A Term Recognition Approach to Acronym Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a term recognition approach to extract acronyms and their definitions from a large text collection. Parenthetical expressions appearing in a text collection are identified as potential acronyms. Assuming terms appearing frequently in the proximity of an acronym to be the expanded forms (definitions) of the acronyms, we apply a term recognition method to enumerate such candidates and to measure the likelihood scores of the expanded forms. Based on the list of the expanded forms and their likelihood scores, the proposed algorithm determines the final acronym-definition pairs. The proposed method combined with a letter matching algorithm achieved 78% precision and 85% recall on an evaluation corpus with 4,212 acronym-definition pairs.

Automatic Acronym Acquisition and Term Variation Management within Domain-Specific Texts
In this paper we present a framework for the effective management of terms and their variants that are automatically acquired from domain-specific texts. In our approach, the term variant recognition is incorporated in the automatic term retrieval process by taking into account orthographical, morphological, syntactic, lexico-semantic and pragmatic term variations. In particular, we address acr...

Standard face recognition algorithms that use standard feature extraction techniques always suffer from image performance degradation. Recently, singular value decomposition and low-rank matrix are applied in many applications,including pattern recognition and feature extraction. The main objective of this research is to design an efficient face recognition approach by combining many tech...
متن کاملBuilding an abbreviation dictionary using a term recognition approach
MOTIVATION Acronyms result from a highly productive type of term variation and trigger the need for an acronym dictionary to establish associations between acronyms and their expanded forms. RESULTS We propose a novel method for recognizing acronym definitions in a text collection. Assuming a word sequence co-occurring frequently with a parenthetical expression to be a potential expanded form...

متن کاملFace Recognition by Cognitive Discriminant Features
Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces by their most discriminant features. People usually describe faces in sentences like ``She's snub-nosed'' or ``he's got long nose'' or ``he's got round eyes'' and so like. These...
