Project termbases and match scoring

Dave Devine

Hello everyone,

How are terminology match scores generated and where can the threshold for extracting matches to a project termbase be adjusted. For example, the world Menü in the source segment is reported as a match with a score of 53% for the term "Patienten Einsichten und Engagement". i think we can all agree that this is somewhat perplexing and not at all useful as a project termbase entry.

Using the project termbase in Studio does not display a match, so that is no problem. But how do I stop such poor quality matches from being extracted and put into the project termbase in the first place?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Dave, can you please try to increase the default "Minimum score for Segment Leverage" of 50% in the "MultiTerm Terminology Database" section of Tools/Personal Preferences and see if you can still see that TD entry? Please let me know if it helps.

    If that does not help, please file a support case providing the source file and an export of the relevant term from the TD. I am also interested in testing the scenario in Studio and understand why the TD match displays in Browser Workbench but not in Studio after export and which setting controls that.

    Hi Caterzina,

    Thanks for pointing me toward that setting! I've gotten so used to things being in various configuration files that a simple personal setting never entered my mind! After I bumped the match rate up to 75, I got more reasonable terms in Browser Workbench, although I found another illogical match: The German word Beispiel also matches PIE as above, showing as a 62% match. To me, 3 of 8 characters is 37.5%...

    I will open a support ticket and send you an export package that was created with the match level set at 50%. Many of the terms extracted and matches shown in Browser Workbench do not show up as hits in Studio's term window, even if I lower the minimum match level to 30.
