Abstract

Given a domain-specific set of concept labels as input, global taxonomy construction (GTC) is defined as the problem of automatically inducing a taxonomy over the concept labels. Despite its importance in domains such as e-commerce and healthcare, and recent algorithmic research as a result, practical tools for inducing and interactively visualizing taxonomies over domain-specific concept sets do not currently exist. To be truly useful, such a tool must permit a reasonable solution in a relatively unsupervised setting, and be applicable to general subsets of concept labels. In this paper, we present InVInT (Interactive Visualization and Induction of Taxonomies), an unsupervised and lightweight global taxonomy induction system for arbitrary concept-labels. We demonstrate the utility of InVInt on e-commerce concept labels taken from challenging real-world datasets. The system is end-to-end, only taking a simple text …
