A Laypeople Study on Terminology Identification across Domains and Task Definitions

NAACL 2018  ·  Anna H{\"a}tty, Sabine Schulte im Walde ·

This paper introduces a new dataset of term annotation. Given that even experts vary significantly in their understanding of termhood, and that term identification is mostly performed as a binary task, we offer a novel perspective to explore the common, natural understanding of what constitutes a term: Laypeople annotate single-word and multi-word terms, across four domains and across four task definitions. Analyses based on inter-annotator agreement offer insights into differences in term specificity, term granularity and subtermhood.
