 Dictionary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dictionary is a list of words with their definitions, a list of characters with their glyphs, or a list of words with corresponding words in other languages.
Dictionaries have had a variety of means of expressing the means of pronouncing words in those languages that are not entirely phonetic.
In dictionaries between English and a language using a non-Roman script, entry words in the non-English language may either be printed and sorted in the native order, or romanized and sorted in Roman alphabetical order.

Machine translation can use a method based on dictionary entries, which means that the words will be translated as a dictionary does — word by word, usually without much correlation of meaning between them.

Methods of handling compounds in an automated process as well as the effects of compound handling on retrieval results are presented.
Methods for component processing, handling fogemorphemes and the use of proximity operators are presented in Section 4, followed by a discussion in Section 5 on the relevance of the findings and their importance to cross-language information retrieval research.
It is, however, disambiguation based solely on the translation of individual compound words in the topic, not on phrases and multi-word concepts or semantic structures in the topic sentences.

 Karl Popper
In a critical sense, Popper's theory of demarcation is based upon his perception of the logical asymmetry which holds between verification and falsification: it is logically impossible to conclusively verify a universal proposition by reference to experience (as Hume saw clearly), but a single counter-instance conclusively falsifies the corresponding universal law.
More precisely, the method of theory-testing is as follows: certain singular propositions are deduced from the new theory - these are predictions, and of special interest are those predictions which are ‘risky’ (in the sense of being intuitively implausible or of being startlingly novel) and experimentally testable.
This dream was given further impetus, he speculates, by the emergence of a genuine predictive capability regarding such events as solar and lunar eclipses at an early stage in human civilisation, which has of course become increasingly refined with the development of the natural sciences and their concomitant technologies.

 Metaphysical Dictionary Introduction
In writing this book I intended to expound not the methods of medical alternativism, but medical alternativism itself: By conveying the central ideas of hundreds of alternativist methods, I hope to make clear that alternative healthcare is a "melting pot" of religion, occultism, folklore, escapism, parapsychology, pop psychology, pseudoscience, and medical guesswork.
It may seem cavalier to judge a method solely on the basis of the theory that underlies it, the method's context, its history, and the credibility or implausibility of claims for the method.
Relatively few of the unnaturalistic methods of medical alternativism have been the object of scientific experimentation, and these few have, at best, proved to be of questionable medical utility.

 LetterWise: Prefix-based disambiguation for mobile text input
Text entry was performed using a PC Concepts KB-5640 numeric keypad with standard 19 mm keys re-labeled to match the letter and number assignments typical of mobile phone keypads (see Figure 4).
For both entry methods the observed and predicted entry speeds are well below the speeds predicted in Table 2, suggesting there is plenty of room for improvement with practice.
For advanced experts, all reflexes are learned, and entry speed is determined by keypad geometry and the frequency with which pairs of keys are operated in succession.

 gskinner.com: gBlog: AS3: Dictionary Object
It's important to understand that Dictionary uses strict equality to match the object, not the reference, as the key.
Dictionary objects can be really handy for maintaining object lists / queues, such as a doLater queue for functions (though please note the bug mentioned below), a listeners list for a custom event system, a list of Sprites in a game, or a list of row-renderers in a list component.
In a dictionary, since the objects are the keys, you can just delete myDictionary[someObject], which is easier, and probably faster (haven't checked, but it should be, especially when there's lots of data in it).

 homeopathy
While Hahnemann's methods involve empirical observation, his theory of disease and cure is essentially non-empirical and involves the appeal to metaphysical entities and processes.
Classical homeopathy is generally defined as a system of medical treatment based on the use of minute quantities of remedies that in larger doses produce effects similar to those of the disease being treated.
However, "....methods of proving are highly personalised and of individual relevance to the homoeopath or experimenter."* In other words, one hundred homeopaths preparing a remedy for one patient might well come up with one hundred different remedies.

 Dictionary group report
At the first stage of the dictionary design the main task was to reveal a common terminology used within P1484 and to search for definitions of the corresponding terms.
For small dictionaries terms usually form a long list organized as one html-page, so even if some search is provided (which is basically not the case), you can see terms around the one you are looking for.
In the first case, basic dictionary search facilities are enough, in the second, it is necessary to support an additional visualization of domain structure.

 Ocean Informatics » Dictionary Write-up
A dictionary is created for a number of reasons listed above, including describing terms and prescribing a standard, however the purpose of a dictionary is also directly tied to the needs of the end-user and the audience for whom it is created.
For example, a temperature measurement might be defined by an attribute dictionary with information including what type of temperature is recorded (sea surface temperature), what units the measurement is in (pointer to the unit dictionary entry for ‘Celsius’), a description of the value (a real number, stored as a float with a precision of 0.01).
A dictionary results from a collaborative process where people with different research goals from different scientific projects, and even from different branches of science, come together with the goal of comparing and/or sharing field measurements and models as well as providing a framework for interoperability to answer larger scientific questions.

 Research Department - Dictionary Unit: Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies
Accordingly, the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies undertook a grand dictionary project focused on the creation of two kinds of lexicon – general and specialised lexicons.
In addition to general lexicons, the dictionary unit is also compiling critical, specialised Tibetan-Sanskrit lexicon of synonyms related to the respective Buddhist fields of logic; philosophy; metaphysics; ethics; scripture; practitioners’ literature; Tantra; medicine; astrology; poetry; grammar etc. These specialised terminologies are presented in terms of their meanings, definition and contextualised usage.
The present work incorporates over forty thousand entries of general, technical and proper terminology along with over hundred and fifty thousand Sanskrit equivalents relating to virtually all Buddhist as well as non-Buddhist Indian Philosophical schools, such as Nyaya, Vaisesika, Sankhya etc. This lexicon is of a magnitude greater than all other Tibetan-Sanskrit lexicons currently available.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Creating a medical English-Swedish dictionary using interactive word alignment
Some translation methods of interest, such as statistical methods, are possible to use if the dictionary also contains phrases with the words or co-existence information of the words[5].
The third step, standardization of the dictionary's terms, and the fourth step, use of the dictionary as a resource for semi-automatic translations, are briefly discussed together with future inclusion of the term candidates into a multi-lingual medical dictionary.
The evidence is based on static resources such as bilingual dictionaries and part of speech patterns across languages, which do not change by training, and dynamic domain- and application-specific data that is created through interactive training and machine learning.

 MCD - Maternity Care Data Diictionary - NHS Health & Social Care Information Centre
The Dictionary is therefore not designed to restrict what is recorded but to standardise some of the key data items, which may be required for data sets.
By identifying and standardising an overall data pool, this Dictionary provides a set of data items that should be recorded because they are relevant to the planning and delivery of maternity care and have benefits from being used and shared where appropriate.
The Maternity Care Data Dictionary does not therefore contain every data item required to support clinical records, nor does it prescribe the methods of data collection, the layout and format of data collection screens and fields or specific data sets to be recorded.
