	Major - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Major is a military rank denoting an officer of mid-level command status.
		In several European navies, the rank of Major was used in the term "Pilot-Major" to denote the senior deck officer of a vessel in contrast to the Captain (or Captain General) who was typically an Army officer, with little naval knowledge, assigned to command the mission on which a vessel was embarked.
		The rank of Major General arose during the 18th century, and was a shortening of the rank Sergeant Major General.

	Biocrawler:Disambiguation - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Disambiguation in Biocrawler and Wikimedia is the process of resolving ambiguity—meaning the conflicts that occur when articles about two or more different topics have the same "natural" title.
		Disambiguation should not be confused with the merging of duplicate articles (articles with different titles, but regarding the very same topic, for example "Gas Turbine" and "Gas turbine", or "lift" and "elevator").
		Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are only on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).

		The word major is also used a suffix for senior enlisted ranks such as Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, Drum Major and Pipe Major.
		In the German military, Major is one of the oldest existing ranks, dating to the 17th century.
		This is because, prior to the professionalization of armies subsequent to the French revolution, a major was appointed by the monarch to keep track of the expenditures and readiness of a regiment.

	WoWWiki:Disambiguation - WoWWiki
		Disambiguation is the process of resolving ambiguity—the conflict that occurs when a term is closely associated with two or more different topics.
		Disambiguation serves a single purpose: to let the reader choose among different pages that closely relate to various meanings of a particular term (some of which might logically utilize said term in a titular fashion).
		When the primary meaning for a term or phrase is well known (indicated by a majority of links in existing articles, and by consensus of the editors of those articles), then use that topic for the title of the main article, with a disambiguation link at the top.

		New York City is a major center for international business and commerce and is one of three "command centers" for the global economy (along with Tokyo and London).
		Throughout its history the city has been a major point of entry for immigrants; the term "melting pot" was first coined to describe densely populated immigrant neighborhoods on the Lower East Side, and according to some estimates as many as one in four Americans can trace their roots to Brooklyn.
		New York University (NYU) is a major research university headquartered in Greenwich Village which was founded in 1831 by a group of prominent New Yorkers.

	Baseball - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		While baseball's lack of major appeal in a significant portion of the world was a factor, a more important factor was the unwillingness of Major League Baseball to have a break during the Games so that its players could participate, something that the National Hockey League now does during the Winter Olympic Games.
		In Major League Baseball the longest game played was a 26-inning affair between the Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves on May 1, 1920.
		This rule (a footnote to official rule 1.04) was passed specifically in response to the fence at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which was 251 feet (77 m) to the left field pole, 1 foot (0.3 m) over the bare minimum required by the rules.

	Talk:U.S. counties (disambiguation) - Wikitravel
		I can see the need for spilts of the major regions in each state, but I am not convinced that counties are the best split in most cases.
		I think you mean "Yes" then - creating a correctly disambiguated redirect page for a county that does not warrant an article would prevent the edit page (of the "unwanted" county article) from opening; the redirect would instead return whichever article does cover that county.
		But, back to the need for counties, which again maybe should be discussed on the talk for Wikitravel:Geographical hierarchy, I have created 6 large regions for Oklahoma and populated those region with links to 89 cities and towns, which each city has then been created with a template.

	Sir Thomas Sydney Beckwith - LoveToKnow Watches
		In 1791 he entered the 71st regiment (then commanded by Colonel David Baird), in which he served in India and elsewhere until 1800, when he obtained a company in Colonel Coote Manningham's experimental regiment of riflemen, shortly afterwards numbered as the 95th Rifles and now called the Rifle Brigade.
		In 1802 he was promoted major, and in the following year lieutenant-colonel.
		Beckwith was one of the favourite officers of Sir John Moore in the famous camp of Shorncliffe, and aided that general in the training of the troops which afterwards became the Light Division.

		Word sense disambiguation, WSD, was a central topic of discussion at the workshop on Semantic Tagging at the ANLP 1997 conference in Washington chaired by Marc Light, (Kilgarriff, 1997), which featured several working groups on polysemy and computational lexicons.
		An important next major advance has to come from a closer integration of syntax and lexical semantics, namely, the ability to train these parsers to recognize not just syntactic structures, but structures that are rich with semantic content as well, (Hermjakob and Mooney, 1997).
		One next major technical advance is almost certain to come from a closer integration of syntax and lexical semantics, most probably via the ability to train statistical parsers to recognize not just syntactic structures, but structures that are rich with semantic content as well.

	Mathematics of the Western music scale - Wikipedia
		The distance and number of notes varies, but in the majority of the western classical and popular tradition, twelve notes span a single octave.
		For example, the interval of a major second is the "whole step" so common in the western tradition.
		We call this approximation a scale of even (or equal) temperament, since the distance to any other note is independent of (and consistent across) key centers.

	Enhancing a biomedical information extraction system with dictionary mining and context disambiguation
		A major problem is that because of inconsistent naming conventions, a term may be used to denote more than one semantic class.
		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.

		Petersburg, one of the places being disambiguated is much better known and it feels stupid to have to write St.Petersburg every time I want to link to the bigger of the two.
		People will see the major articles and think this is normal procedure, and start treating the default article as "first in, first served", so we start having [[Nowheresville]] and [[Nowheresville (disambiguation)]].
		In these cases, a disambiguation page is only needed where the ambiguous name also refers to other places that are geographically separate from the city/region pair.

	Robust Parsing - Xerox XRCE
		Semantic Disambiguation : WSD aims at associating a given word in text or discourse with a definition or meaning or semantic class (sense) that is distinguishable from other meanings potentially attributable to that word.
		All disambiguation processes involve matching the context of an instance of the word to be disambiguated with information from an external knowledge source (knowledge-driven WSD) or information about the contexts of previously disambiguated instances of the word derived from corpora (data-driven WSD or corpus-based WSD).
		But in the last Senseval/Romanseval competition, it has been noted that several unsupervised systems made use of the training data to fine-tune their results and that several supervised systems had a lexical resource as a fall back where the data were insufficient.

		Most major cities in the United States have one, with the striking exception of the second largest, Los Angeles, which currently does not have one either in the city or its metro area.
		A major disadvantage that critics cite in the current system is that a divisional winner could host a playoff game against a wild card team that earned a better regular season record.

		This is a slight variant of the standard disambiguation problem1 which has shown itself to be nearly intractable for most NLP applications, but which needed to be successfully handled if DR-LINK was to produce correct semantic SFC vectors.
		We based our computational approach to successful disambiguation on a study of current psycholinguistic research literature from which we concluded that there is no single theory that can account for all the experimental results on human lexical disambiguation.
		We implement the computational disambiguation process by moving in stages from the more local level to the most global type of disambiguation, using these sources of information to guide the disambiguation process.

		Heretofore, the focus of disambiguation has been on the sense inventory and has not examined the major reason why we would have lexical knowledge bases: how the meanings would be represented and thus, available for use in natural language processing applications.
		At the present time, a major paradigm for representing meaning has emerged in frame semantics, specifically in the FrameNet project.
		The FrameNet project has just released a major revision (FrameNet 1.1) to its database, with 487 frames using 696 distinct frame elements (although it is not guaranteed that frame elements with the same name have the same meaning).
