Abstract
The paper addresses TermoUD — a language-independent terminology extraction tool. Itsprevious version, i.e. TermoPL (Marciniak et al., 2016; Rychlik et al., 2022), uses languagedependent shallow grammar which selects candidate terms. The goal behind the development of TermoUD is to make the procedure as universal as possible, while taking care of the linguistic correctness of selected phrases. The tool is suitable for languages for which the Universal Dependencies (UD) parser exists. We describe a method of candidate term extraction based on UD POS tags and UD relations. The candidate ranking is performed by the C-value metric (contexts counting is adapted to the UD formalism), which doesn’t need any additional language resources. The performance of the tool has been tested on texts in English, French, Dutch, and Slovenian. The results are evaluated on the manually annotated datasets: ACTER, RD-TEC 2.0, GENIA and RSDO5, and compared to those obtained by other tools.
