 Articles - Instrument flight rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Instrument flight rules (IFR) is a set of regulations and procedures for flying aircraft without the assumption that pilots will be able to see and avoid obstacles, terrain, and other air traffic; it is an alternative to visual flight rules (VFR), where the pilot is primarily or exclusively responsible for see-and-avoid.
One advantage of IFR is the ability to fly an aircraft in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), weather conditions that do not meet the minimum visibility requirements for VFR.
It is important, however, not to confuse IFR with IMC: the vast majority of IFR flying is done under visual meteorological conditions (VMC), and in many cases, the pilot will be controlling the aircraft primarily by outside visual references, as with VFR.

 Enhancing a biomedical information extraction system with dictionary mining and context disambiguation
To disambiguate the admissible possibilities, the standard approach is to rely on the context in which the entity appears to provide additional clues to the intended meaning [16].
In [14] the one-sense-per-discourse [20] hypothesis was applied to disambiguation, exploiting the fact that the sense of a term is highly consistent within a given document.
The performance of the disambiguator based on learning only is rather poor on this set compared with its performance on the earlier locally disambiguated set.
