Keyword extraction from emails*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 September 2016
Abstract
Emails constitute an important genre of online communication. Many of us are often faced with the daunting task of sifting through increasingly large amounts of emails on a daily basis. Keywords extracted from emails can help us combat such information overload by allowing a systematic exploration of the topics contained in emails. Existing literature on keyword extraction has not covered the email genre, and no human-annotated gold standard datasets are currently available. In this paper, we introduce a new dataset for keyword extraction from emails, and evaluate supervised and unsupervised methods for keyword extraction from emails. The results obtained with our supervised keyword extraction system (38.99% F-score) improve over the results obtained with the best performing systems participating in the SemEval 2010 keyword extraction task.
