Abstract

Digital preservation technologies are now being increasingly adopted by cultural heritage organizations. This cultural heritage data is often disseminated in the form of digital text through a variety of channels such as Wikipedia, cultural heritage archives, etc. To acquire knowledge from digital data, the extraction technique becomes an important part. However, in the case of digital text, which has characteristics such as ambiguity, complex grammar structures such as the Thai language, and others, it makes it more challenging to extract information with a high level of accuracy. We thus propose a method for improving the performance of data extraction techniques based on word features, multiple instance learning, and unseen word mapping. Word features are used to improve the quality of word definition by concatenating parts of speech (POS) and word position is used to establish the accurate definition of a word and convert all of this into a vector. In addition, we use multiple instance learning to solve issues where words do not fully express the meaning of the triple. We also cluster the particular word to find the predicate word by removing words that are irrelevant between the subject and the object. The difficulty of having a new set of words that have never been trained before can be overcome by using unseen word mapping with sub-word and nearest neighbor word mapping. We conducted several experiments on a cultural heritage knowledge graph to show the efficacy of the proposed method. The results demonstrated that our proposed technique outperforms existing models currently utilized in relation to extraction systems. It can achieve excellent accuracy since its precision, recall, and F1 score are 0.89, 0.88, and 0.89, respectively. Furthermore, it also performed well in terms of unseen word prediction, precision, recall, and F1 score, which were 0.81, 0.87, and 0.84, respectively.
