Finding acronyms and their definitions using HMM
Lakshmi Vyas · Digital Scholarship - UNLV (University of Nevada Reno) · 2020
In this thesis, we report on design and implementation of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to extract acronyms and their expansions. We also report on the training of this HMM with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) algorithm using a set of examples. Finally, we report on our testing using standard recall and precision. The HMM achieves a recall and precision of 98% and 92% respectively.
