That is an 80% fit for the first 5. Looks promising ... Was this just by chance? Try out more (10)

Poorer luck this time? Try 10.000 for a bigger sample:

7077/10000 ( 70.8%) matches for [A-Z]+\s*[0-9]+
 +

Will this converge? Try 50.000 acronyms now:

 +
 +
=== Interpretation ===
 +
 +
Note that the samples were not random but the query style retrieves records in the order of the "eventId" initially being used for scraping. This might also be correlated to the year of the CFP which we extracted from the "start_date" rdfA property.

=== Year assumption ===
 +
The tests so far indicate that the digit part might mostly represent the year of the event's startdate.
 +
Let's check this assumption with a regular expression [12][0-9]{3} and checking whether the year found in the acronym matches the year of the startdate as found in rdfA property.
 +
==== Test ====

==== Test result ====
 +
<pre>
 +
43990/73731 ( 59.7%)  matches for [A-Z]+\s*[12][0-9]{3}

654/43989 (  1.5%)  year different
 +
</pre>
 +
If the year range 2007-2021 is applied the result only slightly changes:
 +
<pre>
 +
43974/73691 ( 59.7%)  matches for [A-Z]+\s*[12][0-9]{3}

  5. Interpretation

WikiCFP Acronyms

Input: Each WikiCFP page has a description rdfA property that use the syntax <acronym>:<title>. E.g. http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=20605 has: 

ISEM 2012 : 8th International Conference on Semantic Systems

Acronym: ISEM 2012 Title: 8th International Conference on Semantic Systems

We have scraped 81966 wikiCFP pages for the acronym and title based on this syntax.

Question: What patterns do the acronyms follow with what frequency?

Assumption

The Regular expression '"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000001-QINU`"' might fit - A sequence of upper case letters followed by whitespace followed by a sequence of digits.

Sample/Experiment

Test with Sample of 5,10,10.000,50.000 and 81.966

That is an 80% fit for the first 5. Looks promising ... Was this just by chance? Try out more (10)

5/10 ( 50.0%) matches for [A-Z]+\s*[0-9]+

Poorer luck this time? Try 10.000 for a bigger sample:

7077/10000 ( 70.8%) matches for [A-Z]+\s*[0-9]+

Will this converge? Try 50.000 acronyms now:

33707/50000 ( 67.4%) matches for [A-Z]+\s*[0-9]+

Try the whole sample set 81.996 next:

49728/81966 ( 60.7%) matches for [A-Z]+\s*[0-9]+

Interpretation

Note that the samples were not random but the query style retrieves records in the order of the "eventId" initially being used for scraping. This might also be correlated to the year of the CFP which we extracted from the "start_date" rdfA property.

Year assumption

The tests so far indicate that the digit part might mostly represent the year of the event's startdate. Let's check this assumption with a regular expression [12][0-9]{3} and checking whether the year found in the acronym matches the year of the startdate as found in rdfA property.

Test result

43990/73731 ( 59.7%)  matches for [A-Z]+\s*[12][0-9]{3}
654/43989 (  1.5%)  year different

If the year range 2007-2021 is applied the result only slightly changes: 

43974/73691 ( 59.7%)  matches for [A-Z]+\s*[12][0-9]{3}
640/43973 (  1.5%)  year different
