Hello all, could you explain how POS tags contribute to improved performance of abbreviation detection models on the PLOD dataset?

As far as i know,
POS tags provide syntactic context that helps distinguish abbreviations (often tagged as proper nouns or acronyms) from regular tokens. Leveraging POS features can:

  • Improve precision by filtering out tokens that match acronym patterns but function differently in a sentence.
  • Aid sequence models (like BiLSTMs or Transformers) in learning token dependencies, boosting recall for long-form spans.
