Interpreting nominal compounds for information retrieval

摘要: Abstract A nominal compound, such as computer science, is a sequence of two or more nouns that together form structure itself acts like noun. The interpretation compounds has been studied in the context natural language processing and potentially important for information retrieval. In this paper, we show simple, knowledge-intensive algorithms can successfully interpret many found technical documents. We also report experiments indicate effective identification concepts represented by may be possible without these algorithms.
