Abstract(in English) Automating ontology generation from raw text corpus is required to meet the ontology demand. As an initial attempt of ontology generation with a neural network, a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based method is proposed. However, updating the architecture is possible because of the development in natural language processing (NLP). In contrast, the transfer learning of language models trained by a large unlabeled corpus such as bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) has yielded a breakthrough in NLP. Inspired by these achievements, to apply transfer learning of language models, we propose a novel workflow for ontology generation consisting of two-stage learning. This paper provides a quantitative comparison between the proposed method and the existing methods. Our result showed that our best method improved accuracy by over 12.5%. To show an application example, we applied our model to Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) dataset to show ontology generation in a real field. The result shows our model can generate good ontology with some exceptions that requests future research for improving the ontology quality.
