https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software%20aging | In software engineering, software aging is the tendency for software to fail or cause a system failure after running continuously for a certain time, or because of ongoing changes in systems surrounding the software. Software aging has several causes, including the inability of old software to adapt to changing needs ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slater-type%20orbital | Slater-type orbitals (STOs) are functions used as atomic orbitals in the linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method. They are named after the physicist John C. Slater, who introduced them in 1930.
They possess exponential decay at long range and Kato's cusp condition at short range (when combined a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaeromyces%20robustus | Anaeromyces robustus is a fungal microorganism that lives in the gut rumen of many ruminant herbivores such as cows and sheep. Previously thought to be protozoa from their flagellated zoospores, they are biomass degraders and help the animal by breaking down carbohydrates and plant materials from the food the animal in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer%20Go | Computer Go is the field of artificial intelligence (AI) dedicated to creating a computer program that plays the traditional board game Go. The field is sharply divided into two eras. Before 2015, the programs of the era were weak. The best efforts of the 1980s and 1990s produced only AIs that could be defeated by b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith%27s%20attack | Coppersmith's attack describes a class of cryptographic attacks on the public-key cryptosystem RSA based on the Coppersmith method. Particular applications of the Coppersmith method for attacking RSA include cases when the public exponent e is small or when partial knowledge of a prime factor of the secret key is avail... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpropagation | As a machine-learning algorithm, backpropagation performs a backward pass to adjust a neural network model's parameters, aiming to minimize the mean squared error (MSE). In a multi-layered network, backpropagation uses the following steps:
Propagate training data through the model from input to predicted output by co... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthonormal%20frame | In Riemannian geometry and relativity theory, an orthonormal frame is a tool for studying the structure of a differentiable manifold equipped with a metric. If M is a manifold equipped with a metric g, then an orthonormal frame at a point P of M is an ordered basis of the tangent space at P consisting of vectors which... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High%20brightness%20monitor | A high brightness monitor, also known as a sunlight readable monitor or VHB (very high brightness) monitor, is a computer monitor designed to operate in very bright environments, for example in broad daylight. Sunlight Readable monitors typically provide at least 1,000 nits of brightness, versus 200-300 nits brightnes... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort%20sol | Sort sol is a murmuration, a flocking behavior that occurs in the marshlands in southwestern Jutland, Denmark, in particular the marsh near Tønder and Ribe. Very large numbers of migratory starlings gather there in spring and autumn when they move between their winter grounds in southern Europe and their summer breedi... |
