I am quite sure we didn't mention collision entropy in our information theory classes.
Well, I don't know much about information theory. I got a C in it at the university.
Why do you think my work is "science fiction"?
What does "no bus stop in sight" mean?
Let's say we have a string "abb". What is the probability that, if you randomly choose two characters from it, you have chosen equal characters?...
Well, yes, it definitely looks sciency. Most of the people on forums about linguistics consider it pseudoscientific, and I am not sure why. It seems...
Sure. There are two equivalent definitions of collision entropy: 1. Collision entropy is the negative logarithm of the probability that, if you...
I am glad this forum has not died in the meantime, but I was hoping for a more meaningful response.
In a paper I published in Valpovački godišnjak and Regionalne studije, I measured the collision entropy of 5 languages: English, German, French,...
In Croatia, the first two consonants in many river names are 'k' and 'r', respectively: Karašica (two rivers with the same name), Krka, Korana,...
I am 18 right now, by the way. My family is relatively poor and they probably won't be able to send me to a university. They also couldn't have...
It's hard for me to really estimate how much I know. Even after years of learning how to program, I wouldn't know, for example, to program a nice 3D...
So, do you think that my knowledge is useless? I've made that web-app in JavaScript, and that's the only programming language I know well enough to...
I've been trying to learn how to program for a few years. The most complicated thing I've done by myself is a web-app that converts arithmetic...
Anyway, the game has been updated quite a few times since I last posted here. The whole game is now playable in the graphic interface and I have...
In short, although Croatian is a Slavic language, I think there aren't that many Slavic toponyms in Croatia, because, if there were, they would make...
So, what do you guys here think about my alternative interpretation of the Croatian Toponyms? http://flatassembler.000webhostapp.com/toponyms.html I...
Searching for etymologies is fun, so I think that that game will also be fun for the same reason. I'll try to make it understandable by adding those...
OK, I'll make some example for the Part #2. For instance, let's say we have words "two", "ten", "zwei" and "zehn". The words "two" and "ten" belong...
I've decided to try to make a web game about etymology: http://flatassembler.000webhostapp.com/etymologist.html What do you think about it? Is it...
Separate names with a comma.
