We have been doing something similar in the AKT project, using Bayesian
classifiers to categorise unannotated that appear in our KB against the
ACM computer science taxonomy: http://www.aktors.org/technologies/ClassAKT/

Running the training algorithm takes quite a while, but the results are
pretty good.
