Somehow, #terminology got scrambled between the two sides of the #Atlantic. In #Europe we interpret some words differently than in the US:
#football (kicking a spherical ball), #liberal (political centre), #libertarian (anarcho-communist), #republican (anti-monarchist), #rubber (eraser), etc.

An easy puzzle about mathematical terminology.
Name a language that uses the _same_ word for BOWSTRING and SINE.
Context:
A BOWSTRING is a well-known concrete example of a _chord_ (of a circle).
The SINE function is immediately related to a _chord's_ length._________
As a spoiler of sorts,

↓
↓
and for extra credit,
↓
↓
↓
recall how the word SINUS, Latin for FOLD, GULF, POCKET
(all rather different from bowstrings),
came to be used to name that function.--␠
My other bowstring is a quiver. -
Why do we have precise terms for LLM failures like "hallucination" but almost none for the human side of AI interaction?
The AUGMANITAI framework addresses this gap — a terminology compendium identifying and naming phenomena that occur when humans interact with AI systems. From sycophancy patterns to confidence calibration artifacts.

When an LLM confidently presents false information, researchers call it "hallucination." When it agrees with everything you say, the term is "sycophancy." But most phenomena in human-AI interaction still have no name.
AUGMANITAI is an open-access compendium of 1,000+ terms for human-AI interaction. ISO-inspired terminology science, DOI-published on Zenodo (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

"Ethology" referring to the study of animal behaviour is about a century old and was (somewhat) popularized through the work of Niko Tinbergen and Konrad Lorenz, which is where I first saw it.
But it never quite caught on. Even now, as de Waal writes, spell-checkers "regularly change it to ethnology, etiology, or even theology".

#Vocabulary selection is important. Sometimes, a change of #terminology is idiotic at best. For example, we abolished #homelessness, now we only have #unhoused. Sorry, WTF? Changing from prostitute to sex-worker, that makes sense, as prostitution has always been tied to bad morals and judgement. Here using the slur argument has merit. I've not really been convinced with the r-word, but for those called such derogitorially, for them the change was #empowering, so I'm happy to run with it. /1

A quotation from George Carlin
The fanatics have another name for fetuses. They call them the pre-born. Now we’re getting creative. If you accept pre-born, I think you would have to say that, at the moment of birth, we go instantly from being pre-born to being pre-dead. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Technically, we’re all pre-dead.
George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian
Book (2004), When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, “Euphemisms: Political-Interest Groups,” “A Bunny in the Oven?”More about this quote: wist.info/carlin-george/80339/

As I found out the videos of the 2nd #Base4NFDI roadshow are now online. If you are interested in #ontology or #terminology integration to web services you could have a look into our demo presentation about the #Terminology Service Suite (TSS). We integrated there two widgets of the TSS to a data repository and created in this way a #semantic search engine and #FAIRdata
