• Background
• Framework architecture
• Current results
• Ongoing research
• Conclusions
Planetary Defense (PD)
• Near Earth object (NEO) observation
• Design reference asteroids
• Impact modelling
• Decision support
• Mitigation action
• In this U.S., the NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office
(PDCO) was established in 2016 to study the mitigation of
potential Near-Earth Object (NEO) impacts to our home
planet.

Motivation for an
Information Framework
• Information about detecting, characterizing and mitigating NEO threats is
dispersed (e.g. publications, briefings.)
• An overall architecture to facilitate the collaborations and integrate the different
capabilities to achieve the most sensible, executable options for mitigation
• A cyberinfrastructure to capture mitigation trades, analyses, model output, risk
projections, and mitigation mission design concepts
• Discovery and easy access to knowledge and expert opinion within the project
team, as well as factoring in related information from other research and
analysis activities
Why Another Resource
Discovery Engine?
• Domain-specific vs. general-purpose
• Indexed content
– Google searches from nearly the entire Internet
– The framework is PD-specific
• Knowledge base
– Google’s Knowledge Graph is based on generic sources such as Wikipedia
– The framework will create a PD ontology aided by domain experts, combined with
machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) results
• Decision makers can have easy access to required information and quality
knowledge

Framework Gateway
• Web Portal: http://pd.cloud.gmu.edu/
• User management, document archiving, vocabulary editing
web crawling, search engine
User management
• User roles: Administer, authenticated user, anonymous
user
• Manage access control with permissions and user roles
• Assign permissions and roles to users
• Ban an IP address - The Ban module allows administrators
to ban visits to their site from individual or a range of IP
addresses.
FileDepot Module:
File/document Management
• Create folders or upload new files
• More actions:
• Set permissions of specific folder for different user roles
• Text mining will be preformed to find the relations between docs (&keywords)
Vocabulary editing module
• 130+ concepts
• Create and edit landing
page for each concept
• Different user roles have
different permissions
Web crawling module
• Nutch: Open Source web
crawler
• Store them in Elasticsearch
(full-text search engine)
• 5 seed URLs
• Similarity between page vs.
vocab list
• Baseline
Ongoing research
• Domain specific crawling
• Knowledge extraction from
plain text
Domain specific crawling
Simplest approach: filter web pages using a keyword list (e.g.
NEO, asteroid, Bennu, …) composed by domain experts.
Problems:
• Expensive
• Difficult to exhaust
• Difficult to assign weights to different
keywords
• Treat all web pages equally (a page on NASA website and
a random one)
Distribution of
relevant pages
in blue

Domain specific crawling
Existing tools in Open Source crawler (e.g. Nutch):
• Link-based
– Scoring links (OPIC, PageRank scoring)
– Breadth first or Depth first crawl
• Content-based
– URL, mimetype filter
– Cosine Similarity scoring filter (what we are using)
– Naive Bayes parse filter

Update
• Combine content and
link-based scoring to
boost the authoritative
and relevant web pages
• Dynamically update/grow
the vocab using info (e.g.
title) from the web pages
• Weight keywords based
on frequency clustering
(i.e. more frequently seen
terms have more weights)
Proposed method
Engage the community to help with the evaluation
Knowledge extraction from
plain text
• Goal: Extract structured information from unstructured web
pages and user uploaded documents
• Relation extraction in NLP: finding semantic triples (SPO)
from sentences
• Pattern-based, supervised, semi-supervised, and open
information extraction
The UV Index is a measure of the intensity of UV rays from the Sun.

Object
Relation extraction
Hand-written patterns
• “Y such as X”
• “such Y as X”
• “X or other Y”
• “Y including X”
• + Tend to be high-precision
• + Tailored to specific domains
• - Human patterns are often low-
recall
• - Hard to be exhaustive
Open Information Extraction
• Recently published by Univ. of Washington
• Extract relations from the sentences with no training data, no list of
relations (unsupervised)
• Self-learning process, syntactic and lexical/semantic patterns
Gabor Angeli, Melvin Johnson Premkumar, and Christopher D. Manning. Leveraging Linguistic Structure For Open Domain Information Extraction. In
Proceedings of the Association of Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2015.
Open Information Extraction
• Some are reasonable, some are noise
• Working on reducing noise/identifying reasonable results
Conclusion and Next Steps
• The proposed architecture framework benefits the PD community by
– Providing discovery and easy access to the knowledge and expert opinion
within the project team
– Maximizing the linkage between different organizations, scientists, engineers,
decision makers, and citizens
• Next steps
– Develop a knowledge base & search ranking for NEO mitigation resources
– Investigate a knowledge reasoning model for potential mitigation by
assimilating existing scenarios
– Build a 4D visualization tool based on new datasets and existing tools

Editor's Notes

  • #6: Although the number of existing PD pages is considerable, they are still a very small portion compared to the information volume on the Web. The search results will be flooded and hidden in a long list of search results
  • #7: This is the NEO mitigation structure, which has multiple organizations and progresses in 3 steps. Namely, 1, 2, 3
  • #8: The organization framework can be expanded into a PD architecture framework, which lays out the roles of different organizations. Big data is the key here and also what we are trying to address in the research
  • #9: This is the information workflow. It lays out how the data is transferred from one component to another….
  • #10: To address that challenge of dispersed information, we propose a knowledge discovery framework……
  • #11: As a starting point
  • #13: The difference is that. This is just a starting point,
  • #15: NASA NEO website, Europe Space Agency just a beginning, …
  • #16: Two ongoing research is being carried out
  • #20: Triple is the atomic data entity in semantics
  • #22: The technique we are focusing on Use parsed data to train a “trustworthy tuple” classifier Single-pass extract all relations between NPs, keep if trustworthy Assessor ranks relations based on text redundancy
