GLOSSARY

aspire

appears in 1 paper titles

Definition

In ordinary English it means to strive toward something, but in paper titles it is nearly always an acronym or system name chosen because it reads as a real word. That naming habit is pervasive in the field and carries no information about the method: the expansion, not the word, tells you what it does. Several unrelated systems can share the spelling, so pin it to a citation before assuming which one is meant.
