Labaz
Labaz (Лабаз, Ozero Labaz) is a 470 km² shallow freshwater lake in the North Siberian Lowland, Taymyr Peninsula, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at 72°N 99°E, draining via the Kegerdi River into the Khatanga basin; a relic of an ice-dammed pre-Labaz lake and a permafrost paleoclimate research site.
Labbaik

Labcyte
Labcyte was a San Jose laboratory automation company known for its Echo Liquid Handlers, which transfer nanoliter droplets with sound waves; Beckman Coulter acquired it in 2019.
Labdane-related diterpene synthases
Labdane-related diterpene synthases are plant enzymes that build labdane-type diterpenes from geranylgeranyl diphosphate through class II cyclization to a copalyl diphosphate intermediate and class I rearrangement.
Labé Region
Labé Region, an administrative region of Guinea in the Fouta Djallon highlands of Moyenne Guinée, comprises five prefectures (Koubia, Labé, Lélouma, Mali, Tougué), covers 22,869 km², and had 1,239,897 inhabitants at the 2025 census.
Labeatis Catenae
Labeatis Catenae, a 214 km chain of collapse pits on Mars in the Tharsis region near Labeatis Fossae, IAU-named 1988, imaged by Mars Odyssey THEMIS.
Labeatis Fossae
Labeatis Fossae is a system of graben, or elongated fault-bounded troughs, in southern Tempe Terra on Mars, formed by crustal extension from the Tharsis bulge and named in 1985.
Labeatis Mensa
Labeatis Mensa is a 124.67-km-wide mesa (flat-topped prominence) on Mars at 25.5°N, 285.5°E in the Tharsis region, IAU-named in 1988 from a classical albedo feature, cut by ancient Kasei Valles floods.
Labechiida
Labechiida is an extinct order of calcareous, sponge-like stromatoporoid fossils whose skeletons of cyst plates crossed by pillars appeared in the Middle Ordovician and built reefs.
Label
A label is a piece of material such as paper or plastic carrying information about a product, used to identify contents, carry barcodes, and support branding.
Label design and typography on 78 rpm records
The paper label on a 78 rpm record is the printed center circle carrying trademark, titles, and performers, invented by Eldridge Johnson in the early 1900s.
Label distribution learning
Label distribution learning (LDL) is a machine learning paradigm, proposed by Xin Geng in 2016, that predicts a distribution of description degrees over all labels rather than a single label.
Label Distribution Protocol
The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) is an IETF protocol, defined in RFC 5036, that distributes MPLS label bindings between routers to establish label-switched paths for hop-by-hop forwarding.
Label propagation algorithm
Label propagation is a graph algorithm in which nodes repeatedly adopt the most common label among their neighbors, used for community detection and semi-supervised classification.
Label smoothing
Label smoothing is a regularization technique for training classifiers, introduced by Christian Szegedy and colleagues in 2016, that replaces hard one-hot labels with soft targets, improving accuracy and model calibration.
Label Studio
Label Studio is an open-source data labeling platform developed by HumanSignal that handles images, video, text, audio, and time series from a single configurable editor, creating annotated training datasets for machine learning.
Label transfer
Label transfer is a computational method in single-cell genomics that assigns cell type labels from an annotated reference dataset to cells in a new query dataset.
Label-free quantification
Label-free quantification (LFQ) is a mass spectrometry proteomics method comparing protein abundance across samples by peptide ion intensities or spectral counts, without isotope or chemical labeling.
Label-switched path
A label-switched path (LSP) is the path through label switching routers followed by packets of a forwarding equivalence class in an MPLS network, set up by label distribution.
Labelbox
Labelbox is a San Francisco company founded in 2018 that supplies training and post-training data for machine learning, combining a data-labeling platform with expert human evaluation services.
Labeled Faces in the Wild
Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) is a public database of 13,233 labeled face photographs of 5,749 people, published in 2007 by University of Massachusetts researchers for face recognition research.
Labeling theory
Labeling theory, or social reaction theory, is a criminological perspective from symbolic interactionism holding that deviance results from others applying labels, driving secondary deviance via stigma.
Labelle
Labelle: American all-female vocal group from Philadelphia, formed 1962 as Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles with Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, Sarah Dash, and Cindy Birdsong; glam-funk reinvention produced the 1974 number-one hit "Lady Marmalade" and the gold album Nightbirds.
Labelled enumeration theorem
The labeled enumeration theorem, also called the fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration, translates constructions on labeled combinatorial structures into equations on their exponential generating functions, the labeled counterpart of Pólya's theorem.
LabelMe
LabelMe is an MIT web tool and database for annotating objects in images for recognition research, and an open-source Python desktop application, inspired by it, for building training datasets.
LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner
LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner: performance art collective formed in 2014 by actor Shia LaBeouf, Luke Turner, and Nastja Säde Rönkkö, known for #IAMSORRY, #ALLMYMOVIES, and #HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US.
Laberinto de Fortuna
Laberinto de Fortuna, also known as Las Trescientas, is an allegorical-narrative poem in Castilian completed in 1444 by Juan de Mena for King Juan II of Castile.
