TSMiner: from TSBuilder to Ecosystem

Abstract

The paper reviews a project on the automation of term system construction. TSBuilder (Term System Builder) was developed in 2014 for supervised machine learning, namely 1-3 word terms identification in natural language texts and their categorization. TSGraph (Term System Graph) was developed in 2019 for visualization of terminologies’ overlappings.TSMiner is the integration of existing projects into an ecosystem allowing to move smoothly from search to storage and visualization of terminologies.We added the use of synonymic matching for single- and multiple-word terms at the morphemic level, which is beyond the scope of a traditional linguistic analysis. This allows us to replenish the database with new words close in meaning to the existing ones but having dropped out of our radar for not being cognit to the ones included into the database. Algorithms for translating natural language words into a vector form were used to estimate the degree of synonymy.
