This paper addresses the problem of an automatic keyphrase extraction for a webpage text. Our method is unsupervised, and we call it W-rank. In our method, first we extract the text of a webpage and tokenize into three different candidate words list: unigram ,bigrams and noun phrases. Then we assign score to all words based on their individual appearance in linguistic and DOM-based feature sets. In the final step, we rank these candidate words using score and select top 5 keyphrase from each list and combine them as a final keyphrases for a given webpage. We focus more on the relevancy of keyphrases to its content using linguistic features. We compare our method with other methods using precision, recall and f-score. The experimental result shows, W-rank improves the performance of our previous method D-rank and outperforms other state of art methods.
