Cut shot
A cut shot is a type of shot in several sports.

In golf, it is a shot that, for a right-handed golfer, curves from left to right.  Unlike a slice, a cut shot is intentional.  Compare: fade.

In pool, it is a shot in which the cue ball strikes the object ball off-center, so as to deflect it at an angle.

In volleyball, it is a spike (an attack hit) that is hit from the hitter's strong side and travels at a sharp angle across the net. A cut shot is like a  cross-court hit except that the ball is hit at a much sharper angle. Cut shots are also a much softer hit ball.

In cricket, it is a cross-batted shot by the batsman into the off side, usually the point area or backward of point - see Batting (cricket)#Cut

'Cut' and 'shot' are also terms used in film and film editing.

DoudouLinux
DoudouLinux is a discontinued Linux distribution based on Debian intended for children as young as 2 years old. DoudouLinux is named after the French word doudou which refers to a wubby, which is a comfort object such as a small blanket or a teddy bear.

Comfort object
A comfort object, more formally a transitional object or attachment object, is an item used to provide psychological comfort, especially in unusual or unique situations, or at bedtime for children. Among toddlers, a comfort object often takes the form of a blanket (called a security blanket) or a stuffed animal, doll or other toy, and may be referred to with an affectionate nickname such as “blankie”.

Comfort objects are said to enable children to gain independence and research indicates that these objects have positive effects on children by reducing anxiety in later life.

Outline of machine learning
The following outline is provided as an overview of, and topical guide to, machine learning:

Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of artificial intelligence within computer science that evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory. In 1959, Arthur Samuel defined machine learning as a "field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed". ML involves the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data. These algorithms operate by building a model from a training set of example observations to make data-driven predictions or decisions expressed as outputs, rather than following strictly static program instructions.

Mathematical model
A mathematical model is an abstract description of a concrete  system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in many fields, including applied mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences and engineering. In particular, the field of operations research studies the use of mathematical modelling and related tools to solve problems in business or military operations. A model may help to characterize a system by studying the effects of different components, which may be used to make predictions about behavior or solve specific problems.

Operating theater
An operating theater (or operation theater, OT; also known as an operating room or OR, as well as an operating suite or operation suite) is a facility within a hospital where surgical operations are carried out in an aseptic environment.

Historically, the term operating theater referred to a non-sterile, tiered theater or amphitheater in which students and other spectators could watch surgeons perform surgery. Contemporary operating rooms are usually devoid of a theater setting, making the term operating theater a misnomer in those cases.
