The first never-ending learning system reported in literature is named NELL (Never-Ending Language Learning). NELL has built a Knowledge Base (KB) containing many types of knowledge. In this paper, we propose to learn Bayesian networks from the knowledge stored in the NELL’s KB aiming to assist in the development of expert systems in the future. In addition, Bayesian networks have shown to be promising to solve the problem of representing semantic relations and extending the NELL’s initial ontology. In the initial experiments, we have built a dataset on the domain of diseases from relations existing in NELL and applied two learning algorithms of Bayesian networks named K2 and DMBC. The empirical results have shown that this proposal is promising.</p>}, number={8}, journal={IEEE Latin America Transactions}, author={Avelar de Carvalho, Rogers R. and Batista dos Santos, Edimilson}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={2046–2053} }
