Meaning Estimation Method of Alphabetical Abbreviation using Conceptualization of a Word and Wikipedia

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the method to estimate the meaning of an alphabetical abbreviation. To resolve the polysemy of alphabetical abbreviations, this method uses the concept base, Wikipedia, and, the evaluation approach for semasiological association between sentences. The concept base allows Conceptualization of a word. We apply Calculation of Degree of Association or Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) to evaluate semasiological association between sentences. This paper used 129 articles to evaluate the proposal method. 129 articles included 129 meanings of alphabetical abbreviations and 58 literation of alphabetical abbreviations. The experiments showed that the accuracy of the proposal method was close to 80%.
