Abstract
Disclosed is a system for context-based abbreviation disambiguation, the system comprising: an ontological databank represented into a multi-dimensional space, a synonym databank, a glossary databank, and a server arrangement. The server arrangement is configured to obtain a text comprising abbreviations and concept phrases, extract a target abbreviation from the abbreviations, obtain potential expansions for the target abbreviation, calculate a synonym match score for potential expansions, using synonyms of the potential expansions and the concept phrases, calculate a concept match score, using concepts relating to the potential expansions and the concept phrases, calculate a context match score for the potential expansions using a comparison module, and determine one of the potential expansions as a valid expansion of the target abbreviation based on at least one of the: synonym match score, concept match score and context match score.
