Notation table.

Notation Description
pattern pool A subset of the extraction patterns that tend to extract the seed words
candidate word pool The candidate nouns extracted by pattern pool are placed in candidate word pool
TC Total correlation, also called multi-information, it quantifies the redundancy or dependency among a set of n random variables.
DKL Kullback–Leibler divergence, also called relative entropy, is a measure of how probability distribution is different from a second, reference probability distribution [50].
p(xG) Probability densities of XG
I(X:Y) The mutual information between two random variables
p(y|x) y’s dependence on x can be written in terms of a linear number of parameters which are just the estimate marginals
δ The Kronecker delta, a function of two variables. The function is 1 if the variables are equal, and 0 otherwise.
Zj(x) A constant used to ensure the normalization of p(y|x) for each x. It can be calculated by summing |y|=k, an initial parameter.
