[Corpora-List] TERM EXTRACTION TOOLS

[Diana Maynard]

Hi Lebron
There's been a lot of work on evaluating different term extraction methods and
tools in the past few years. Google should come up with a whole bunch of
references for you. However, a lot of the tools are designed for very
particular domains/applications, so evaluation can be tricky.

The C/NC Value method (Frantzi and Ananiadou 99) is worth including in your
evaluation as a good baseline. You'll probably have to implement the algorithm
yourself though, unless you can get hold of one from somewhere (many people
have used it in such evaluations, so it might be worth hunting around).
Actually if anyone already has a Java implementation of it they'd be happy to
share, I'd be interested to know.

method for multi-word term extraction. Journal of Natural Language Processing,
6(3) pp. 145-180
