Abstract

See full text

A technique for evaluating the topicality of keywords assigned to references retrieved from a database, so that interesting topics may be extracted. Since the number of references containing a specific keyword increases at a certain time and then gradually decreases with the passage of time, the topicality of a keyword can be evaluated by quantifying this phenomenon. Keywords are sorted based on the value of their topicality and displayed either as a list or as a graph in which the level of topicality is displayed along the time axis.
