Patent ID: 10083170

Abstract:
Embodiments provide a system and method for short form and long form detection. Given candidate short forms, the system can generate one or more n-gram combinations, resulting in one or more candidate short form and n-gram combination pairs. For each candidate short form and n-gram combination pair, the system can calculate an approximate string matching distance, calculate a best possible alignment score, calculate a confidence score, calculate a topic similarity score, and calculate a semantic similarity score. The system can determine the validity, through a meta learner, of the one or more valid candidate short form and n-gram combination pairs based upon each short form and n-gram combination pair's confidence score, topic similarity score, and semantic similarity score, and store the valid short form and n-gram combination pairs in a repository. The system has no language specific constraints and can extract short form and long form pairs from documents written in various languages. The system is also not limited to whether the language of the given corpus is case sensitive or not.
