Edge Case Handling Protocol

An Edge Case Handling Protocol is a knowledge base protocol that addresses non-standard concept names in knowledge base systems.

• AKA: Exceptional Naming Protocol, Special Case Naming Rule, Non-Standard Name Handler, Naming Exception Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically process Single-Word Names by ensuring concept type clarification in page content.
  • It can typically handle Quoted Work Titles through quotation mark enclosure with type suffixes.
  • It can typically manage Leading Numeral Names while maintaining searchability and sorting behavior.
  • It can typically accommodate Author Citations as prefix elements with clear suffixes.
  • It can typically support Organization Names using entity suffixes like Inc., Labs, Group.
  • ...
  • It can often resolve Acronym-Only Names through infobox clarification or description fields.
  • It can often process Special Character Names starting with symbols or punctuation.
  • It can often handle Multi-Language Names containing non-English characters.
  • It can often manage Version-Numbered Names with numeric identifiers.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Edge Case Handling Protocol to being a Comprehensive Edge Case Handling Protocol, depending on its case coverage.
  • It can range from being a Manual Edge Case Handling Protocol to being an Automated Edge Case Handling Protocol, depending on its processing method.
  • It can range from being a Strict Edge Case Handling Protocol to being a Flexible Edge Case Handling Protocol, depending on its adaptation capability.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Edge Case Handling Protocol to being a Universal Edge Case Handling Protocol, depending on its application scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Concept Naming Conventions for standard cases.
  • It can connect to Validation Systems for exception detection.
  • It can interface with Search Systems for special character handling.
  • It can communicate with Human Reviewers for ambiguous cases.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Single-Word Edge Cases:
    • "AdaGrad" → clarified as Algorithm in infobox
    • "Adam" → specified as Optimizer in description
    • "BERT" → identified as Language Model in content
  • Quoted Work Edge Cases:
    • "Blue Velvet" Film
    • "Romeo and Juliet" Quote
    • "Imagine" Song by John Lennon
  • Leading Numeral Edge Cases:
    • 3rd-Party AI Development Platform
    • 10-fold Cross-Validation System
    • 2-Layer ANN Training System
  • Special Character Edge Cases:
    • .NET Framework Library
    • C++ Programming Language
    • @ Symbol Usage Protocol
  • Citation Prefix Edge Cases:
    • "(Smithers et al., 2019) Dataset"
    • "ACL 2014 Workshop Task"
    • "(NIPS 2020) Competition Benchmark"
  • Organization Entity Edge Cases:
    • Agiloft, Inc.
    • AI21 Labs
    • DeepMind Research Group
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Standard Naming Rule, which handles typical cases.
  • Strict Format Enforcement, which rejects non-conforming names.
  • Automatic Normalization, which forces standard structure.
