Meaning-based machine learning for information assurance

- Describes the combination of semantic knowledge bases with machine learning.
- Natural language processing application for phishing detection.
- Semantic machine learning improves on existing approaches.

This paper presents meaning-based machine learning, the use of semantically meaningful input data into machine learning systems in order to produce output that is meaningful to a human user where the semantic input comes from the Ontological Semantics Technology theory of natural language processing. How to bridge from knowledge-based natural language processing architectures to traditional machine learning systems is described to include high-level descriptions of the steps taken. These meaning-based machine learning systems are then applied to problems in information assurance and security that remain unsolved and feature large amounts of natural language text.
