- 1 Acronyms can have different meanings based on context, making them challenging to interpret.
- 2 The proposed method, hdBERT, combines general knowledge with specific scientific knowledge to improve understanding.
- 3 Using large datasets, the method has shown promising results in accurately identifying the meanings of acronyms.
