English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

A consistent heuristic is a rule of thumb that helps an AI [artificial intelligence] system make decisions by narrowing down the options and choosing the best one. It is based on past experience and knowledge, and it is intended to help the AI system find a solution that is close to the optimal solution.

In order to have greater flexibility with regard to the various heuristic choices made during rewrite rule extraction, we [defined] a new theoretical framework for analysing instance-based learning of rewrite rule sets.

Record 3 2014-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research
CONT

... we instituted a heuristic that automatically classifies all abbreviations as incomprehensible to a lay reader. We do so due to our observation that each of the abbreviations occurring in our training set was classified as incomprehensible by our subject. We choose to implement a rule to treat them all as incomprehensible because even lay articles will occasionally make liberal use of such abbreviations after first defining them for the lay reader.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherche scientifique
CONT

D'une part, contrairement à l'article scientifique, où les destinataires sont des spécialistes qui connaissent le domaine et sont intéressés par les méthodes d'investigation scientifique des chercheurs et chercheuses, l'article de vulgarisation s'adresse à un vaste public qui connaît plus ou moins le domaine et qui est davantage intéressé par les résultats de la recherche que par la méthodologie utilisée.
