	Asterisk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An asterisk (*) is a typographical symbol or glyph.
		In historical linguistics, an asterisk next to a word indicates that the word is a historically reconstructed form.
		The lowered asterisk is a symbol for convolution, e.g.

		In some computer interfaces, such as the Unix shell and Microsoft's Command Prompt, the asterisk is the wildcard character and stands for any string.
		In the GCSE examination, A* is a special top grade that is distinguished from grade A. In many MUDs and MOOs, as well as 'male', 'female' and other more esoteric genders, there is a gender called 'splat', which uses an asterisk to replace the letters that differ in standard English gender pronouns.
		In computer programming, the asterisk corresponds to Unicode and ASCII character 42, or 0x002A.

	Patent 6204848: Data entry apparatus having a limited number of character keys and method
		The disambiguation engine 34 performs a look-up function in the n-gram lookup database to determine which characters in combination with the characters associated with the NINE key are alternative n-grams.
		Once the disambiguation engine 34 identifies the alternative n-grams for the combination of characters associated with the NINE and TWO keys, the input and display engine 30 displays the alternative n-grams in the alternate row display 26 (ya, za, wa, xa and wc) as shown in screen 5b.
		After the disambiguation engine 34 removes the last set of characters from the possible combinations of alternative n-grams, the user identifies the left-most portion of the desired n-gram in the alternate row display (i.e., washe) as shown in screen 6g.

		These results were significantly affected by time constraints; results from the training data and initial perusal of the submitted answers strongly suggest that an additional 15 percent for recall, 10 percent for precision, and coverage of nearly 100 percent could have been achieved without looking at the answer keys.
		That is, we view the senses of a lemma as being hierarchically structured and the process of disambiguation as one that proceeds down the (inverted) tree making use of additional pieces of information to reach some node, hopefully a leaf.
		Although we may be able to disambiguate to a great extent based on frequency and syntactic considerations, as Wilks suggests, we may need to achieve the same results with other methods so that we can use the results of our disambiguation in other tasks.

		Uses of the asterisk include: In written text, the asterisk* is used to call out a footnote or otherwise mark something.
		A group of three asterisks arranged in a triangular formation is called an asterism (typography) asterism.
		I question the accuracy of this: "''Typographers call it a splat (This may derive from the "squashed-bug" appearance of the asterisk on many early line printers).''" This slang name is an old one in the computer world but typographers use terminology which is far older.

	Frank, King, Kuhn, Maxwell (1998)
		Even though the use of packed representations facilitates efficient parsing with ambiguity, the disambiguation problem is almost certain to show up when dealing with the output of an application.
		Since in all other cases the grammar will disambiguate the two construction possibilites, we can put a general preference or dispreference mark for either the complex or non-complex verb entry of ambiguous verbs like laisser that filters the ambiguity in cases like (27c), thus producing a single optimal analysis.
		Occasional mistakes in preferences are also less harmful if the application incorporates an interactive disambiguation tool where first the most preferred (optimal) analyses are presented to the user, but on demand lower-ranked analyses can be accessed, stepwise, by exploiting the relative ranking determined for the total set of analyses.

	ICC Help: PGN-spec
		Note that the above disambiguation is needed only to distinguish among moves of the same piece type to the same square; it is not used to distinguish among attacks of the same piece type to the same square.
		An example of this would be a position with two white knights, one on square c3 and one on square g1 and a vacant square e2 with White to move.
		However, if the white king were at square e1 and a fl bishop were at square b4 with a vacant square d2 (thus an absolute pin of the white knight at square c3), then only one white knight (the one at square g1) could move to square e2: "Ne2".

	The ADL Gazetteer Protocol
		Toponymic authority files focus on differentiating official placenames versus variant names, and they associate names with coordinate locations primarily for disambiguation purposes.
		Specifically, the protocol supports 1) finding a place named "California" belonging to class "states"; 2) disambiguation in the case of multiple returns; and 3) finding a place named "Santa Barbara" that is contained within the place named "California".
		For example, a gazetteer may support right truncation only (i.e., it may accept asterisks only at the end of text).

	Allen 1995: Natural Language Understanding - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		This technique can produce reasonable results in some cases but sometimes produces completely wrong translations because of its inability to use an understanding of content to disambiguate word senses and sentence meanings appropriately.
		In contrast, other machine translation systems operate by producing a representation of the meaning of each sentence in one language, and then producing a sentence in the other language that realizes the same meaning.
		The disambiguation problem appears much easier than it actually is because people do not generally notice ambiguity.

	BNC2 POS-Tagging Guide
		In the Disambiguation Guide, section 3 and section 4, we also cite cases where the POS-tagging in the corpus does not match the tag given in the citation, in that it is either an error or an ambiguity tag.
		The automatic disambiguation of determiners and adverbs is not reliable, because transitivity has not been encoded in the tagger.
		The contraction ain't is a special case: its first half is tagged UNC because it abbreviates so many different verb forms (am not, is not, are not, has not, have not) that no single tag can be applied to it (unless one were to invent a special tag for that purpose).

	2003 Interactive Fiction Competition
		I've put an asterisk (*) by some games that were difficult to categorize or when the categorization feels extremely subjective; you may want to read the review before deciding whether to play them.
		Coding-wise it's reasonably done but not brilliant: I ran into a fair amount of missing-phrasings and similar, and there was one bizarre point where the disambiguation for the crystal objects seemed to be completely broken and had to be hacked around by the author.
		I got through the first bit of the game on my own, the next bit with the walkthrough, and then for the last bit of the game the walkthrough failed me (sigh).

	Building a large annotated corpus of English: the Penn Treebank
		The package allows annotators to correct POS assignment errors by positioning the cursor on an incorrectly tagged word and then entering the desired correct tag (or sequence of multiple tags).
		The annotators' input is automatically checked against the list of legal tags in Table 2 and, if valid, appended to the original word-tag pair separated by an asterisk.
		The Penn Treebank has been used to bootstrap the development of lexicons for particular applications (Robert Ingria, personal communication) and is being used as a source of examples for linguistic theory and psychological modelling (e.g.

		In order to create definitions which have both necessary and sufficient conditions (defined, rather than primitive concepts), the double asterisk is used prior to the relation name.
