Arabic Domain Terminology Extraction: A Literature Review

Abstract

Abstract. Domain terminology extraction is an important step in many applications such as ontology building and information retrieval. Analyzing a corpus to automatically extract key terms is a difficult task, especially in the case of Arabic language. The complexity of spelling, morphology and semantics of Arabic makes natural language processing tasks quite difficult. In addition to the complexity of Arabic, the challenges related to domain terminology extraction are caused by the inherent difficulty in determining whether a word or a phrase represents or not a given text. All these problems have not restricted the multitude of Arabic terminology extraction approaches in the ontology building process. Therefore, this article presents a literature review in the field of Arabic terminology extraction focusing on the specificities of this language.

Combining Indexing Units for Arabic Information Retrieval

“…Thus, a second part of our work consists on applying some combining methods to better quantify these semantic relationships. However, to better model semantics, we plan as further work study other existing semantic approaches like ontology construction (Belkredim & AlSebai, 2009;Bounhas et al, 2014;Bounhas et al, 2011;Khan & Luo, 2002). The chosen combination approaches were based on empirical tests but future works can determine weights in an interactive way like in Neji et al (2014).…”
