Probabilities or probabilistic forecasts [are] an attempt to convey the uncertainty in a forecast by expressing its likelihood of occurrence as a probability, or percentage. High probabilities do not guarantee an outcome-they merely indicate that that outcome is highly likely. Probabilities are usually based on the frequency of occurrence in the historical record. For instance, if the chance of receiving above-median rainfall in a particular climate scenario is 60%, then 60% of past years when that scenario occurred had above median rainfall, and 40% had below-median rainfall.  6, record 1, English, - probability%20forecast

There is, unfortunately, no way to tell beforehand in which season our forecast will do well or poorly... Our 1998 forecast, as in last year's(1997) forecast did not perform well because the forecast variables which have shown to be successful in prior years have just not worked well during the last two years. We attributed last year's forecast bust to the strongest El Niño on record which neither we nor anyone else was able to well forecast.  1, record 2, English, - forecast%20bust

Aucun équivalent français de même niveau n'a pu être relevé dans la documentation accessible. Le terme «bust» ne semble pas faire partie de la terminologie officielle, ni en anglais, ni en français; «forecast bust» a cependant été relevé sur Internet en anglais. Selon le Service de traduction météorologique du Bureau de la traduction à Saint-Laurent, le terme est peu connu et inusité; on précise qu'on ne l'emploie que dans de rares occasions et pour désigner un très grand écart entre la prévision et la réalité. C'est le terme anglais qui est utilisé (bust); on dira aussi «buster une prévision». On dira plutôt : «rater une prévision», une «prévision ratée».  2, record 2, French, - bide

[History of Hypertext] In addition to the establishment of individual links, Bush also wanted the Memex to support the building of trails through the material in the form of a set of links that would combine information of relevance for a specific perspective on a specific topic. He even forecast the establishment of a new profession of "trail blazers", "who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. "In current terminology, these trail blazers would be people who add value to published collections of text and other information by providing a web of hypertext links to supplement the basic information. But since we do not even have a market for basic hypertexts yet, we unfortunately have to do without special trail blazers.  1, record 3, English, - trail%20blazer

L'indexation associative des matériaux stockés en mémoire constitue la caractéristique fondamentale qui rapproche MEMEX des systèmes hypertextuels. Chaque élément d'information peut en sélectionner un autre de manière immédiate et automatique. Il appartient à l'utilisateur de relier les informations, d'enregistrer les chemins qu'il a définis et de leur donner un nom qui les identifie. [...] Cette indexation des informations imite les associations d'idées de l'esprit humain, établies à travers les réseaux de neurones qui relient les cellules du cerveau. Bush imagine aussi la nouvelle profession d'«ouvreur de pistes» (trails blazer), un expert capable de tracer des parcours utiles à l'intérieur de grandes masses documentaires.  1, record 3, French, - ouvreur%20de%20pistes
