BADREX: In situ expansion and coreference of biomedical abbreviations using dynamic regular expressions by Phil Gooch.
Abstract:
BADREX uses dynamically generated regular expressions to annotate term definition-term abbreviation pairs, and corefers unpaired acronyms and abbreviations back to their initial definition in the text. Against the Medstract corpus BADREX achieves precision and recall of 98% and 97%, and against a much larger corpus, 90% and 85%, respectively. BADREX yields improved performance over previous approaches, requires no training data and allows runtime customisation of its input parameters. BADREX is freely available from https://github.com/philgooch/BADREX-Biomedical-Abbreviation-Expander as a plugin for the General Architecture for Text Engineering (GATE) framework and is licensed under the GPLv3.
From the conclusion:
The use of regular expressions dynamically generated from document content yields modestly improved performance over previous approaches to identifying term definition–term abbreviation pairs, with the benefit of providing in-place annotation, expansion and coreference in a single pass. BADREX requires no training data and allows runtime customisation of its input parameters.
Although not mentioned by the author, a reader can agree/disagree with an expansion as they are reading the text. Could provide for faster feedback/correction of the expansion.
Assuming you accept a correct/incorrect view of expansions. I prefer agree/disagree as the more general rule. Correct/incorrect is the result of the application of a specified rule.
