SurveillanceLa surveillance est l'acte d’observer des activités (humaines en général) ou un lieu. Techniquement, on parle aussi de supervision ou de monitoring. Secrète ou évidente, elle est ancienne ; il y a , L'Art de la guerre de Sun Tzu, décrivait comment utiliser des espions contre des ennemis. Récemment, l’électronique moderne et la technologie informatique, conjointement au développement des satellites, de l'internet et du smartphone ont ouvert de nouveaux champs et moyens à la surveillance (individuelle ou de masse).
Computer and network surveillanceComputer and network surveillance is the monitoring of computer activity and data stored locally on a computer or data being transferred over computer networks such as the Internet. This monitoring is often carried out covertly and may be completed by governments, corporations, criminal organizations, or individuals. It may or may not be legal and may or may not require authorization from a court or other independent government agencies. Computer and network surveillance programs are widespread today and almost all Internet traffic can be monitored.
Modèle de mélangeIn statistics, a mixture model is a probabilistic model for representing the presence of subpopulations within an overall population, without requiring that an observed data set should identify the sub-population to which an individual observation belongs. Formally a mixture model corresponds to the mixture distribution that represents the probability distribution of observations in the overall population.
Normalizing constantIn probability theory, a normalizing constant or normalizing factor is used to reduce any probability function to a probability density function with total probability of one. For example, a Gaussian function can be normalized into a probability density function, which gives the standard normal distribution. In Bayes' theorem, a normalizing constant is used to ensure that the sum of all possible hypotheses equals 1. Other uses of normalizing constants include making the value of a Legendre polynomial at 1 and in the orthogonality of orthonormal functions.
Pollinisationvignette|upright=1.5|La reproduction est dite « entomophile » quand la pollinisation est faite par un insecte (ici un bourdon). La pollinisation correspond, chez les angiospermes et chez les gymnospermes, au transport du pollen des organes de reproduction mâle (étamines) vers le (ou les) organes de reproduction femelle (pistil) pour permettre la reproduction sexuée. La pollinisation est une étape préalable à la fécondation dans le cycle de vie de ces plantes.
Modified discrete cosine transformThe modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) is a transform based on the type-IV discrete cosine transform (DCT-IV), with the additional property of being lapped: it is designed to be performed on consecutive blocks of a larger dataset, where subsequent blocks are overlapped so that the last half of one block coincides with the first half of the next block. This overlapping, in addition to the energy-compaction qualities of the DCT, makes the MDCT especially attractive for signal compression applications, since it helps to avoid artifacts stemming from the block boundaries.
Sélection de caractéristiqueLa sélection de caractéristique (ou sélection d'attribut ou de variable) est un processus utilisé en apprentissage automatique et en traitement de données. Il consiste, étant donné des données dans un espace de grande dimension, à trouver un sous-sensemble de variables pertinentes. C'est-à-dire que l'on cherche à minimiser la perte d'information venant de la suppression de toutes les autres variables. C'est une méthode de réduction de la dimensionnalité.

AuthenticatorAn authenticator is a means used to confirm a user's identity, that is, to perform digital authentication. A person authenticates to a computer system or application by demonstrating that he or she has possession and control of an authenticator. In the simplest case, the authenticator is a common password. Using the terminology of the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, the party to be authenticated is called the claimant while the party verifying the identity of the claimant is called the verifier.
Determining the number of clusters in a data setDetermining the number of clusters in a data set, a quantity often labelled k as in the k-means algorithm, is a frequent problem in data clustering, and is a distinct issue from the process of actually solving the clustering problem. For a certain class of clustering algorithms (in particular k-means, k-medoids and expectation–maximization algorithm), there is a parameter commonly referred to as k that specifies the number of clusters to detect.
BiométrieLe mot biométrie signifie littéralement « mesure du vivant » et désigne dans un sens très large l'étude quantitative des êtres vivants. Parmi les principaux domaines d'application de la biométrie, on peut citer l'agronomie, l'anthropologie, l'écologie et la médecine. L'usage de ce terme se rapporte de plus en plus à l'usage de ces techniques à des fins de reconnaissance, d'authentification et d'identification, le sens premier du mot biométrie étant alors repris par le terme biostatistique.
