Arabic Keywords Extraction using Conventional Neural Network

Abstract

    Keywords provide the reader with a summary of the contents of the document and play a significant role in information retrieval systems, especially in search engine optimization and bibliographic databases. Furthermore keywords help to classify the document into the related topic. Keywords extraction included manual extracting depends on the content of the document or article and the judgment of its author. Manual extracting of keywords is costly, consumes effort and time, and error probability. In this research an automatic Arabic keywords extraction model based on deep learning algorithms is proposed. The model consists of three main steps: preprocessing, feature extraction and classification to classify the document tokens into keyword or not, Conventional Neural Networks (CNN) is used as a classifier.

Two types of dataset are building in this research to test the proposed model, the first dataset form Arab Journal for Scientific Publishing (AJSP), the other dataset from Jordan Journal of Social Sciences (JJSS). The experiment results indicate promising results in the field of Arabic keyword extraction; the average accuracy of Conventional Neural Networks is found 0.97 with average precision 0.92.
