Terminology Extraction Algorithm

A Terminology Extraction Algorithm is an Information Extraction Algorithm that can solve a Terminology Extraction Task.

• AKA: Term Extraction Algorithm.
• Context:
  • It can be applied by a Terminology Extraction System.
  • It can divide the task into:
    • a Candidate Term Identification Task.
    • a Candidate Term Filtering Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Keyphrase Extraction Algorithm.
  • an Ontology Learning from Text Algorithm.
• See: Term Indexing Algorithm.

  • As many terminology extraction systems (Wermter and Hahn, 2005) (Bourigault and Jacquemin, 1999) (Park et al., 2002), in TermExtractor the identification of relevant terms is based on two steps: first, a linguistic processor is used to parse text and extract typical terminological structures, like compounds (enterprise model), adjective-noun (local network) and noun-preposition-noun (board of directors). Then, the (usually large) list of terminological candidates is purged according to various filters.

  • ABSTRACT: This paper describes a new hybrid term extraction technique for technical corpora. Our main goal is to reduce the amount of noise in the list of candidate terms by restricting the lexical items that can appear inside candidate terms. In order to do so, we base our term extraction process on lexical items selected by a statistical test that targets items that are highly specific to the technical corpus being analyzed.
