Graphing the knowledge graph: distance between concepts
The three concept words chosen here are: a) Hubble Deep Field b) House of Lords and c) Ichthyosaur

Note 3 distinct regions in the graph corresponding to the three words. If the given words were unknown to us at the start, by making such connections, we get to know closely related words and thus can understand the usage contexts of the unknown word

Here we have taken the wikipedia links data.

The steps in constructing the graph are as follows:

  • We choose one word to start from the word space
  • We choose all the words that link from the wikipedia page of this word (back into wikipedia). Let us call this the concept space.
  • We choose the subset of these links that link back into our concept space. This is reinforcement that the word belongs to the concept space.
  • We repeat for any number of words we like.
  • Note that the hubs linking between regions may act as bridges
