Taxonomy is an important component in knowledge bases, and it is an urgent, meaningful but challenging task for Chinese taxonomy construction. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy induction approach from a Chinese encyclopedia by using combinatorial optimizations. At first, subclass-of relations are derived by validating the relation between two categories. Then, integer programming optimizations are applied to find out instance-of relations from encyclopedia articles by considering the constrains among categories. The experimental results show that our approach can construct a practicable taxonomy from Chinese encyclopedias.
