Highlights: Language‐ and domain‐independent automatic indexing terms for abstracting

Abstract

A method of drawing index terms from text is presented. The approach uses no stop list, stemmer, or other language‐ and domain‐specific component, allowing operation in any language or domain with only trivial modification. The method uses n‐gram counts, achieving a function similar to, but more general than, a stemmer. The generated index terms, which the author calls “highlights,” are suitable for identifying the topic for perusal and selection. An extension is also described and demonstrated which selects index terms to represent a subset of documents, distinguishing them from the corpus. Some experimental results are presented, showing operation in English, Spanish, German, Georgian, Russian, and Japanese. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
