SaRAD: a Simple and Robust Abbreviation Dictionary

Eytan Adar

HP Laboratories, 1501 Page Mill Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA

Received on July 10, 2003 ; accepted on July 22, 2003
Advance Access Publication January 22, 2004

Motivation: Due to recent interest in the use of textual material to augment traditional experiments it has become necessary to automatically cluster, classify and filter natural language information.

Results: The Simple and Robust Abbreviation Dictionary (SaRAD) provides an easy to implement, high performance tool for the construction of a biomedical symbol dictionary. The algorithms, applied to the MEDLINE document set, result in a high quality dictionary and toolset to disambiguate abbreviation symbols automatically.

Availability: The SaRAD tool, supplementary information and pseudo-code are available at http://www.hpl.hp.com/shl/projects/abbrev.html
