step: the second converting apparatus 120 converts the semi-structured file into a key word vector based on the semantic vector based on the semantic model and the near synonym thereof.

The second converting apparatus 120 is configured to generate a group of near-synonyms for each word of the semantic vectors. Although existing software can automatically provide near-synonyms, it is difficult for these software tools to provide a reasonable result of a complicated or compound word, especially words formed by more than one sub-word. As a result, the present invention provides the second converting apparatus 120 applicable to complicated words or compound words.

For example, a compound word is firstly divided into multiple sub-words (sub-word #1, sub-word #2 . . . sub-word #n), then a correlation of each sub-word is computed, and finally, the compound word is constructed by utilizing a correlation principle. As a result, the second converting apparatus 120 includes a synonym result list to establish a synonym matrix, and therefore, a key word lexicon is also formed by a key word matrix.

FIG. 6 shows a key word matrix, class name has a first attribute₁, a second attribute₂ . . . an N^th attribute_N. The above-mentioned class name, first attribute₁, second attribute₂ . . . N^th attribute_N all have an initial word, as well as original words and synonyms s₁, s₁ . . . s_M thereof. For example, original words and synonyms thereof are as follows:

Original words Synonyms

Finally, step S4 is executed. The comparing and identifying apparatus 130 compares a correlation of the semantic vectors and the key word vectors, and identifies key word vectors corresponding to the semantic vectors. Specifically, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the key word vector is a form key word vector. As a result, the comparing and identifying apparatus 130 computes a correlation of the form key word vector and the semantic vector. Input of the comparing and identifying apparatus 130 includes key word vectors, semantic vectors and a synonym lexicon. According to the present invention, distinction between the key word vector and the semantic vector is computed by utilizing an algorithm.

Specifically, step S4 also includes the following steps: executing multiple correlation computing methods based on the semantic vector, the synonym lexicon and the key word vector to obtain multiple correlation values to compare a correlation of the semantic vector and the key word vector, weighting the correlation values to construct a correlation matrix and screening out parameter mapping to identify a key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector, where the parameter mapping shows a matched key word vector and semantic vector.

As shown in FIG. 7, multiple correlation computing methods are executed based on the semantic vector, the synonym lexicon and the key word vector. Exemplarily, correlation algorithms include a first correlation algorithm, a second correlation algorithm and a third correlation algorithm. For example, the first correlation algorithm is a cilin correlation algorithm, the second correlation algorithm is a word2vector correlation algorithm, and the third correlation algorithm is a modified jaccard correlation algorithm. The first correlation algorithm, the second correlation algorithm and the third correlation algorithm are executed for the semantic vector, the synonym lexicon and the key word vector to obtain respective correlation values, which are respectively a first correlation value, a second correlation value and a third correlation value. The three correlation values will be synthesized to construct a correlation matrix together by using the following algorithm:

M _ij =Σw _q Sim _q(O_i,K_j)

where M_ij is a correlation, O is a semantic vector, k is a key word vector, w_q is a weight, Sim_q is a correlation algorithm, and i, j, q are natural numbers. A higher weighted value may be given to the correlation between the form title and semantic class name, this is because a name generally expresses more information than each parameter.

FIG. 8 shows a correlation matrix, the x-coordinate is key word vector k, the y-coordinate is semantic vector O. After the correlation matrix is obtained, parameter mapping is screened, a threshold rule is applied to determine matched key word pairs, and the output is parameter mapping, that is, a marked binary vector, representing a matching result of the form parameter. The parameter mapping shows a matched key word vector and semantic vector, Similarity Couple Determination algorithm is executed for screening parameter mapping. “1” represents matched parameters, “0” represents unmatched parameters.

Finally, the method also includes the following step after step S4: the extracting apparatus 150 extracts instance data of the semi-structured file of the key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector to the database 160. The extracting apparatus 150 extracts form data based on output of the comparing and identifying apparatus 130. In an implementation, only matched data may be extracted from the semantic model. In another implementation, data matched with and not matched with form parameters are extracted and stored, however, these data are marked with different correlation ranks. Extraction of unmatched form parameters is for the purpose of potential future analysis and utilization. Data correlation is also identified and extracted.

Further, the following action is included between action S1 and action S3: S2, matching a near-synonym of a word of the semantic vector based on the semantic vector of the semantic model. Action S3 also includes: converting the semi-structured file into a key word vector based on the semantic vector based on the semantic model and the near-synonym thereof.

Further, the following action is included after action S4: extracting instance data of the semi-structured file of the key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector to a database.

Further, the ontology includes classes, attributes and a relation between the attributes.

Further, action S3 also includes the following action when the semi-structured file is a form file: determining a header position of the form file, and identifying a data division of the form file. Further, action S4 also includes: executing multiple correlation computing methods based on the semantic vector, a synonym lexicon and the key word vector to obtain multiple correlation values to compare a correlation of the semantic vector and the key word vector, weighting the correlation values to construct a correlation matrix and screening out parameter mapping to identify a key word vector corresponding to the semantic vector, where the parameter mapping shows a matched key word vector and semantic vector. Further, the correlation matrix is constructed according to the following algorithm:
