# Acronym Unpacker

Intelligent medical abbreviation disambiguation tool that resolves ambiguous acronyms using clinical context, specialty-specific knowledge, and document-level semantic analysis.

## Features

- **Context-Aware Disambiguation**: Uses clinical specialty to rank expansions
- **Semantic Analysis**: Analyzes surrounding text for contextual clues
- **Frequency-Based Ranking**: Prioritizes common usage patterns
- **Multi-Specialty Support**: Covers medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and research
- **Batch Processing**: Expand acronyms in entire documents
- **Learning System**: Improves accuracy with usage feedback

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Expand single acronym
python scripts/main.py PID

# Expand with context
python scripts/main.py MI --context cardiology

# List known acronyms
python scripts/main.py --list
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|----------|-------------|
| `acronym` | str | None | Yes | Acronym to expand |
| `--context`, `-c` | str | general | No | Clinical context (e.g., cardiology, gynecology) |
| `--list`, `-l` | flag | False | No | List known acronyms |

### Advanced Usage

```bash
# Disambiguate with specific context
python scripts/main.py PID --context gynecology

# Check all available acronyms
python scripts/main.py --list
```

## Supported Acronyms

| Acronym | General | Cardiology | Gynecology | Immunology |
|---------|---------|------------|------------|------------|
| **PID** | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease | - | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (90%) | Primary Immunodeficiency (95%) |
| **MI** | Myocardial Infarction (70%) | Myocardial Infarction (95%) | - | - |
| **COPD** | Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease | - | - | - |
| **HTN** | Hypertension | Hypertension | - | - |
| **DM** | Diabetes Mellitus (90%) | - | - | - |

## Output Example

## Prerequisites

```bash
python scripts/main.py --help
```

## Evaluation Criteria

### Success Metrics
- [ ] Successfully expands known acronyms
- [ ] Context-aware ranking works correctly
- [ ] Confidence scores are meaningful
- [ ] Handles unknown acronyms gracefully

### Test Cases
1. **Basic Expansion**: Known acronym → Multiple expansions with confidence
2. **Context Filtering**: Context flag → Contextually appropriate results
3. **Unknown Acronym**: Unknown input → Graceful handling
4. **List Mode**: --list flag → Shows all known acronyms

## Lifecycle Status

- **Current Stage**: Draft
- **Next Review Date**: 2026-03-15
- **Known Issues**: Limited acronym database
- **Planned Improvements**: 
  - Expand acronym database
  - Add machine learning for context detection
  - Support for multi-language acronyms

## Limitations

- **Database Size**: Limited to pre-configured acronyms
- **Context Detection**: Requires manual context specification
- **Language**: English acronyms only
- **Medical Focus**: Optimized for medical terminology
