Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which data from web documents are partitioned into a training corpus and a development corpus are provided. First word probabilities for words are determined for the training corpus, and second word probabilities for the words are determined for the development corpus. Uncertainty values based on the word probabilities for the training corpus and the development corpus are compared, and new words are identified based on the comparison.

Word detection

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, to identify topic words in a collection of documents that includes topic documents related to a topic are disclosed. A reference topic word divergence value based on a document collection and the topic document collection is determined. A candidate topic word divergence value for a candidate topic word is determined based on the document collection and the topic document collection. The candidate topic word is determined to be a topic word if the candidate topic word divergence value is greater than the reference topic word divergence value.

Domain dictionary creation by detection of new topic words using divergence value comparison

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, to identify topic words in a document corpus that includes topic documents related to a topic are disclosed. A reference topic word divergence value based on the document corpus and the topic document corpus is determined. A candidate topic word divergence value for a candidate topic word is determined based on the document corpus and the topic document corpus. The candidate topic word is determined to be a topic word if the candidate topic word divergence value is greater than the reference topic word divergence value.
