Abstract
Mechanisms are provide for implementing a context aware abbreviation detection and annotation operation. An instance of a full name of an entity is identified in received content and analysis of a context window associated with the instance of the full name of the entity is performed to identify a presence of a pattern of content representative of an abbreviation. An abbreviation is identified as being present in association with the instance of the full name of the entity based on results of the analysis of the context window and a mapping data structure that maps the full name of the entity to the abbreviation is generated. The received content is annotated based on the mapping data structure to thereby generate abbreviation annotations for the received content. The annotated received content is output for use by a cognitive system to perform a cognitive operation based on the annotated received content.
