Generating and Evaluating Domain-Oriented Multi-Word Terms from Texts.
Damerau, Fred J.
Information Processing and Management, v29 n4 p433-47 Jul-Aug 1993
Examines the use of various statistical techniques for generating domain-oriented multiword vocabulary terms for natural language database systems. Conclusions show the vocabulary clustering effect should be considered when making significance calculations and that a simple ratio of subject matter relative frequency to total sample relative frequency is adequate. (Contains 17 references.) (EAM)
