  Iron Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iron Cross originally was the symbol of the Teutonic Knights (a heraldic cross pattée) and the cross design (but not the specific decoration) is the symbol of Germany's armed forces (the Bundeswehr) and was the symbol of the German armed forces since about 1870.
The Iron Cross (a fl four-pointed cross with white trim, with the arms widening towards the ends, similar to a Maltese Cross) was designed by the neoclassical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and reflects the cross borne by the Teutonic Knights in the 14th century, which was also the emblem of Frederick the Great.
The Iron Cross was also used as the symbol of the German Army until 1915, when it was replaced by a simpler Greek cross, which was easier to recognize from a distance.

 Vector
The cross product (also vector product or outer product) differs from the dot product primarily in that the result of a cross product of two vectors is a vector.
Because the cross product depends on the choice of coordinate systems, its result is referred to as a pseudovector.
Fortunately, in nature cross products tend to come in pairs, so that the "handedness" of the coordinate system is undone by a second cross product.

An aim would be to find a language processing task for which these measures could be used (for example, word sense disambiguation or spelling correction) and carry out an experiment to decide which is the most effective.
Commonly, researchers investigating the use of TBL for some task have coded their own implementation of the approach tailored to the given purpose, and these implementations often cannot readily be reused for other tasks.
Automatically assigning the correct sense to a word in a given context is a challenging task, known as `disambiguation', and one of significance for practical natural language processing systems.

 [No title]
It was found that, in general, no more than a few minutes are required for a casual user to decide on the intended meaning of an ambiguous W in its most frequent contexts, thus resulting in the immediate disambiguation of thousands of occurrences of W in the text.
The method is also very useful in information retrieval contexts, where it gives the user an efficient tool for specifying, in a query with an ambiguous word, which of the word's contexts should be retrieved, thus greatly enhancing the precision of the retrieval.
Finally, it is expected that by gradually accumulating these disambiguation decisions in the appropriate word-entry of the available automatic dictionary of the language, "local expert systems" for many ambiguous words will develop, that can greatly facilitate ambiguity resolution in practical situations.

 The RATF Formula (Kwok's Formula): Exploiting Average Term Frequency in Cross-Language Retrieval
Query structuring using the syn-operator has been shown to be an effective disambiguation method in many CLIR studies (Ballesteros and Croft, 1998; Gollins, 2000; Hedlund, et al., 2001a; Meng, et al., 2000; Oard and Wang, 2001; Pirkola, 1998; Pirkola, et al., 2000; Sperer and Oard, 2000).
An important point is that one has to make difference between the disambiguation effect of a proximity operation and phrase-based searching.

 Second Description of English-Chinese Text Retrieval Interface
Upon the investigator's request, both subjects examined the disambiguation and results areas.
In addition, both subjects thought that instead of checkboxes, one text area should be used to display multiple terms for disambiguation (together with their translations) and another for the summary of retrieved documents.
Translation disambiguation area is split into two parts: the "Terms with multiple translations" and "Terms that have no translation." We believe that informing searchers of translation-missing query terms is very important.

Two aspects are particularly prominent: segmentation and disambiguation.
Disambiguating the attachment of the relative by relying exclusively on semantic/pragmatic information, without syntactic reflex (Carreiras and Clifton, 1993, in press; Cuetos and Mitchell, 1988), might, on the other hand, tap post-syntactic strategies.
The materials, created in parallel in the two languages, are ambiguous in the off-line (questionnaire) task and disambiguated syntactically by using number agreement in the on-line (self-paced reading) task, where the critical sequence, _N1 of/de N2_, is presented in one frame.

The two approaches based on relevance feedback (2.2.5 and 2.2.6) are a step in this direction since expanding a query with the translation of an entire document that is judged relevant tends to smooth out the undesirable effects of wrong translations of single query terms.
Disambiguation is an important requirement for cross-language retrieval because it helps to avoid the negative consequences of the ambiguities of the source and target languages combined.
The project will use and further develop corpus-based techniques for syntactic (part of speech) and semantic disambiguation of words depending on their syntactic context and the words with which they co-occur.
