US Patent 9501569 Automatic taxonomy construction from keywords

A system, method or computer readable storage device to derive a taxonomy from keywords is described herein. A domain-dependent taxonomy from a set of keywords may be automatically derived by leveraging both a general knowledgebase and keyword search. For example, concepts may be deduced with the technique of conceptualization, and context information may be extracted from a search engine. Then, the taxonomy may be constructed using a tree algorithm.
