unusual facts about embedding



Clarke brothers

Thomas (1840?-1867) and John Clarke (1846?-1867) were Australian bushrangers from the Braidwood district of New South Wales responsible for a series of high-profile robberies and killings in the late 19th century so notorious that they led to the embedding of the Felons' Apprehension Act (1866), a law that introduced the concept of outlawry and authorised citizens to kill criminals on sight.

Collaborative decision-making software

IDC predicted that 2011 would be the year where the trend of embedding social media style features into BI solutions would make its mark, and that virtually all types of business applications would undergo a fundamental transformation.

Connes embedding problem

In von Neumann algebras, the Connes embedding problem or conjecture, due to Alain Connes, asks whether every free ultrafilter.

Flat manifold

A flat torus can be isometrically embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space with a C1 map (by the Nash embedding theorem) but not with a C2 map, and the Clifford torus provides an isometric analytic embedding of a flat torus in four dimensions.

Greedy embedding

For maximal planar graphs, in which every face is a triangle, a greedy planar embedding can be found by applying the Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma to a weighted version of a straight-line embedding algorithm of Schnyder.

Homotopy principle

Smale's paradox can be done using C^1 isometric embedding of S^2.

IPTC Information Interchange Model

These were defined originally in 1979, and revised significantly in 1991 to be part of the IIM, but the concept really advanced in 1994 when Adobe Systems defined a specification for actually embedding the metadata into digital image files — yielding "IPTC headers."

Jan Brinkhuis

Born in Veenendaal, Brinkhuis received his PhD in mathematics in 1981 at King's College London under supervisor of Albrecht Fröhlich with the thesis Embedding Problems and Galois Modules.

Johnson–Lindenstrauss lemma

In mathematics, the Johnson–Lindenstrauss lemma is a result named after William B. Johnson and Joram Lindenstrauss concerning low-distortion embeddings of points from high-dimensional into low-dimensional Euclidean space.

Linking number

The graphs that have a linkless embedding have a forbidden minor characterization as the graphs with no Petersen family minor.

Microtome

Electron Microscopy Technique: after embedding tissues in epoxy resin, a microtome equipped with a glass or gem grade diamond knife is used to cut very thin sections (typically 60 to 100 nanometer).

Nash embedding theorem

The basic idea of Nash's solution of the embedding problem is the use of Newton's method to prove the existence of a solution to the above system of PDEs.

Normal invariant

For example, if p is less than half the dimension of X, every map S^p\to X is homotopic to an embedding by a theorem of Whitney.

Norpak

Norpak's products, now part of and complementary to the Ross Video line, include equipment for embedding data in a television or video signal such as for closed captioning, XDS, V-chip data, non-teletext NABTS data for closed-circuit data transmission, and other data protocols for VBI transmission.

Playlistify

While building the service it grew into a more advanced site, giving user the possibility to share their playlists as well by embedding them on their own blogs, sites and social networks or sharing the playlist page through the Bitly-powered urlshortener Pli.st.

Real-time Cmix

Real-time capability was added by Brad Garton and David Topper in the mid-1990s, with support for TCP socket connectivity, interactive control of the scheduler, and object-oriented embedding of the synthesis engine into fully featured applications.

ScriptBasic

Slides in HTML format with English narration in RealAudio format are also available to get a jump start learning the architecture and module, preprocessor and embedding developments.

T-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding

t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) is a machine learning algorithm for dimensionality reduction developed by Laurens van der Maaten and Geoffrey Hinton.
