Unsupervised Approach for Automatic Keyword Extraction using Text Features.
YAKE! is a light-weight unsupervised automatic keyword extraction method which rests on text statistical features extracted from single documents to select the most important keywords of a text. Our system does not need to be trained on a particular set of documents, neither it depends on dictionaries, external-corpus, size of the text, language or domain. To demonstrate the merits and the significance of our proposal, we compare it against ten state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches (TF.IDF, KP-Miner, RAKE, TextRank, SingleRank, ExpandRank, TopicRank, TopicalPageRank, PositionRank and MultipartiteRank), and one supervised method (KEA). Experimental results carried out on top of twenty datasets (see Benchmark section below) show that our methods significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods under a number of collections of different sizes, languages or domains. In addition to the python package here described, we also make available a demo, an API and a mobile app.
- Unsupervised approach
- Corpus-Independent
- Domain and Language Independent
- Single-Document
For Benchmark results check out our paper published on Information Science Journal (see the references section).
Extracting keywords from texts has become a challenge for individuals and organizations as the information grows in complexity and size. The need to automate this task so that texts can be processed in a timely and adequate manner has led to the emergence of automatic keyword extraction tools. Despite the advances, there is a clear lack of multilingual online tools to automatically extract keywords from single documents. Yake! is a novel feature-based system for multi-lingual keyword extraction, which supports texts of different sizes, domain or languages. Unlike other approaches, Yake! does not rely on dictionaries nor thesauri, neither is trained against any corpora. Instead, it follows an unsupervised approach which builds upon features extracted from the text, making it thus applicable to documents written in different languages without the need for further knowledge. This can be beneficial for a large number of tasks and a plethora of situations where the access to training corpora is either limited or restricted.
YAKE! is available online [http://yake.inesctec.pt], on Google Play, as an open source Python package [https://github.com/LIAAD/yake] and as an API.
There are three installation alternatives.
- To run YAKE! in the command line (say, to integrate in a script), but you do not need an HTTP server on top, you can use our simple YAKE! Docker image. This container will allow you to run text extraction as a command, and then exit.
- To run YAKE! as an HTTP server featuring a RESTful API (say to integrate in a web application or host your own YAKE!), you can use our RESTful API server image. This container/server will run in the background.
- To install YAKE! straight "on the metal" or you want to integrate it in your Python app, you can install it and its dependencies.
First, install Docker. Ubuntu users, please see our script below for a complete installation script.
Then, run:
docker run liaad/yake:latest -ti "Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class.[10] It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. There are several known mechanisms of action to explain the effects of caffeine. The most prominent is that it reversibly blocks the action of adenosine on its receptor and consequently prevents the onset of drowsiness induced by adenosine. Caffeine also stimulates certain portions of the autonomic nervous system."Example text from Wikipedia
This install will provide you a mirror of the original REST API of YAKE! available here.
docker run -p 5000:5000 -d liaad/yake-server:latestAfter it starts up, the container will run in the background, at http://127.0.0.1:5000. To access the YAKE! API documentation, go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/apidocs/.
You can test the RESTful API using curl:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5000/yake/" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
