Nevertheless, clustering real-world data sets often raises problems, since the data space is usually a high dimensional feature space. A prominent example is the application of cluster analysis to gene expression data. ... In general, most of the common clustering algorithms fail to generate meaningful results because of the inherent sparsity of the data space. In such high dimensional feature spaces data does not cluster anymore. 2, record 1, English, - high%2Ddimensional%20feature%20space

The modern world is full of large data sets: census data, multimedia databases, and remote sensing data, to name a few. With the aid of computers it is possible to collect scientific data on a grand scale. These examples are not "large" merely because they have many data points. They are also high dimensional, meaning that there are many measurements taken of each person, multimedia object, or point on the ground. The "data point" representing one person is made up of their age, gender, educational level, occupation, and whatever else was recorded. Suppose there are 12 attributes recorded for each person. We can think of that person's record as a point in 12 dimensional space. 3, record 1, English, - high%2Ddimensional%20feature%20space

La perte d'un état s'appelait : diminution de tête (capitis deminutio) qui, comme l'état lui-même était triple : la grande diminution de tête (capitis deminutio maxima) - s'opérait par la perte de la liberté, qui naturellement entraînait celle des deux autres états (perte du droit de cité, perte du statut de famille). 2, record 5, French, - perte%20totale%20de%20personnalit%C3%A9%20civile

L'expression «capitis deminutio maxima» se traduit littéralement par «grande diminution de tête» dans le contexte du droit romain. Elle comprend à la fois la perte de la liberté, de la citoyenneté et du statut de famille. De ce fait, nous suggérons l'équivalent «perte totale de personnalité civile» en guise de «grande diminution de tête». 1, record 5, French, - perte%20totale%20de%20personnalit%C3%A9%20civile

The viral load test provides important information that is used in conjunction with the CD4 cell count: to monitor the status of HIV disease, to guide recommendations for therapy, and to predict the future course of HIV. ... A viral load test is ordered when a patient is first diagnosed with HIV. The test result functions as a baseline measurement that shows how actively the virus is reproducing and whether treatment is immediately necessary. If and when therapy is started, your doctor should order a viral load test and a CD4 count about two to eight weeks after you start a treatment to evaluate whether therapy is being effective. ... If the viral load measurement is high, it indicates that HIV is reproducing and that the disease will likely progress faster than if the viral load is low. 4, record 8, English, - viral%20load%20test

Le test de la charge virale mesure la quantité d'ARN du VIH dans le plasma. Cette mesure est un indicateur de l'ampleur de la réplication du VIH responsable de la destruction des lymphocytes T CD4 +. Combinée à la mesure de ces derniers, la mesure de la charge virale plasmatique permet d'estimer le risque de progression de l'infection vers le sida ou de décès. Elle permet aussi l'évaluation de l'efficacité des thérapies antirétrovirales. 4, record 8, French, - test%20de%20la%20charge%20virale
