The keyphrases of a document are the textual units that characterize its content such as the topics it addresses, its ideas, their field, etc. Thousands of books, articles and web pages are published every day. Manually extracting keyphrases is a tedious task and takes a lot of time. Automatic keyphrases extraction is an area of text mining that aims to identify the most useful and important phrases that give meaning to the content of a document. Keyphrases can be used in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, such as text summarization, text clustering and text classification. This article provides a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to investigate, analyze, and discuss existing relevant contributions and efforts that use new concepts and tools to improve keyphrase extraction. We have studied the supervised and unsupervised approaches to extracting keyphrases published in the period 2015-2022. We have also identified the steps most commonly used by the different approaches. Additionally, we looked at the criteria that should be evaluated to improve the accuracy of keyphrases extraction. Each selected approach was evaluated for its ability to extract keyphrases. Our findings highlight the importance of keyphrase extraction, and provide researchers and practitioners with information about proposed solutions and their limitations, which contributes to extract keyphrases in a powerful and meaningful way effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
