California sues Cisco alleging discrimination based on India's caste system
California regulators have sued Cisco Systems, saying that an engineer faced discrimination at the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters because he is a Dalit Indian. Dalits, once called “untouchables,” have long been at the bottom of India’s social hierarchy, considered so inferior that technically they are outside India’s ancient caste system. Inequities and violence against Dalits have persiste

私より前の回答を補足します。 distinctionの形容詞形distinctは、歴然と違っているという意味です。合理的に考えれば違いがわかって当たり前、distinctな事柄には普通とは異なった対応の仕方が許容されます。また科学のように客観性を重視する営みでは、一見しただけでは同様に見える物事同士で、何が違うのかはっきりさせることが目的です。 一方、discriminateは、より細かく論理立てては「これこれが違っている」と説明しにくいような違いを識別することです。discriminating taste inといえば、「～には好みがうるさい」とか「非常に優れた識別眼のある」という意味です。芸術や味覚など感性的、非論理的分野に関連して用いられる語です。 社会関係において、非論理的な差異に基づいて待遇を区別することを差別と呼ぶのは、discriminateの言葉にしにくい違いに反応するとい

We consider training probabilistic classifiers in the case of a large number of classes. The number of classes is assumed too large to perform exact normalisation over all classes. To account for this we consider a simple approach that directly approximates the likelihood. We show that this simple approach works well on toy problems and is competitive with recently introduced alternative non-likel
