Domain-specific lexical analysis

A computer program product for domain-specific data generation, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor at an electronic device to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• initiating an analysis on a domain-specific corpus to identify a base term and a modifier term, wherein the modifier term modifies the base term in at least a portion of the domain-specific corpus;
• accessing a first entry in lexicon data, wherein the lexicon data is accessible by the electronic device prior to the initiating and is configured for use at the electronic device in a language processing operation, the first entry including core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the base term;
• adding, based on the analysis, non-core data to the first entry, the non-core data corresponding to domain-specific lexical information for the base term, wherein the non-core data identifies the modifier term as a domain-specific modifier of the base term;
• and
• processing text based on the non-core data.

A system comprising:

• a memory of an electronic device, the memory configured to store lexicon data, wherein the lexicon data is accessible by the electronic device prior to initiation of an analysis and is configured for use at the electronic device in a language processing operation;
• a lexical analyzer configured to:
• initiate the analysis on a domain-specific corpus to identify a base term and a modifier term, wherein the modifier term modifies the base term in at least a portion of the domain-specific corpus;
• access a first entry in the lexicon data, the first entry including core data corresponding to domain-independent lexical information for the base term;
• and
• add, based on the analysis, non-core data to the first entry, the non-core data corresponding to domain-specific lexical information for the base term, wherein the non-core data identifies the modifier term as a domain-specific modifier of the base term;
• and
• circuitry configured to process text at the electronic device based on the non-core data.
