esopt

Definition

A coined abbreviation for a method proposed in one paper, not a general term. The field's convention is to give an approach a short invented label and use it thereafter, so decomposing the letters will not tell you what it does — only the paper's own definition will. A name that returns nothing but a single paper and its citations is almost always of this kind.
