Sample output 2

The table below represents a ranked list of terms extracted automatically from a corpus of PubMed abstracts about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Term variants grouped together in the second column represent lowercased versions of all surface forms found in the corpus. For each term, the variants are ordered by their frequency of occurrence in the corpus. The score in the rightmost column is called termhood and is calculated as a function of frequency and length (in tokens minus stopwords). Alternatively, you may view the results as a dendrogram produced by the clustering algorithm described in this paper.
