Patent attributes
One embodiment of the invention provides a method for terminology ranking for use in natural language processing. The method comprises receiving a list of terms extracted from a corpus, where the list comprises a ranking of the terms based on frequencies of the terms across the corpus. The method further comprises accessing a domain ontology associated with the corpus, and re-ranking the list based on the domain ontology. The resulting re-ranked list comprises a different ranking of the terms based on relevance of the terms using knowledge from the domain ontology. The method further comprises generating clusters of terms via a trained model adapted to the corpus, and boosting a rank of at least one term of the re-ranked list based on the clusters to increase a relevance of the at least one term using knowledge from the trained model.
