Disambiguation for Text Mining on the Web (1529 words)
Our disambiguation system is based on the classical idea that disambiguation can be achieved by relying on the presence or absence of additional terms that appear in the context of a subject.
Disambiguation is done on a particular data-set, which consists of a set of source Web-pages, a set of subjects and a set of on/off topic terms for disambiguation.
The Disambiguator tags each spot as being on topic or off topic, which is then used both to feed further processing stages, and displayed to the user together with the context and the evidence that led to the decision.
Pink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (943 words)
"Pink" was not a color word known to Shakespeare: it was invented in the 17th century to describe the light red flowers of pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus, possibly named from the "pinked" edges of their petals appearing to have been cut with pinking shears.
Pink along with red is traditionally used on maps for territory ruled by the British Empire or for members of the Commonwealth of Nations.
Pink is also associated with gays, lesbians, and bisexuals, often in the form of a pink triangle.
