A Heuristics Strategy for Extracting Terms from Scientific Texts

P. 285–295.

The paper describes a strategy that applies heuristics to combine sets of terminological words and words combination pre-extracted from a scientific text by several term recognition procedures. Each procedure is based on a collection of lexico-syntactic patterns representing specific linguistic information about terms within scientific texts. Our strategy is aimed to improve the quality of automatic term extraction from a particular scientific text. The experiments have shown that the strategy gives 11-17% increase of F-measure compared with the commonly-used methods of term extraction.

Language: English

Keywords: automatic term extraction text variants of terms multiword terms lexico-syntactic patterns
