AMIA annual symposium proceedings, 2005•ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Use of abbreviations and acronyms is pervasive in clinical reports despite many efforts to
limit the use of ambiguous and unsanctioned abbreviations and acronyms. Due to the fact
that many abbreviations and acronyms are ambiguous with respect to their sense, complete
and accurate text analysis is impossible without identification of the sense that was intended
for a given abbreviation or acronym. We present the results of an experiment where we used

Abstract
Use of abbreviations and acronyms is pervasive in clinical reports despite many efforts to limit the use of ambiguous and unsanctioned abbreviations and acronyms. Due to the fact that many abbreviations and acronyms are ambiguous with respect to their sense, complete and accurate text analysis is impossible without identification of the sense that was intended for a given abbreviation or acronym. We present the results of an experiment where we used the contexts harvested from the Internet through Google API to collect contextual data for a set of 8 acronyms found in clinical notes at the Mayo Clinic. We then used the contexts to disambiguate the sense of abbreviations in a manually annotated corpus.
