Title
Cross-language mining for acronyms and their completions from the web
Abstract
We propose a method that aligns biomedical acronyms and their long-form definitions across different languages. We use a freely available search and extraction tool by which abbreviations, together with their fully expanded forms, are massively mined from the Web. In a subsequent step, language-specific variants, synonyms, and translations of the extracted acronym definitions are normalized by referring to a language-independent, shared semantic interlingua.
