Number agreement of verb with plural algorithm name as subject

Looking at the way Wikipedia users describe Active Contours, it would seem this is a mass noun that is recognized in the singular form. If you wanted to be extremely explicit, you could write:




The Geodesic Active Contours (GAC) model is a method for shape approximation that has demonstrated excellent performance for abdominal wall segmentation.




In this rewording, it is clear that model and method maintain continuity in the singular form.
