Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction by Jointly Modeling Local and Global Context (2021.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Embedding based methods are widely used for unsupervised keyphrase extraction tasks.
Approach: They propose a method where local and global contexts are jointly modeled.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms most models while generalizing better on input documents with different domains and length.
Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction via Interpretable Neural Networks (2023.findings-eacl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Prior approaches for unsupervised keyphrase extraction relied on heuristic notions of phrase importance via embedding clustering or graph centrality.
Approach: They propose an approach which defines keyphrases as document phrases that are salient for predicting the topic of the document.
Outcome: The proposed method alleviates the need for ad-hoc heuristics and achieves state-of-the-art results in scientific publications and news articles.
AttentionRank: Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction using Self and Cross Attentions (2021.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Keyword or keyphrase extraction is to identify words or phrases presenting the main topics of a document.
Approach: They propose a hybrid attention model to identify keyphrases from a document in an unsupervised manner.
Outcome: The proposed model is effective and robust on long and short documents.
PromptRank: Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction Using Prompt (2023.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing keyphrase extraction methods struggle with document and candidate length discrepancies or fail to fully utilize the pre-trained language model without further fine-tuning.
Approach: They propose an unsupervised keyphrase extraction approach that uses a pre-trained language model to rank candidates based on document embeddings.
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms the existing keyphrase extraction approach on six benchmarks.
SAMRank: Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction using Self-Attention Map in BERT and GPT-2 (2023.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods for keyphrase extraction use contextualized embeddings to capture semantic relevance between words, sentences, and documents.
Approach: They propose an unsupervised keyphrase extraction approach that uses only a self-attention map in a pre-trained language model to determine the importance of phrases.
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms embedding-based models on three keyphrase extraction datasets.
ChuLo: Chunk-Level Key Information Representation for Long Document Understanding (2025.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Traditional approaches to truncate inputs, sparse self-attention, and chunking often lead to information loss and hinder the model’s ability to capture long-range dependencies.
Approach: They propose a novel chunk representation method that uses unsupervised keyphrase extraction to group input tokens to retain core document content while reducing input length.
Outcome: The proposed method minimizes information loss and improves the efficiency of Transformer-based models.
