Abstract

We describe a web application, GlossExtractor, that receives in input the output of a terminology extraction web application, TermExtractor, or a user-provided terminology, and then searches several repositories (on-line glossaries, web documents, user-specified web pages) for sentences that are candidate definitions for each of the input terms. Candidate definitions are then filtered using statistical indicators and machine-learned regular patterns. Finally, the user can inspect the acquired definitions and perform an individual or group validation. The validated glossary is then downloaded in one of several formats.
