Examples Not Extracted by Devopedia
- Acronyms starting with multiple lowercase letters from a word such as bidirectional language model (biLM). But we can extract bidirectional language model (BiLM).
- Non-common "compound" words (which could be fixed by looking for sub-words):

- OpenID Connect (OIDC)
- Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)
- Word to digit:
- Lightweight Machine to Machine (LWM2M)

- Connected Hospital over IP (CHIP) that combine sub-expansion + stopword
Other Issues
- Hierarchical SBM (hSBM) and Hierarchical SBM (H-SBM) are treated differently since acronyms have different forms.
- Distribution Center (DC) and Distribution Centre (DC) are treated as two different acronyms
- When displayed, MR-DC is expanded separately for MR and DC but not as a composite.
Suppose an article uses the acronym "CSS". On mouse hover, the expanded form is shown as a tooltip. If there are multiple expansions (such as
Cascading Style SheetsandChirp Spread Spectrum), all the expansions are shown. This is a limitation of Devopedia platform. Instead, only the most relevant expansion should be shown. In the article titled CSS Grid Layout, the only sensible expansion of CSS isCascading Style Sheets.The job of the NLP model is to look at the current article context or even paragraph context to know which is the correct expansion.
Where do the expansions come from? Devopedia maintains acronyms in two database tables:
In other words, an acronym and it's expansion doesn't enter the Devopedia system until it's defined in some article. All article content plus the two acronym tables will be shared as data for this task.
Optional: The scope of this work can be expanded to acronyms that are not in the system. In these case, the expansions would have to come from external sources (databases, Wikipedia, Google search, etc.) This means that if a new acronym is used by an author without defining, we'll still be able to show the correct expansion.
