In order to support the glossary building process, many previous tools rely on the assumption that the requirements set has a certain level of quality. Question/problem: Yet, the parallel detection and correction of quality weaknesses in the context of glossary terms is beneficial to requirements definition. In this paper, we focus on detection of uncontrolled usage of abbreviations by identification of abbreviation-expansion pair (AEP) candidates. Principal ideas/results: We compare our feature-based approach (ILLOD) to other similarity measures to detect AEPs. It shows that feature-based methods are more accurate than syntactic and semantic similarity measures. The goal is to extend the glossary term extraction (GTE) and synonym clustering with AEP-specific methods. First experiments with a PROMISE data-set extended with uncontrolled abbreviations show that ILLOD is able to extract abbreviations as well as match their expansions viably in a real-world setting and is well suited to augment previous term clusters with clusters that combine AEP candidates. Contribution: In this paper, we present ILLOD, a novel feature-based approach to AEP detection and propose a workflow for its integration to clustering of glossary term candidates.» weiterlesen» einklappen
