Study and Implementation of Combined Techniques for Automatic Extraction of Terminology

Abstract

This paper presents an original method and its implementation to extract terminology from corpora by combining linguistic filters and statistical methods.Starting from a linguistic study of the terms of telecommunication domain, we designed a number of filters which enable us to obtain a first selection of sequences that may be considered as terms.Various statistical scores are applied to this selection and results are evaluated.This method has been applied to French and to English, but this paper deals only with French.
