Keyterm extraction is an important technology of Information Retrieval. For search engine, it could enhance search results’ precision by extracting keyterms of information. We are interested in how to enhance the precision of keyterm extraction, and applications of keyterm extraction. In this thesis, we implemented a method of keyterm extraction. We use the TF-IDF algorithm to evaluate the weight of keyterms, and then improved the precision of keyterm extraction by quotes block extraction and term expansion. Finally, we apply the keyterm extraction method to detect hot news in daily news pool.
