Abstract
The Simple and Robust Abbreviation Dictionary (SaRAD) provides an
easy to implement, high performance tool for the construction of a
biomedical symbol dictionary. We describe and evaluate the algorithms
of the system and apply it to the MEDLINE document set. The resulting
dictionary represents a useful tool to researchers and provides
programmers with a mechanism to disambiguate abbreviation symbols
automatically.
