Appendix B English and Chinese terminology

← All chapters

The glossary gives the meaning used in this report. Translations are intended to support reading rather than impose a universal terminology standard. Some fields use alternative Chinese terms, especially for entity resolution, grounding, and reasoning. When a term has several meanings, the report states the relevant setting in the surrounding text.
