Technical Definition

Automatically identifying relevant single or multi-word terms from a corpus of text.

How it works

Term extraction focuses on finding key phrases or concepts that are specific to a domain or document collection, distinguishing them from common words. It is crucial for building glossaries, taxonomies, and ontologies, as well as for improving domain-specific search and text analytics. This process often involves statistical and linguistic methods to identify significant terms.
