However, existing taxonomies like ConceptNet (Liu and Singh, 2004) or Wiki Taxonomy (Ponzetto and Strube, 2007) cannot be directly applied to course concepts because course concepts are mostly academic terms and the non-academic categories greatly interfere with the quality of taxonomy.
we select a crosslingual term taxonomy from CNCTST 4 as a basis and lead manual annotation to build a serviceable course concept taxonomy for MOOCCube.
