Abstract:

In the field of civil aviation radiotelephony communication, there are problems such as difficult access to the corpus, uneven distribution of entities, and insufficient entity specification and accuracy in intention information extraction. In order to better extract the intent information of radiotelephony communication, this paper proposes a ontology fused bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) based and generative adversarial network (GAN) approach to mining intention information of radiotelephony communication. The extracted information is then partially checked and corrected by introducing the flight pool information to form structured information that can be understood by the air traffic control (ATC) system. Firstly, the improved GAN model for intelligent text generation of radiotelephony communication is used, which can effectively perform data augmentation, balance the information distribution of various entities and expand the dataset. Then, the classification and annotation of intentions are performed according to the ontology rules defined by the European Single Sky Air Traffic Management project. After that, word vectors are generated by the BERT pre-training model and solve the problem of multiple meanings of words. Simutaneously, the bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network is used to extract contextual semantic features by bidirectional encoding. Those features are also fed into the conditional random field (CRF) model for inference prediction, learning the dependencies of the labels and constraining them to obtain the global optimal results. Finally, the intention information is verified and checked according to the edit distance (ED) algorithm. The comparative experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a Macro-F1 value of 98.75% and outperforms other mainstream models in intention mining on civil aviation radiotelephony communication datasets, laying the foundation for its inclusion in the digitization process.
