Topic: Space (disambiguation)


  
  Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Space has been an interest for philosophers and scientists for much of human history, and hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts.
Currently, the standard space interval, called a standard meter or simply meter, is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second (exact).
The way in which space is perceived is an area which psychologists first began to study in the middle of the 19th century, and it is now thought by those concerned with such studies to be a distinct branch within psychology.

Space can also cause anxiety in people, with agoraphobia manifesting itself in some people as a fear of open spaces, and claustrophobia being the fear of enclosed spaces.
Astrophobia is the fear of celestial space, Kenophobia is the fear of empty spaces and spacephobia is the fear of outer space.
Public space is a term used to define areas of land which are open to all, whilst personal space is the term used to define the amount of space a person likes to maintain between their own person and that of other people.

 Half-space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If the space is two-dimensional, then a half-space is called a half-plane (open or closed).
A half-space in a one-dimensional space is called a ray.
A half-space may be specified by a linear inequality, derived from the linear equation that specifies the defining hyperplane.

Space has been an occupation for philosophers and scientists for much of human history, and hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts (except scientific definition of space in physics and mathematics - see below).
In particular, a vector space and specifically a Euclidean space can be seen as generalizations of the concept of a Euclidean coordinate system.
Public space is a term used to define areas of land which are open to all, whilst private property is that area of land owned by an individual or company, for their own use and pleasure.

 Color
Media that transmit light (such as television) use additive color mixing with primary colors of red, green, and blue which are close to the wavelengths that generate peak responses of the eye's color receptors.
A color space that more closely models the human experience is the HSV color space which arranges colors in a three-dimensional cone, somewhat similar to the human color space discussed above.
Variations in the pattern's spacing often give rise to an iridescent effect, as seen in peacock feathers, films of oil, and mother of pearl.

From the seventies onwards, when the space race between the US and the Soviet Union had tuned down and space budgets were cut dramatically in both superpowers, ESA's time had come to establish itself as a forerunner in space exploration.
It is therefore not surprising that the first European in space was not an ESA astronaut on a European space craft: It was Czechoslovakian Vladimir Remek who in 1978 became the first European in space - on a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, followed by the East German Sigmund Jähn in the same year.
During the latter half of the 1980s European human space flights changed from being the exception to rather constituting a routine and therefore in 1990 the European Astronaut Centre that is situated in Cologne, Germany was established.

During their stay the space station went through rough times and several acute emergencies occurred, notably a large fire on February 23 1997, and a collision with a Progress (unmanned) cargo ship on June 25 of the same year.
Several space walks were needed to restore full power to the Mir (ironically, one of the 'space walks' was inside the Spektr module from which all the air had escaped).
The Mir space station was originally planned to be followed by a Mir 2, and elements of that project, including the core module (now called Zvezda) which was labeled as "Mir-2" for quite some time in the factory, are now an integral part of the International Space Station.

Disambiguation is apt: at a time when "ecstatic jazz" has become a marketing label for empty bluster, this quartet's concentration on precise quarter-tones produces a new, if sombre, light.
The verb "disambiguate" is defined in Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as follows: "to establish a single semantic or grammatical interpretation for." If applied to this disk, then, the title suggests that Pandelis Karayorgis is attempting to define his music in a single interpretation.
Disambiguation is far too complex and far too worthy a disk to confine to one interpretation.

 Space opera ,by www.cINEMA-resources.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Space opera is a subgenre of speculative fiction or science fiction that emphasizes romantic adventure, interstellar travel, and space battles where the main storyline is centred around interstellar conflict and character drama.
"Space opera" was originally a derogatory term, a variant of "horse opera" and "soap opera".
In recent years, a resurgence in space opera has resulted in what some consider to be a sub-subgenre often called "new space opera." Typically, new space opera combines the interstellar scale and grandeur of traditional space opera with elements of hard science fiction.

''Spaced'' is a British television situation comedy written by and starring Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, directed by Edgar Wright, and broadcast on Channel 4.
''Spaced'' is concerned with the strange adventures of two twenty-somethings sharing a flat in London: Tim Bisley (Pegg), an aspiring comic book artist, and Daisy Steiner (Stevenson), an aspiring writer.
In functional analysis, an F-space is a vector space ''V'' over the real or complex numbers together with a metric ''d'' : ''V'' × ''V'' → R so that # Scalar multiplication in ''V'' is continuous with respect to ''d'' and the standard metric on R or C.

It is the space within the space that is under the radar of governmental authorities; not only the actual police, but the machinery of policing that has come to populate the body of the 'road user'.
That is, it is not enough to label a space a 'non-place' as such a categorical distinction is temporally specific.
The space of the street becomes a space of potentiality - through action what is precipitated is the incorporeal event of 'nothing'.

 Color
The human color space is a horse-shoe-shaped cone such as shown here (see also CIE chromaticity diagram below), extending from the origin to, in principle, infinity.
This space is a (infinite dimensional!) Hilbert space, which means that it has a useful notion of orthogonal projection.
Variations in the pattern's spacing often give rise to an iridescent effect, as seen in peacock feathers, films of oil, and mother of pearl, because the reflected color depends upon the viewing angle.

These relationships power word sense disambiguation, so that proper meanings can be identified, and provide a definition of semantic space, into which information objects may be placed for conceptual search and retrieval.
The part of speech data is used during the disambiguation to bias particular meanings of words.
The job of the word sense disambiguation algorithm is then to look at the context established by the juxtaposition of particular terms and meanings in the input text in order to modify the initial context-free probabilities of the meanings into context-dependent probabilities.

 1998 Conference Proceedings
The system is based on a process known as "word-level disambiguation," where the system compares a sequence of keystrokes to words in a large database to determine the intended word.
Prior research on the application of disambiguation to augmentative communication applications has focused on using the letter-by-letter approach, sometimes in combination with a word-level approach based on a small database of common words.
In the case of a system based on word-level disambiguation used by an individual with adequate literacy skills, the association between any desired word and the selection sequence required to generate it is based simply on the spelling of the word.

The goal is to disambiguate or classify an ambiguous natural language object in context.
For syntactic disambiguation, I present a novel representation of parse trees that connects the words of the sentence with the hidden syntactic structure in a direct way and leads to natural definition of tree kernels via convolution of string kernels.
For disambiguation of the semantic role structure of verbs, I describe a model that captures regularities of the label space and incorporates the knowledge that the semantic frame of a verb is a joint structure with strong dependencies between arguments.

 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Memory Alpha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Deep Space Nine boldly went where no Star Trek had gone before in that it was the first series that was not actually a trek, being set instead on starbase Deep Space 9.
Deep Space Nine was also the first series to have regular characters who were not members of Starfleet, with Kira Nerys, a member of the Bajoran Militia and Odo, the station's chief of security as well as civilians such as Quark and Jake Sisko.
Ironically, one of DS9's most redeeming qualities — the fact that, being set aboard a space station, events from one season directly affected the next — also turned out to be one of its biggest drawbacks, at least where casual viewers were concerned.

 Purse Lip Square Jaw: Against disambiguation
And I take that to suggest not only that inflexibility is problematic, but that disambiguation is as well - precisely because of "the risk of collapsing valid distinctions" and becoming too invested in getting the 'one ring to rule them all'.
The erasure of difference is never neutral, and this desire to master a subject, to bring it to order and unity, to suggest its discovery and conquest through neologism, is at the heart of what feminist studies of science and technology have long criticised as exclusionary practices rife with power struggles.
Firstly, the debate around terms is happening between 'technological' elites and may filter across different thresholds in only very specific circumstances, as adam puts it, "to be able to talk to people about their experiences." well, unless they work as a super-geek or academic they are not going to have these terms in their vocab.

The vector space model had its importance as an early tool for experiments with alternative representation of documents and descriptors allowing clustering techniques or the computation of co-occurrences between documents.
The disambiguation techniques are mainly based on the idea that a set of words occurring together in context determine appropriate connotations.
The view of the concept space is considerably better while the explanation of respective concentrations is still insufficient.

No space is enclosed, but is always multidimensional, resonant and open to other spaces.
Territories are more bounded; milieu markers are arranged to close off the spaces (even while they themselves open up onto others), to inflect a more common character on that space.
So one might rid oneself of all one’s possessions each time one moves, but might recreate a similar space, a similar home, with a similar feel (a sense of light, of leisure, of tension) in the next place, drawing around oneself an expressive space from a var iety of markers and milieus.

 ALADDIN Workshop on Graph Partitioning in Vision and Machine Learning: Open Problems
Graph cuts in space: linear separators in the presence of connected examples.
Another view of this problem is that we want to find a minimum s-t cut in a graph, but the vertices of the graph are located at points in space, and the cut must correspond to a linear separator in this space.
So, perhaps one could use a measure that studies how much this edge information is helping in terms of getting us closer to the target function than we would be if we didn't have the connected unlabeled data.

Especially when the features of the task are given by individual lexical items and their conjunctions, the number of combinations quickly rises beyond any feasible amount of training data we might hope to collect.
In this paper, the notion of a Lexical Space is formalized and an experimental study is presented which examines the effects of various biases and information sources on the organization of the similarity space.
The distances in the Lexical Space are then (re)used as a similarity gradient in a Memory-Based Learner for several well-known NLP disambiguation tasks (PP-attachment, POS-tagging, Word sense disambiguation).
