Towards Learning Terminological Concept Systems from Multilingual Natural Language Text
Terminological Concept Systems (TCS) provide a means of organizing, structuring and representing domain-specific multilingual information and are important to ensure terminological consistency in many tasks, such as translation and cross-border communication. While several approaches to (semi-) automatic term extraction exist, learning their interrelations is vastly underexplored. We propose an automated method to extract terms and relations across natural languages and specialized domains. To this end, we adapt pretrained multilingual neural language models, which we evaluate on term extraction standard datasets with best performing results and a combination of relation extraction standard datasets with competitive results. Code and dataset are publicly available.
