Automated Categorization of Terms in the Defense Technology Information Center's Field and Group Taxonomy
In 2016 the Defense Technical Information Center required 1,400 new thesaurus terms to be categorized against its 272 Field & Group categories. A WordNet-based run performed 380,800 semantic comparisons in about 4.3 hours of machine time, replacing an estimated one to two man-years of manual review with a ranked shortlist for human confirmation.
