Detecting abbreviations in publications - text mining

Question

[davehresearch]

I'm new to text mining in biomedical literature and I'm building an application for that. To identify abbreviations and synonyms in text, Schwartz algorithm can be used. From where can I get the code for this? Isn't this code publicly available?

The algorithm is partially in the paper as Java code.

Hey! Can you please give me an answer for this question?

What information about VARIANTS are found in biomedical literature rather than diseases?

Not exactly an answer, but before splitting the texts using your own code, take a look at NLTK (Python): http://www.nltk.org/
