Keyword Extraction with Character-level Convolutional Neural Tensor Networks

1. Introduction

Keywordextractionisacriticaltechniqueinnaturallanguageprocessing. For this essential task we present a simple yet efficient architecture involving character-level convolutional neural tensor networks. The proposed architecture learns the relations between a document and each word within the document and treats keyword extraction as a supervised binary classification problem. In contrast to traditional supervised approaches, our model learns the distributional vector representations for both documents and words, which directly embeds semantic information and background knowledge without the need for handcrafted features. Most importantly, we model semantics down to the character level to capture morphological information about words, which although ignored in related lit- erature effectively mitigates the unknown word problem in supervised learning approaches for keyword extraction. In the experiments, we compare the proposed model with several state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised approaches for keyword extraction. Experiments conducted on two datasets attest the effectiveness of the proposed deep learning framework in significantly outperforming several baseline methods.

1.1. Requirements

• python2.7
• Chainer
• nltk

if using GPU

• cupy

1.2. Datasets

We provide two dataset, SemEval2013 and Inspec, and the original version is from https://github.com/snkim/AutomaticKeyphraseExtraction

|--data/
  |--semeval_wo_stem
  |--inspec_wo_stem
  |--test.txt

The dataset we used is from Hulth2003 and SemEval2010 with removing stopwords and stemming. And it contains a toy testing document.

1.3. Getting Started

Download

$ git clone https://github.com/cnclabs/CNTN
$ cd ./CNTN

Install python packages:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Usage

The model we provided is trained by semeval_wo_stem and is for the documents with stemming and removing stopwords.
