 ABSTRACT

Keyword extraction is a fundamental task in natural language processing (NLP), essential for
applications such as topic modeling and document classification. While many keyword
extraction methods exist, most of them operate in an unguided manner, extracting general
keywords without considering their relevance to specific categories. This paper addresses the
challenge of *class-specific keyword extraction*, where the goal is to identify keywords that
pertain to a predefined class or category. We propose an improved method for class-specific
keyword extraction, which builds upon the popular KEYBERT algorithm. Our method
introduces a more refined approach by focusing exclusively on seed keyword embeddings,
using a two-part scoring system based on cosine similarity to rank and expand the initial set
of seed keywords iteratively.

The proposed method is evaluated on a dataset of 10,000 entries from the German business
registry (Handelsregister), where businesses are classified into predefined economic sectors
based on the WZ 2008 classification scheme. The results of the evaluation show that our
method significantly outperforms traditional keyword extraction techniques such as RAKE,
YAKE, and standard KEYBERT in terms of precision for class-specific keyword extraction.
Precision metrics at various thresholds (Precision@10, Precision@25, Precision@50, and
Precision@100) demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently identifies more relevant
and class-specific keywords compared to previous methods.

In conclusion, our method sets a new standard for class-specific keyword extraction,
providing a robust solution for applications that require precise and targeted keyword
identification. Future research will explore the applicability of this method to other languages
and domains, as well as further optimization of the pipeline parameters.

 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Keyword extraction is a crucial step in information retrieval (IR), laying the

groundwork for tasks such as topic modeling, document classification, and clustering. As the
volume of unstructured text data continues to rise in the age of big data, the ability to extract
meaningful keywords from documents becomes increasingly valuable. This process provides
a foundation for transforming unstructured data into structured knowledge.

Traditional approaches to keyword extraction are often unsupervised, relying on

frequency-based or graph-based methods. Recently, language model-based approaches like
BERT have demonstrated enhanced capabilities for keyword and keyphrase extraction.
However, most of these methods extract keywords indiscriminately, without regard to
predefined classes or specific categories of interest. This limits their usefulness in tasks where
class-specific information is needed, such as classifying documents by economic sectors in a
business registry.

1.2 Motivation
The primary motivation behind this research is to address the challenge of extracting class-
specific keywords—keywords that are relevant only to a predefined class. In various
applications, such as classifying businesses into economic sectors, it is essential to extract
keywords that are not only meaningful but also specific to particular categories. Existing
keyword extraction methods do not sufficiently address this challenge, and the development
of a more targeted approach is necessary.

This research builds on the popular KEYBERT method, modifying its functionality to focus
entirely on class-specific keywords. The improved method is evaluated using data from the
German business registry (Handelsregister), with the goal of extracting keywords relevant to
predefined economic sectors.

1.3 Scope of the Project

The scope of this project includes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a new
pipeline for class-specific keyword extraction. This pipeline is tested on a dataset from the
German business registry, focusing on the classification of businesses into predefined
economic sectors. The method is designed to outperform existing approaches like RAKE,
YAKE, and standard KEYBERT in extracting relevant keywords for predefined classes.

 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND GOALS

2.1 Literature Review

The field of keyword extraction has evolved significantly over the past few decades, with
numerous unsupervised methods being developed. These methods can be broadly categorized
into:

• Frequency-based methods: The most common of these is TF-IDF, which extracts

keywords based on their term frequency in a document relative to a corpus.
• Graph-based methods: TextRank and RAKE are two popular approaches that build
keyword co-occurrence graphs to extract keywords based on their connections in the
graph. TextRank uses POS filters and co-occurrence windows, while RAKE assigns
scores to candidates based on word co-occurrences.
• Embedding-based methods: EmbedRank and PatternRank use sentence embeddings
and cosine similarity measures to rank candidate keywords. BERT-based models
leverage pre-trained language models for better context understanding.

Despite the effectiveness of these methods, they are largely unguided, extracting any
keywords that seem relevant without considering class specificity. This lack of focus on
class-specific keywords has been identified as a gap in the existing literature.

2.2 Research Gap

The main research gap lies in the absence of methods for class-specific keyword extraction.
Existing methods are designed to extract general keywords from a corpus without regard for
predefined classes. While some approaches, such as guided KEYBERT, allow for the
inclusion of seed keywords, they do not focus exclusively on extracting keywords relevant to
specific categories. This research aims to fill this gap by proposing a novel class-specific
keyword extraction method that outperforms previous techniques.

2.3 Objectives

The objectives of this research are:

• To develop an improved method for extracting class-specific keywords from a
document corpus.
• To test the method on a dataset of German business registry entries, focusing on
classifying businesses into economic sectors.
• To compare the performance of the proposed method with existing methods like
RAKE, YAKE, and KEYBERT.

2
 • To evaluate the effectiveness of the method based on precision metrics at different
thresholds.

2.4 Problem Statement

The existing methods for keyword extraction do not effectively address the challenge of
extracting class-specific keywords. These methods are unguided, and as a result, they extract
keywords without regard for the downstream classification or the specific class to which the
keywords should pertain. This project seeks to develop a method that can extract keywords
relevant to predefined classes, improving classification accuracy in applications such as
business categorization.

extraction and identify the gaps in class-specific keyword extraction.
 Method Development: Develop a pipeline that builds on the existing KEYBERT
method, incorporating modifications to focus on class-specific keywords.

The backend is divided into three main modules. The Text Preprocessing Module standardizes
the text by converting it to lowercase, removing special characters, and eliminating unimportant
stopwords. It also applies lemmatization to reduce words to their base forms, ensuring the text is
clean and ready for analysis. Following preprocessing, the text is passed to the Keyword
Extraction Module, which identifies important words or phrases using three algorithms:
TextRank (graph-based ranking), TF-IDF (statistical analysis of term uniqueness), and RAKE
(pattern and frequency analysis). Each algorithm offers a unique perspective on what constitutes
a keyword, enhancing the reliability of the results.

Once the keywords are extracted, the File Export Module allows users to save the results in
readable formats like PDFs or Word documents. The system also includes a Logger Module that
records every significant action, such as preprocessing steps, algorithm usage, and file
generation, into a log file for debugging or auditing. All processed files and logs are stored in
local storage for future access. This architecture is highly modular, ensuring that text data is
efficiently cleaned, analyzed, and output while maintaining detailed operational transparency.

4.2.1 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

22
The diagram represents the process flow of a text analysis application, showcasing how user
input is processed, analyzed, and transformed into output files, while maintaining logs for system
activities. It is composed of interconnected modules that define the application's workflow.

The process begins with the User Interface (UI), where the user provides text input and chooses
an export option. The input text flows into the Text Preprocessing Module, which cleans and
prepares the data for analysis. This involves converting the text to lowercase, removing special
characters, filtering out stopwords, and applying lemmatization to simplify words to their root
forms. Once the text is cleaned, it is passed to the Keyword Extraction Module, which identifies
significant keywords using techniques like TextRank, TF-IDF, and RAKE. Each algorithm
applies different logic, ensuring diverse and robust keyword extraction.

After keyword extraction, the results and processed text are directed to the File Export Module,
where they can be saved as PDF or Word (DOCX) files. These files are then stored in Output
Storage for later use. The system also integrates a Logger Module, which records each step of
the process—from text preprocessing to file generation—into a log file for transparency and
debugging. This modular design ensures that text data is efficiently transformed into meaningful
insights, with every step systematically monitored and documented.

23
4.2.2 USE CASE DIAGRAM

24
The provided use case diagram illustrates the interaction between a user and a text processing
and analysis application, focusing on user actions and corresponding system activities. It
highlights the modular approach of the application, where user inputs trigger backend
processing, followed by options for result viewing and export.

From the user's perspective, the process begins with providing text input. Once submitted, the
user can view the results, which include extracted keywords generated by the system. The user is
then given the option to export these results in various formats, such as PDF or Word (DOCX).
This ensures flexibility in accessing and sharing the output.

On the system side, the input text undergoes preprocessing, where it is cleaned by removing
unwanted elements like special characters and stopwords, converting to lowercase, and
lemmatizing words. This cleaned text is then analyzed to extract meaningful keywords using
algorithms like TextRank, TF-IDF, and RAKE. Throughout this process, the system logs key
activities, such as preprocessing steps and keyword extraction events, to maintain transparency
and enable debugging.

Finally, the system supports file export functionality, where the processed results can be saved in
user-specified formats. The export events are also logged, ensuring that all critical actions are
traceable. This structured approach demonstrates how the application seamlessly integrates user
interactions with backend processing to deliver a robust text analysis solution.

Performance Metrics
• Precision Gains: Outperforms traditional methods (e.g., RAKE, YAKE, standard
KEYBERT) by a significant margin, particularly in class-specific keyword
relevance.
• Recall and F1 Scores: Maintains high recall and F1 scores, demonstrating balanced
performance in capturing relevant keywords without introducing excessive noise.

Scalability and Robustness

• Handles large datasets effectively, demonstrating resilience in scenarios with diverse
document types, varying data quality, and substantial scale.
• Proven capability in maintaining keyword relevance and classification accuracy
under high data throughput conditions.

51
3. Implementation Feasibility

Technical Feasibility
• Relies on widely available open-source NLP tools (e.g., spaCy, Hugging Face
Transformers, Scikit-learn) and libraries for similarity scoring (e.g., cosine similarity
using embeddings like Word2Vec or BERT).
• Can be executed on mid-range computational resources, making it accessible to
small and medium-sized enterprises without high-performance computing
infrastructure.

Economic Viability
• Offers a cost-efficient alternative to manual keyword extraction and classification,
reducing operational overhead while improving accuracy.
• Potential for high ROI through automation, freeing human resources for higher-
value tasks.

4. Applications and Impact

Primary Applications
• Business Document Management: Streamlines the organization and retrieval of
large volumes of corporate or registry documents.
• Research and Academic Classification: Enhances categorization in bibliographic
databases, aiding literature reviews and citation analysis.
• Legal and Compliance: Assists in sorting regulatory filings, contracts, and
compliance reports.
• Data Organization in Knowledge Management Systems: Automates structuring
and tagging for better access and retrieval.

Broader Impact
• Reduces human intervention in data categorization, saving significant time and
costs.
• Enhances decision-making by ensuring quick access to class-relevant, structured
information.
• Paves the way for improved AI-driven workflows, particularly in industries relying
on large volumes of unstructured data.

52
5. Limitations and Future Directions

Current Limitations
• Restricted to unigram extraction, limiting the scope of certain domain-specific or
nuanced phrases.
• Primarily validated on German-language datasets, with potential challenges in
applying the method to other languages or domains.

Future Directions
1. Extension to Multi-Word Phrases:
o Incorporate phrase detection techniques (e.g., noun phrase chunking, co-
occurrence analysis) to extract meaningful multi-word keyphrases.
2. Cross-Language Adaptability:
o Validate and fine-tune the method for multilingual datasets by leveraging
multilingual embeddings (e.g., M-BERT, XLM-R).
3. Optimization of Iterative Refinement:
o Investigate the optimal number of iterations and parameters (e.g., similarity
thresholds) to balance precision and computational efficiency.
4. Real-World Deployment:
o Test the methodology in diverse real-world scenarios such as e-commerce
(product categorization) or healthcare (medical record classification).

Final Remark

The proposed methodology marks a significant advancement in class-specific keyword

extraction, demonstrating not only theoretical innovation but also practical feasibility. By
addressing existing gaps in precision and scalability, it provides a robust solution for
automated document categorization.
This work establishes a foundation for next-generation text classification systems,
unlocking opportunities for more efficient and accurate data processing across industries.
Future enhancements in multi-word extraction, multilingual capabilities, and deployment
scalability promise to further expand its applicability, cementing its role in the evolving
landscape of big data and AI-driven solutions.
