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.

 Natural Language Call Routing
If there is only one such candidate destination, the caller is transferred to that destination; on the other hand, if there are two or more candidates, a disambiguation query ensues in an attempt to refine the user's request to select among them.
Our novel extension of the vector-based classification technique is in the dynamic generation of disambiguation queries when more than one destination is appropriate for a user request.
The generation mechanism utilizes the vector representation for the request as well as those for the candidate destinations, and selects those terms that are likely to succeed for disambiguation purposes.

The rule changes have been controversial, primarily on two accounts: some argue that “flicks” or “whip-hits” are a valid method of scoring a touch, and others contend that the changes cause scoring anomalies where touchs which have obviously landed do not register.
FIE regulations prohibit the use of transmitters in official scoring equipment to prevent cheating; however, extension lights may be wirelessly connected to the fencers so long as the wired lights (on the fencers themselves) remain the official indicators.
