Intelligent ontology update tool

A computer storage device including program instructions for execution by a computing device to perform:

• loading reference data comprising prior mapped ontology;
• receiving, parsing, and tokenizing text data;
• generating a set of recognized and a set of unrecognized terms by matching said text data to said ontology;
• classifying each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms by identifying concept features and generating an associated concept matching score;
• classifying each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms by identifying lexical features and generating an associated lexical score;
• generating for each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms a total concept mapping score by summing said concept matching score and said lexical score;
• mapping each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms to a concept that results in the highest total concept mapping score;
• updating the ontology based on said concept mapping.

A system comprising a processor, the processor configured to execute computer program instructions to:

• load reference data comprising prior mapped ontology;
• receive, parse, and tokenize text data;
• generate a set of recognized and a set of unrecognized terms by matching said text data to said ontology;
• classify each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms by identifying concept features and generating an associated concept matching score;
• classify each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms by identifying lexical features and generating an associated lexical score;
• generate for each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms a total concept mapping score by summing said concept matching score and said lexical score;
• map each unrecognized term of said set of unrecognized terms to a concept that results in the highest total concept mapping score;
• update the ontology based on said concept mapping.
