I dislike Probability Calibration because I dislike leading adjectives/modifiers and prefer the main thing to be the first word in the noun phrase (some languages like Hebrew do this). I expect people to be looking for the core thing, e.g. Relationships, “R”, and if you put modifiers in front, e.g. “Business”, “Personal/Interpersonal”, “Romantic”, “Conceptual”, you then require someone to guess which modifier you used, and also split up Relationship tags from being adjacent in an alphabetical list.
There is that, but at the same time, you probably wouldn’t want tags like Experiences (Anticipated) or Induction (Solomonoff). I don’t have any principled argument for this, but to me “Probability Calibration” feels more like one of those examples. It being put alphabetically close to “Probability” may also be good.
(I also keep feeling confused by Relationships (Interpersonal) each time I see it, though that’s probably in part because there’s no other ‘Relationships’, so I just think ‘well what other relationships could you even mean’ and then don’t find another Relationships that it would be contrasted with.)
That’s a fair point to raise. I think it’s more work to give an explicit theory for why those are different. Something like those are both technical terms/jargon and they don’t belong to a broader class of things that we might be discussing. In a world where there were three types of induction we discussed, might then go for Induction (Solomonoff). Also that they’re the actual phrase people use. I don’t think I can remember anyone saying “probability calibration” ever.
With Relationships (Interpersonal), I think it makes sense because to me, the default way to read “relationships” is specifically romantic relationships. Like if your friend says “I’m reading a book about relationships”, what do you assume? To make it clear the tag also covers friendship, family, and work relationships I think actually does require some disambiguation even if the site doesn’t have any other relationship tags right now.

So perhaps we should also have Relationships (Romance)? :)
Indeed. <3
