Keyword Extraction — Automatic Key Term Identification

Keyword extraction is a natural-language-processing task that automatically identifies the words or phrases that best represent the content of a document. It turns a body of free text into a compact, ranked list of key terms, drawing on statistical, graph-based methods such as TextRank (Mihalcea & Tarau, 2004), or embedding-based methods such as KeyBERT (Grootendorst, 2020).
