These keywords are vital in numerous applications from web search engines to abstractive text summarization. Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction (RAKE) [1] is an unsupervised, domain and language independent method for extracting keywords from documents. RAKE is based on the simple observation that keywords seldom contain stop words – such as and, of and the. RAKE uses a list of stop words to split the document text into candidate keywords. The list of stop words or stoplist is static. In this paper, we make the stoplist dynamic, in that, stop words, that do not currently belong to the stoplist but are identified as potential stop words for the given document are added to the stoplist. Consequently, every document has a unique stoplist. We compare the performance of our implementation to the standard RAKE implementation on Wikipedia articles.
