Evaluating Term Extraction Methods for Domain Analysis

This study compared the vocabularies created by various domain experts and the source documents selected by them to create the vocabulary. The results indicate that there is similarity among the vocabularies created and the source documents selected. Also, the relationship between the overlap scores of vocabularies created and overlap scores of source documents selected was tested and it was observed that no significant relation exists between them. In addition, the variability of the overlap scores of the vocabularies generated automatically to the variability of the overlap scores of those produced manually by domain experts was evaluated. The results suggested that these vocabularies are significantly different from each other.
