To reduce this effort\u0000 and improve term candidate selection, we implemented the Token Slot Recognition\u0000 method, a filtering method based on terminological tokens which is used to rank\u0000 extracted term candidates from domain-specific corpora. This paper presents the\u0000 implementation of the term candidates filtering method we developed in\u0000 linguistic and statistical approaches applied for automatic term extraction\u0000 using several domain-specific corpora in different languages. We observed that\u0000 the filtering method outperforms term candidate selection by ranking a higher\u0000 number of terms at the top of the term candidate list than raw frequency, and\u0000 for statistical term extraction the improvement is between 15% and 25% both in\u0000 precision and recall. Our analyses further revealed a reduction in the number of\u0000 term candidates to be validated manually by specialists. In conclusion, the\u0000 number of term candidates extracted automatically from domain-specific corpora\u0000 has been reduced significantly using the Token Slot Recognition filtering\u0000 method, so term candidates can be easily and quickly validated by\u0000 specialists.","PeriodicalId":162784,"journal":{"name":"Computational terminology and filtering of terminological information","volume":"264 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127544156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
