  2. Copiale cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copiale_cipher

    A machine translation expert, Knight approached language translation as if all languages were ciphers, effectively treating foreign words as symbols for English words. His approach, which tasked an expectation-maximization algorithm with generating every possible match of foreign and English words, enabled the algorithm to figure out a few ...

  3. Translational efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_efficiency

    In cell biology, translational efficiency or translation efficiency is the rate of mRNA translation into proteins within cells. It has been measured in protein per mRNA per hour. [1] Several RNA elements within mRNAs have been shown to affect the rate. These include miRNA and protein binding sites. RNA structure may also affect translational ...

  4. Word error rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_error_rate

    C is the number of correct words, N is the number of words in the reference (N=S+D+C) The intuition behind 'deletion' and 'insertion' is how to get from the reference to the hypothesis. So if we have the reference "This is wikipedia" and hypothesis "This _ wikipedia", we call it a deletion.

  5. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Where force (F) equals lift (L) for forces measured perpendicular to the airstream to determine C = C L or force (F) equals drag (D) for forces measured in line with the airstream to determine C = C D on a sail of area (A) and a given aspect ratio (length to average cord width).

  6. BLEU - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLEU

    BLEU (bilingual evaluation understudy) is an algorithm for evaluating the quality of text which has been machine-translated from one natural language to another. Quality is considered to be the correspondence between a machine's output and that of a human: "the closer a machine translation is to a professional human translation, the better it is" – this is the central idea behind BLEU.

  7. Translational partition function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_partition...

    In statistical mechanics, the translational partition function, is that part of the partition function resulting from the movement (translation) of the center of mass. For a single atom or molecule in a low pressure gas, neglecting the interactions of molecules , the canonical ensemble q T {\displaystyle q_{T}} can be approximated by: [ 1 ]

  8. Signal-to-interference ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-interference_ratio

    The signal-to-interference ratio (SIR or S/I), also known as the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR or C/I), is the quotient between the average received modulated carrier power S or C and the average received co-channel interference power I, i.e. crosstalk, from other transmitters than the useful signal. [1] [2]

  9. Characteristic velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_velocity

    Characteristic velocity or , or C-star is a measure of the combustion performance of a rocket engine independent of nozzle performance, and is used to compare different propellants and propulsion systems. c* should not be confused with c, which is the effective exhaust velocity related to the specific impulse by: =. Specific impulse and ...
