In plain words: A neural network scans every stretch of words in a sentence and decides whether it names a domain concept, finding terms hidden inside longer ones. Unlike extractors that need hand-picked features and skip nested terms, it reaches high recall and similar precision from raw text.

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a deep learning-based end-to-end method on the domain specified automatic term extraction (ATE), it considers possible term spans within a fixed length in the sentence and predicts them whether they can be conceptual terms. In comparison with current ATE methods, the model supports nested term extraction and does not crucially need extra (extracted) features. Results show that it can achieve high recall and a comparable precision on term extraction task with inputting segmented raw text.
