Hi Mariusz

Sorry for the delay.

If your problem is so dynamic that it cannot be described with rules, then you 
cannot extract such a list of terms automatically.

A semi-automatic method would be: you define rules that have little precision 
and high recall, this gets you an overly long list of terms that will include 
false positives. Then, look through this list manually, e.g. by looking at the 
term and its sentence context. Inspecting the data in this way might even 
suggest patterns you did not see before.

Another option is to still extract terms only automatically, with rules that 
work most of the time (probably more precision-oriented rules) and live with 
the margin of error.

If the terms to be extracted are a finite set (i.e. one that can be enumerated) 
that changes infrequently, consider taking the time to simply list all of the 
terms, for highest precision.

(We still don’t know what you will use the exported list for. Intended use also 
dictates the approach to a certain extent.)

Regards
Mathias
