      edu.cmu.minorthird.text.ExtractAbbrev

All Implemented Interfaces:

Annotator

public class ExtractAbbrev
extends AbstractAnnotator

The ExtractAbbrev class implements a simple algorithm for extraction of abbreviations and their definitions from biomedical text. Abbreviations (short forms) are extracted from the input file, and those abbreviations for which a definition (long form) is found are printed out, along with that definition, one per line. See: A Simple Algorithm for Identifying Abbreviation Definitions in Biomedical Text A.S. Schwartz, M.A. Hearst; Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 8:451-462(2003) for a detailed description of the algorithm. (http://biotext.berkeley.edu/papers/psb03.pdf)
