This paper presents a machine learning approach to acronym generation. We formalize the generation process as a sequence labeling problem on the letters in the definition (expanded form) so that a variety of Markov modeling approaches can be applied to this task. To construct the data for training and testing, we extracted acronym-definition pairs from MEDLINE abstracts and manually annotated each pair with positional information about the letters in the acronym. We have built an MEMM-based
