S-RAD: A Simple and Robust Abbreviation Dictionary
نویسنده
چکیده
The Simple and Robust Abbreviation Dictionary (S-RAD) provides an easy to implement, high performance tool for the construction of a biomedical symbol dictionary. We describe and evaluate the algorithms of the system and apply it to the MEDLINE document set. The resulting dictionary represents a useful tool to researchers and provides programmers with a mechanism to disambiguate abbreviation symbols automatically.

متن کاملAerodynamic Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...

متن کاملUnsupervised Abbreviation Detection in Clinical Narratives
Clinical narratives in electronic health record systems are a rich resource of patient-based information. They constitute an ongoing challenge for natural language processing, due to their high compactness and abundance of short forms. German medical texts exhibit numerous ad-hoc abbreviations that terminate with a period character. The disambiguation of period characters is therefore an import...
متن کاملResolving abbreviations to their senses in Medline
MOTIVATION Biological literature contains many abbreviations with one particular sense in each document. However, most abbreviations do not have a unique sense across the literature. Furthermore, many documents do not contain the long forms of the abbreviations. Resolving an abbreviation in a document consists of retrieving its sense in use. Abbreviation resolution improves accuracy of document...
