 Artifact (archaeology)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In archaeology, an artifact or artefact is any object made by a human culture, and often one later recovered by some archaeological endeavor.
The study of these objects is an important part of the field of archaeology, although the degree to which they represent the social groupings that created them is a subject over which archaeological theoreticians argue.
Artifacts are distinguished from featuress, which are nonportable remains of human activity, such as hearths, roads, or house remains, and from biofacts (also called ecofacts), which are objects of archaeological interest made by other organisms, such as seeds or animal bone.

In role-playing games and fantasy literature, an artifact is a magical object with some marvelous and alarming power, so great that it cannot be duplicated by any known art allowed by the premises of the fantasy world, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means.
Artifacts typically have no inherent limit to how many times their power can be invoked, and if any limitations are placed on their powers, it is a number of uses per day.
Under strict rules, any artifact can theoretically be destroyed by the Sorcerer/Wizard spell Mordenkainen's Disjunction, but for the purposes of a campaign centered on destroying an artifact, a plot-related means of destruction is generally substituted.

Anthropologists view culture as not only a product of biological evolution but as a supplement to it, as the main means of human adaptation to the world.
This view of culture as a symbolic system with adaptive functions, and which varies from place to place, led anthropologists to conceive of different cultures as defined by distinct patterns (or structures) of enduring, arbitrary, conventional sets of meaning, which took concrete form in a variety of artifacts such as myths and rituals,

 Synonymy and Contextual Disambiguation of Words
Synonyms arise as an artifact of the evolution of natural language; a variety of terms may often be used to supply a group of similar meanings.
Disambiguation is the process of determining that intended meaning.

However, the problem is that documents typically consist of words and not disambiguated synsets.
Disambiguation is a very hard problem and poor disambiguation is usually worse than no disambiguation at all.
We are further evaluating this with some of the on-line documents of the European Commission, where the availability of extra languages may further help the disambiguation process by reducing the overlap of senses between languages.

In microscopy, artifacts are sometimes introduced during the processing of samples into slide form.
In econometrics, which trades on computing linear relationships between related variables, an artifact is a spurious finding, such as one based on either a faulty choice of variables or an overextension of the computed relationship.
This prediction is a statistical artifact, since it is spurious to use the model when the percentage of citizens making over $50,000 is so high (and silly to predict an approval rating greater than 100%).

 Disambiguation Algorithm
Therefore, it is not possible to disambiguate the word plant using the entity#1 specification mark, and it will be necessary to go down one level of the hyponym hierarchy by changing the specification mark.
Finally, it is possible to disambiguate the word plant with the sense #2 using the {plant#2, flora#2} specification mark, because of this sense has the higher word density (in this case, 3).
If the word cannot be disambiguated in this way, then it will be necessary to continue the disambiguation process applying a complementary set of heuristics.

 Reducing Lexical Semantic Complexity with Systematic Polysemous Classes and Underspecification
Different than with homonyms, systematically polysemous words need not always be disambiguated, because such words have several related senses that are shared in a systematic way by a group of similar words.
The class artifact / attribute / substance for instance includes a number of nouns ("chalk, charcoal, daub, fiber, fibre, tincture") that refer to an object that is at the same time an artifact made of some substance and that is also an attribute.
Similarly, in shallow syntactic processing tasks, like statistical disambiguation of PP-attachment, the use of underspecified senses may be preferable as shown in experiments by (Krymolowski and Roth 1998).

The WordNet team has taken upon themselves to create a general semantic tagging scheme and to apply it on a large scale: every set of synonymous senses, synsets, are tagged with one of 45 tags as WordNet version 1.51.
This improvement is mainly due to the lower overall ambiguity rate: part-of-speech pre-tagging solved the "semantic" ambiguity for 40% of the ambiguous words in Test 1.
The error rate for those words which remain ambiguous after part-of-speech disambiguation is almost identical for both test cases.
