Abstract—Alphabetical abbreviations are often used; they
are composed of initials of each English word. However,
alphabetical abbreviations have problem with the polysemy. In
this paper, we propose the method to estimate the meaning of an
alphabetical abbreviation. The proposal method regards
meaning estimation of an alphabetical abbreviation as meaning
estimation of unknown word. This method uses the concept base,
and, Calculation of Degree of Association or Earth Mover's
Distance. They allow conceptualization of a word and
evaluation of semasiological association between conceptualized
words. And, Wikipedia is used to complement lack of
information due to an alphabetical abbreviation. This Paper
used 129 articles to evaluate the proposal method. The
experiments showed that the accuracy of the proposal method
was 79% and this method was effective than other method.
Index Terms—Alphabetical abbreviation, meaning
estimation, conceptualization, Wikipedia.
