With growing amounts of available textual data, development of algorithms capable of automatic analysis, categorization and summarization of these data has become a necessity. In this research we present a novel algorithm for keyword identification, i.e., an extraction of one or multi-word phrases representing key aspects of a given document, called Transformer-based Neural Tagger for Keyword IDentification (TNT-KID). By adapting the transformer architecture for a specific task at hand and

This study also offers thorough error analysis with valuable insights into the inner workings of the model and an ablation study measuring the influence of specific components of the keyword identification workflow on the overall performance.
