The evaluation has been done on MEDLINE abstracts. The results show that the proposed algorithm is faster and more efficient than the previous approaches, in term of space and time complexities. The algorithm has a very good Recall (92%), Precision (97%) and F-factor (94%). One improvement that can be done is to consider all kinds of acronyms definition patterns. This algorithm only considers acronym−definition pairs of the form Acronym (Definition) Definition (Acronym)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
