Abstract :
This work describes a case-study on contrastive term extraction from a popular
tutorial on information retrieval by C.D. Manning, P. Raghavan and H. Schutze. The results
on extraction of terms are evaluated with the help of a reference index of terms compiled
by the authors themselves. Execution of the case-study was motivated by 2 factors. Firstly,
this work is part of a major project on automatic creation of an ontology in the field of
information retrieval. Secondly, the authors also study applicability of the British Academic
Written English (BAWE) as an alternative collection necessary for a contrastive extraction of
terms. BAWE is a well-balanced and sufficiently representative corpus containing high-quality
academic texts on 35 academic disciplines. The aim of this work is to show that the use of a
contrastive approach with the help of such a balanced and representative alternative collection
as BAWE allows to quite effectively solve the problem of automatic term recognition.
