Abstract
A method and system for identifying expansions of abbreviations using learned weights is provided. An abbreviation system generates features for various expansions of an abbreviation and generates a score indicating the likelihood that an expansion is a correct expansion of the abbreviation. A expansion with the same number of words as letters in the abbreviation is more likely in general to be a correct expansion than an expansion with more or fewer words. The abbreviation system calculates a score based on a weighted combination of the features. The abbreviation system learns the weights for the features from training data of abbreviations, candidate expansions, and scores for the candidate expansions.
