Multi fate stem cell

Multi fate stem cell (CL:0000048), also called multipotent stem cell, is a Cell Ontology term for a stem cell giving rise to multiple cell lineages, exemplified by hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and neural stem cells.

Multi Fibre Arrangement

The Multi Fibre Arrangement (MFA) was a 1974 GATT-framed trade regime allowing importing countries to impose quotas on textile and clothing imports from specific countries, terminated on 1 January 2005.

Multi Media Interface

Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a panoramic integral-field spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope's Paranal Observatory in Chile, which saw first light in 2014.

Multi-access edge computing

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is an architecture, standardized by ETSI since 2014, that runs applications at the network edge near base stations to achieve single-digit-millisecond latency.

Multi-agent debate

Multi-agent debate is a technique for improving large language model outputs in which several model instances critique each other over rounds before converging on an answer.

Multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient

Multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient, or MADDPG, is a multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm from 2017 that extends DDPG with a centralized critic for each agent.

Multi-agent path finding

Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) plans paths for multiple agents, such as warehouse robots or game characters, so they can move concurrently without colliding, usually on a graph.

Multi-agent proximal policy optimization

Multi-agent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO) is a multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm that extends PPO, using a centralized value function in training and decentralized policies at execution.

Multi-agent reinforcement learning

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is the branch of machine learning in which multiple agents learn, through reinforcement learning, to cooperate or compete in a shared environment.

Multi-agent system

A multi-agent system (MAS) is a system of autonomous software or robotic agents that coordinate in a shared environment, a field growing out of distributed artificial intelligence.

Multi-agent systems (LLM)

A multi-agent LLM system is an arrangement in which two or more large language model instances, each given a role prompt and tools, coordinate on a task.

Multi-angle light scattering

Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) is a static light scattering technique that determines the absolute molar mass and rms radius of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution, often coupled with size-exclusion chromatography.

Multi-armed bandit

The multi-armed bandit (MAB), also called the K-armed bandit, is a sequential decision problem in which an agent must balance exploring new actions against exploiting the best known one.

Multi-attribute rating technique

The multi-attribute rating technique (MART), best known as the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART), is a decision-analysis method that rates alternatives against weighted attributes and sums the scores.

Multi-attribute utility theory

Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) is a branch of decision theory that combines several conflicting criteria into a single utility function, ranking alternatives to choose the best course of action.

Multi-band transmission

Multi-band transmission, also called band-division multiplexing, is a fiber-optic technique carrying traffic in several spectral bands at once, most commonly C+L, to expand capacity of installed fiber.

Multi-cancer early detection

Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) is a screening approach that uses one blood test to look for signals of many cancer types at once in people with no symptoms.

Multi-channel memory architecture

Multi-channel memory architecture, including dual-channel, triple channel, and quad-channel memory, is a design where a processor's memory controller accesses multiple memory channels at once, aggregating their bandwidth.

Multi-channel network

Multi-channel network (MCN), or YouTube MCN: a third-party company affiliating multiple channels for monetization, rights management, and audience development in exchange for a revenue cut; boomed 2012-2014, contracted after, still operates globally.

Multi-chip module

A multi-chip module (MCM) is an electronic package that mounts two or more integrated circuit dice on a shared substrate, shortening interconnects and raising circuit density.
