cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- One of the three major competing approaches to parallel programming mentioned in the paper; used for comparison with Linda.
- A financial tool used from the earliest design stage, specifying percentage allocations to different work categories to shape the building's feeling.
- Defined as an integrated and complete set of tools sufficient for creating, modifying, and executing programs, including notations, facilities, and interfaces—broader than programming languages alone.
- Framework influenced by Alexander's patterns; scrum methods; spread from software to architecture and construction.
- Optimal number of features scales faster than optimal number of training steps with compute budget.finding0.708Allocation result from scaling laws.
- Theoretical interpretation.
- Software engineering practices derived from Alexander's pattern language; incorporated into architectural studios and construction firms by early 2000s.
