Specific Domain Ontology Construction Using Large Language Models
Short summary
Researchers used GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to automatically construct domain ontologies for Brazil's maritime territory, finding coherent but incomplete conceptualizations requiring human refinement. The work demonstrates LLMs can bootstrap domain knowledge structures where reference ontologies don't exist. Results show promise but confirm human expert validation is essential for production use.
- •GPT-3.5/4 successfully generated coherent domain ontologies for a specialized maritime domain
- •All 20 outputs required human expert refinement before being satisfactory
- •Useful technique for domains lacking reference ontologies but demands quality assurance
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
