Abbreviation and Acronym Disambiguation in Clinical Discourse
Use of abbreviations and acronyms is pervasive in clinical reports despite many efforts to limit the use of ambiguous and unsanctioned abbreviations and acronyms. Due to the fact that many abbreviations and acronyms are ambiguous with respect to their sense, complete and accurate text analysis is impossible without identification of the sense that was intended for a given abbreviation or acrony...
متن کاملAutomated Identification of Synonyms in Biomedical Acronym Sense Inventories
Acronyms are increasingly prevalent in biomedical text, and the task of acronym disambiguation is fundamentally important for biomedical natural language processing systems. Several groups have generated sense inventories of acronym long form expansions from the biomedical literature. Long form sense inventories, however, may contain conceptually redundant expansions that negatively affect thei...
متن کاملClinical Acronym/Abbreviation Normalization using a Hybrid Approach
A unique characteristic of clinical text is the pervasive use of acronyms and abbreviations, which are often ambiguous. The ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab organized three shared tasks on clinical natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) in 2013 and one of them was to normalize acronyms/abbreviations to UMLS concept unique identifiers (CUIs). This paper describes a hyb...

متن کاملMethods for Building Sense Inventories of Abbreviations in Clinical Notes
OBJECTIVE To develop methods for building corpus-specific sense inventories of abbreviations occurring in clinical documents. DESIGN A corpus of internal medicine admission notes was collected and instances of each clinical abbreviation in the corpus were clustered to different sense clusters. One instance from each cluster was manually annotated to generate a final list of senses. Two cluste...
