% Term definitions
\newglossaryentry{Detexify}{name={Detexify}, description={A system used for
on-line handwritten symbol recognition which is described in \cite{Kirsch}}}

\newglossaryentry{epoch}{name={epoch}, description={During iterative training of a neural network, an \textit{epoch} is a single pass through the entire training set, followed by testing of the verification set.\cite{Concise12}}}

\newglossaryentry{hypothesis}{
    name={hypothesis},
    description={The recognition results which a classifier returns is called a hypothesis. In other words, it is the \enquote{guess} of a classifier},
    plural=hypotheses

\newglossaryentry{reference}{
    name={reference},
    description={Labeled data is used to evaluate classifiers. Those labels are called references},
}

\newglossaryentry{YAML}{name={YAML}, description={YAML is a human-readable data format that can be used for configuration files}}
\newglossaryentry{MER}{name={MER}, description={An error measure which combines symbols to equivalence classes. It was introduced on \cpageref{merged-error-introduction}}}

\newglossaryentry{hyperparamter}{name={hyperparamter}, description={A
\textit{hyperparamter} is a parameter of a neural net, that cannot be learned,
but has to be chosen}, symbol={\ensuremath{\theta}}}

\newglossaryentry{learning rate}{name={learning rate}, description={A factor $0 \leq \eta \in \mdr$ that affects how fast new weights are learned. $\eta=0$ means that no new data is learned}, symbol={\ensuremath{\eta}}} % Andrew Ng: \alpha
