A Supervised KeyPhrase Extraction System

Abstract

In this paper, we present a multi-featured supervised automatic keyword extraction system. We extracted salient semantic features which are descriptive of candidate keyphrases, a Random Forest classifier was used for training. The system achieved an accuracy of 58.3 % precision and has shown to outperform two top performing systems when benchmarked on a crowdsourced dataset. Furthermore, our approach achieved a personal best Precision and F-measure score of 32.7 and 25.5 respectively on the Semeval Keyphrase extraction challenge dataset. The paper describes the approaches used as well as the result obtained.
