Abstract

According to the accumulation of the electrically stored documents, acquisition of valuable knowledge with remarkable trends of technical terms has drawn the attentions as the topic in text mining. In order to support for discovering key topics appeared as key terms in such temporal textual datasets, we propose a method based on temporal patterns in several data-driven indices for text mining. The method consists of an automatic term extraction method in given documents, three importance indices, temporal pattern extraction by using temporal clustering, and trend detection based on linear trends of their centroids. Empirical studies show that the three importance indices are applied to the titles of two academic conferences about artificial intelligence field as the sets of documents. After extracting the temporal patterns of automatically extracted terms, we discuss the trends of the terms including the recent burst words among the titles of the conferences.
