Unsupervised Term Extraction for Highly Technical Domains (2022.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Term extraction is an important task for knowledge discovery platforms because domain specific terms are the linguistic representation of domainspecific concepts. |
| Approach: | They propose a term extraction subsystem that uses an unsupervised annotator to generate training data to fine-tune transformer models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can generalize across domains while reducing latency and inference time while preserving the high performance of the existing system. |
