TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an open-source machine learning framework released by Google in 2015, expressing ML algorithms as dataflow graphs that run on phones, GPUs, and TPUs.

General

TensorFlow Extended

TensorFlow Extended (TFX) is Google's open-source, TensorFlow-based end-to-end platform for production ML pipelines, launched internally in 2017 as successor to Sibyl, with standard components for data validation, training, and model analysis.

General

TensorRT

TensorRT is an NVIDIA software development kit that compiles trained deep learning models into fast GPU-specific engines for inference, with FP16 and INT8 precision support.

General

Teradata

Teradata Corporation is an American data analytics company founded in 1979 in Brentwood, California, known for its massively parallel shared-nothing database for enterprise data warehousing, first shipped in 1983.

General

Terminator (character concept)

The Terminator, also known as the Terminator robot, is a fictional killer robot built by the AI Skynet, most familiar as the T-800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

General

Test functions for optimization

Test functions for optimization, also called benchmark functions, are artificial mathematical functions with known search spaces and optima on which optimization algorithms are evaluated before application to real problems.

General

Test-time training

Test-time training (TTT) is a machine learning technique in which model parameters are briefly updated on the test input itself during inference, introduced in 2019 for image classification.

General

Text clustering

Text clustering is an unsupervised machine learning method that groups documents so those in the same cluster have similar content, used for organizing and searching large text collections.

General

Text mining

Text mining, also known as text analytics, is the computational analysis of naturally occurring text to discover semantic information, patterns, and trends not stated explicitly in any single document.

General

Text segmentation

Text segmentation is a natural language processing method that divides running text into units such as words, sentences, or topical passages, supporting summarization and passage retrieval.

General

Text simplification

Text simplification is a natural language processing method that automatically rewrites text to make it easier to read, replacing difficult words and splitting long sentences while preserving meaning.

General

Text-mined dataset of inorganic materials synthesis recipes

An open database of 19,488 automatically extracted codified recipes for solid-state inorganic synthesis, published by Kononova, Huo, and Ceder at UC Berkeley in October 2019.

General

Text-to-SQL

Text-to-SQL: translating natural language questions into SQL queries valid for a database schema; also called text2SQL or NL-to-SQL. Covers schema linking, Spider/BIRD benchmarks, execution accuracy, and LLM-era enterprise systems.

General

TextBlob

TextBlob is an open-source Python library for common natural language processing tasks, including sentiment analysis, part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, classification, and spelling correction, first released in 2013.

General

TextRank

TextRank is a graph-based ranking model for text processing, introduced by Rada Mihalcea and Paul Tarau in 2004, that applies a PageRank-style algorithm to words or sentences in a text.

General

Textual entailment

Textual entailment, also known as Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) or Natural Language Inference (NLI), is an NLP task first benchmarked by the PASCAL challenge in 2005.

General

Texture synthesis

Texture synthesis is a computer graphics and image processing method that generates a larger image whose texture matches a small example, used for tiling and hole filling.

General

Tf–idf

Tf–idf (term frequency–inverse document frequency) is an information retrieval weighting scheme, proposed by Karen Sparck Jones in 1972, that weights terms by how well they discriminate documents.

General

The Art of Computer Programming

The Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP) is a multivolume monograph on the analysis of algorithms by Donald E. Knuth, begun in 1962, published since 1968, and planned for seven volumes.

General

The Cancer Genome Atlas

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was a US cancer genomics program of the NCI and NHGRI that characterized over 20,000 samples across 33 cancer types from 2005 to 2018.

General

The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit

The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit (Wiley, 2004) by Ralph Kimball and Joe Caserta; a 528-page guide to ETL system design whose 34-subsystem framework (extracting, cleaning and conforming, delivering, managing) became the standard Kimball ETL architecture reference.

General

The Data Warehouse Toolkit

The Data Warehouse Toolkit is Ralph Kimball and Margy Ross's Wiley book series on dimensional modeling (1996, 2002, 2013 editions), the defining guide to star schemas, facts, dimensions, and Kimball data warehouse design.
