Research Paper: ALICE: An Algorithm to Extract Abbreviations from MEDLINE
OBJECTIVE To help biomedical researchers recognize dynamically introduced abbreviations in biomedical literature, such as gene and protein names, we have constructed a support system called ALICE (Abbreviation LIfter using Corpus-based Extraction). ALICE aims to extract all types of abbreviations with their expansions from a target paper on the fly. METHODS ALICE extracts an abbreviation and ...
متن کاملALICE: An Algorithm to Extract Abbreviations from MEDLINE
Methods: ALICE extracts an abbreviation and its expansion from the literature by using heuristic pattern-matching rules. This system consists of three phases and potentially identifies valid 320 abbreviation-expansion patterns as combinations of the rules. Results: It achieved 95% recall and 97% precision on randomly selected titles and abstracts from the MEDLINE database. Conclusion: ALICE ext...

Design. Our method uses a statistical learning algorithm, logistic regression, to score abbreviation expansions based on their resemblance to a training set of human-annotated abbreviations. We applied it to Medstract, a corpus of MEDLINE abstracts in which abbreviations and their expansions have been manually annotated. We then ran the algorithm on all abstracts in MEDLINE, creating a dictiona...
متن کاملResearch Paper: Creating an Online Dictionary of Abbreviations from MEDLINE
OBJECTIVE The growth of the biomedical literature presents special challenges for both human readers and automatic algorithms. One such challenge derives from the common and uncontrolled use of abbreviations in the literature. Each additional abbreviation increases the effective size of the vocabulary for a field. Therefore, to create an automatically generated and maintained lexicon of abbrevi...
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...
