Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automated ontology refinement based on query inputs and provided feedback. A query input is received for an ontology. Features of the query input are analyzed, wherein analyzation includes determining syntactical and semantic characteristics of the features of the query input. Based on the determined syntactical and semantic characteristics, ontological elements are classified for each feature of the query input. The ontological element for each feature of the query input is then compared to a set of ontological elements of the ontology. Based on the comparison, a response to the query input is received, along with a request for feedback regarding the response. Feedback is then received regarding the response. Based on the feedback, the ontology is analyzed to determine at least one deficiency of the ontology. The ontology is then refined to correct the at least one deficiency.
