boom (third-person singular simple present booms, present participle booming, simple past and past participle boomed)

booms (present singular third-person)
booming (participle present)
boomed (participle past)
boomed (past)

Onomatopoeic, perhaps borrowed; compare German bummen, Dutch bommen (“to hum, buzz”). The sense "a period of economic growth" is generally taken to derive from the sense "a rapid expansion", although other origins have also been suggested.

It can get fast enough that it's hard to see what flashed on your screen though, so it would be nice if chess engines had a feature of persistently showing you what move they planned to play before they boomed, even if it took less than a second for them to figure it out.

2021 January 23, Bram Cohen, “You're doing computer chess game commentary wrong”, in Medium, archived from the original on 2022-12-06:

In its White game Stockfish had various moments of booming during these long thinks, but these long thinks always ended disappointingly in a slightly lower evaluation than it started with.

2022 April 22, Matthew Sadler, “TCEC Season 22 SuperFinal: Komodo Dragon vs Stockfish”, in TCEC, archived from the original on 2022-12-13:

(computer chess, slang) To rapidly adjust the evaluation of a position away from zero, indicating a likely win or loss.


boom

→ German: Boom

Indonesian: bum

→ Japanese: ブーム (būmu)

→ Polish: boom

→ Russian: бум (bum)

Some chess commentators know to excitedly point out when booms happen but they almost universally are missing out on the next step of explaining what the boom meant.

The evaluation boom and moob continued as Stockfish headed for a queen-rook-knight vs queen-rook-knight position that looked pretty nasty to me!

(computer chess, slang) An instance of booming.

moob (third-person singular simple present moobs, present participle moobing, simple past and past participle moobed)

moobs (present singular third-person)
moobing (participle present)
moobed (participle past)
moobed (past)

Inversion of boom (“to rapidly adjust the evaluation of a position away from zero, indicating a likely win or loss”).

from

Stockfish was slightly moobing until Leela played Qf5. An innocuous looking move that immediately sent alarm bells ringing and Stockfishes^([sic]) evaluation just kept rising.

2020 September 20, u/FMExperiment, “Stockfish beats Leela to inflict her first defeat in TCEC season 19 and remains the last undefeated engine!”, in Reddit, r/chess, archived from the original on 2022-10-22:

The time taken for an engine to boom / moob can be quite a while because that time taken is completely dependent on the hardware you're running the program on.

2020 November 27, Allure, “Big changes in engine's evaluation after considerable time”, in Stack Exchange, archived from the original on 2024-05-22:

The reverse was also won uneventfully by LEELA although the fish emotes were numerous in the chat as STOCKFISH 'moobed' to a mere 0.40 evaluation after its 25th move!

2021 May 26, Matthew Sadler, “The TCEC20 Computer Chess Superfinal: a Perspective”, in ICGA Journal, volume 43, number 1, →DOI, pages 74–87:

(intransitive, computer chess, slang) To rapidly adjust the evaluation of a position towards zero, indicating a likely draw.


moob

The latest Stockfish on my laptop finds mate in 22 in less than a minute. Do you have any examples where a boom (or moob) occurs after 2-3 minutes of evaluation?

2020 November 27, the_fox, “Big changes in engine's evaluation after considerable time”, in Stack Exchange, archived from the original on 2024-05-22:

One notable exception to the missing lines being interesting: Sometimes on a moob the sudden insight is 'I'm going to hit the 50 move rule before realizing my advantage'.

2021 January 23, Bram Cohen, “You're doing computer chess game commentary wrong”, in Medium, archived from the original on 2022-12-06:

The evaluation boom and moob continued as Stockfish headed for a queen-rook-knight vs queen-rook-knight position that looked pretty nasty to me!

(computer chess, slang) An instance of moobing.


solvable

Galois theory
Solution in radicals
solvable
Évariste Galois

From solve + -able. Piecewise doublet of soluble.
The mathematical senses derive from Galois theory: Galois discovered that one could determine whether a given polynomial could be solved by radicals by studying the properties of a particular group attached to a particular field extension deriving from the polynomial in question; if the group satisfies some conditions then polynomial can be solved by radicals. Any group meeting these conditions — whether or not it arises from this process — is thus called solvable, as is any field extension giving rise to such a group. The Lie-theoretic sense is by analogy, the study of Lie algebras deriving much of its terminology from group theory. In regular use by the late 19th century.

backtracking

en-noun

backtracking (countable and uncountable, plural backtrackings)

backtracking algorithm

Backtracking is used to solve problems in which a sequence of objects is chosen from a specific set so that the sequence satisfies some criterion. The classic example of the use of backtracking is the n-Queens problem.

2004, Richard E. Neapolitan, Kumarss Naimipour, Foundations of Algorithms Using C++ Pseudocode, 3rd edition, Jones & Bartlett Learning, →ISBN, page 188:

This grammar only uses tokens and rules, so there is no backtracking involved, and the grammar is a predictive parser. This is fairly typical. Many grammars work fine without backtracking, or with backtracking in just a few places.

2017, Moritz Lenz, Parsing with Perl 6 Regexes and Grammars, Apress, →ISBN, page 112:

adicity

From -adic (taken from monadic/dyadic/triadic [function/operator]) + -ity, or alternatively from -ad (taken from monad/duad/triad) + -icity. Compare Latinate equivalent arity, based on -ary.

1997, Robert W. Burch, 13: Peirce's Reduction Thesis, Nathan Houser, Don D. Roberts, James Van Evra (editor), Studies in the Logic of Charles Sanders Peirce, Indiana University Press, page 233,
Equivalently, it says that all relations of adicity greater than 3 may be reduced to relations of adicities 1, 2, and/or 3. The negative component of the Thesis says, first, that relations of adicity 2 may not in general be constructed from (reduced to) relations exclusively of adicity 1; and, second, that relations of adicity 3 and greater may not in general be constructed from (equivalently: reduced to) relations exclusively of adicities 1 and/or 2.

What can be predicted is that the adicity of any syntactic predicate is the same: since its adicity is a grammatical and not a thematic fact, semantic differences between predicates cannot affect their grammatical structure.

2004, Susan Rothstein, Predicates and Their Subjects, Springer, page 47:

2007, Helier J. Robinson, Relation Philosophy of Mathematics, Science, and Mind, Sharebooks Publishing, 2nd Edition, page 68,
We have seen that every relation, without exception, necessarily has a term set, and the necessary properties of simplicity and an adicity: relations without these are impossible, merely nominal.

(logic, mathematics, computer science) The number of arguments or operands a function or operation takes. For a relation, the number of domains in the corresponding Cartesian product.


decidable

en-adj

Prolog has been used for many purposes, but its inventor, Alain Colmerauer, was interested in computational linguistics, and this remains a classic application for the language. Moreover, Prolog offers a number of tools which make life easier for computational linguists, and we are now going to start learning about one of the most useful of these: definite clause grammars, or DCGs as they are usually called.
