Analyse sémantique latenteL’analyse sémantique latente (LSA, de l'anglais : Latent semantic analysis) ou indexation sémantique latente (ou LSI, de l'anglais : Latent semantic indexation) est un procédé de traitement des langues naturelles, dans le cadre de la sémantique vectorielle. La LSA fut brevetée en 1988 et publiée en 1990. Elle permet d'établir des relations entre un ensemble de documents et les termes qu'ils contiennent, en construisant des « concepts » liés aux documents et aux termes.
Carrier-to-noise ratioIn telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation. For example, with FM radio, the strength of the 100 MHz carrier with modulations would be considered for CNR, whereas the audio frequency analogue message signal would be for SNR; in each case, compared to the apparent noise.
Dimensional regularizationNOTOC In theoretical physics, dimensional regularization is a method introduced by Giambiagi and Bollini as well as – independently and more comprehensively – by 't Hooft and Veltman for regularizing integrals in the evaluation of Feynman diagrams; in other words, assigning values to them that are meromorphic functions of a complex parameter d, the analytic continuation of the number of spacetime dimensions. Dimensional regularization writes a Feynman integral as an integral depending on the spacetime dimension d and the squared distances (xi−xj)2 of the spacetime points xi, .
