Contextual SDKE makes use of the document set to which the relevant document belongs, and in which there are similar documents ; other information outside of the document set may also be used in some types of contextual SDKE. Non-contextual SDKE makes use of only the relevant document with no other information. The latter does not necessarily make the assumption of independence of documents in general. Non-contextual SDKE is actually important for the case of isolated documents (not part of a document set), as well as for documents for which relevant supplementary information may be non-existent or unreliable. In addition, the study of non-contextual SDKE is a study of baselines in keyword extraction : before constructing complex methods using more information, it is important to understand what we can achieve with the document alone. This paper presents a study of graph-based unsupervised non-contextual SDKE. Recent studies by Mihalcea & Tarau (2004) (which was the original approach), Rose et al. Rose et al. (2010), Litvak, Last & Litvak et al. (2013) , and Litvak & Last (2008) , which also represent the state-of-the-art for the unsupervised version of this task, all use graph-based methods. The superior method (in (Rose et al., 2010), rediscovered in (Litvak et al., 2013) ) of the three simply extracts the vertex degree ; the other methods apply more complex algorithms (PageRank (Brin & Page, 1998) is applied in (Mihalcea & Tarau, 2004; Liu et al., 2010; Zhao et al., 2011) and HITS (Kleinberg, 1999) is applied in (Litvak & Last, 2008) ). What all three methods have in common, though they do not state that this is their explicit intention, is that they exploit measures of centrality of the graph. This paper aims to make these centrality measures explicit and study their appropriateness for the task. Our work will be comparable to that of Mihalcea & Tarau (2004) and Litvak et al. (2013) , who also worked on unsupervised non-contextual single document keyword extraction for the same dataset, with the latter presenting the previous state-of-the-art.

In non-contextual SDKE, the main motivation for attempting to model the text of a document as a graph is for the use of some ranking algorithm over the textual units of the entire graph, based on some notion of centrality, where the relationships modelled between these units (i.e., the edges or directed edges) are co-occurrence relationships. (Litvak & Last, 2008) and (Litvak et al., 2013) posit that this reflects linguistic syntax. Certainly, specific linear order textual relations can result from linguistic syntax, to various degrees depending on the language in question, and to a large degree in English specifically. However, it is unclear why syntax alone should be the motivation for the creation of a text graph and its input into a ranking algorithm. What specifically is the role of syntax in determining the most important textual units of a document ? (Mihalcea & Tarau, 2004) , on the other hand, argue that the edges represent connections between concepts (approximated by text units), in terms of their cohesiveness for building up a conceptual context \"web\" in which a human would understand the text at hand ; in this context web, they explain, some units are more important than others, and they are detectible by their connections with other important concepts, interpreted as \"recommendations\". They also introduce the notion of a text surfer, which we interpret to be the reader, over this concept web (PageRank with the concept web as input), as the algorithm for detecting some inherent ranking of units in this web. From these notions, two questions immediately arise. How does a concept (word) recommend another word from mere co-occurrence ? What does it mean for a word to recommend another word ? For the case of the internet, it is clear how these (directed) links form immediate recommendations for given topics.

We assume that the author is communicating in the most efficient manner possible, and that supporting concepts are named only when absolutely necessary. Moreover, we make the observation that in supporting or defining a concept, textual mention of a topic concept and supporting concepts should occur rather close to each other, in terms of the linear order of concepts (words) in the texts. We therefore approximate these concept support relations by co-occurrence relations, but recognise that these relations are essentially undirected : there is no clear order that should be observed between topic concepts and supporting concepts within a single sentence (or over several sentences for that matter).
