Abstract
This paper proposes a method of domain classification of technical terms using the Web. In the proposed method, it is assumed that, for a certain technical domain, a list of known technical terms of the domain is given. Technical documents of the domain are collected through the Web search engine, which are then used for generating a vector space model for the domain. The domain specificity of a target term is estimated according to the distribution of the domain of the sample pages of the target term. Experimental evaluation results show that the proposed method of domain classification of a technical term achieved mostly 90% precision/recall. We then apply this technique of estimating domain specificity of a term to the task of discovering novel technical terms that are not included in any existing lexicons of technical terms of the domain. Out of 1000 randomly selected candidates of technical terms per domain, we discovered about 100 to 200 novel technical terms. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
