Recent Results on Domain-Specific Term Extraction from Online Chinese Text Resources

This paper is to introduce recent results of an ongoing research called Live Dictionary Construction, which is investigating a number of efficient techniques for IR systems to automatically acquire Chinese terminological knowledge including domain-specific terms and similar terms from online text resources. Such research effort is pursued to be able to build a dynamic dictionary with IR systems, in which most of the necessary dictionary information can be dynamically extracted and adapted with the change of the indexed online resources. According to the obtained experimental results so far, it is promising that a live dictionary can be established and automatically grow.
