I have started some work on SVG graphics and i constantly come across the word ''arbitrary shapes''.
What exactly is an arbitrary shape?

An arbitrary shape is just that.. An arbitrary shape.
The word arbitrary in this context means any as in: not a specified, or specific, kind of shape.
This is not really a programming question though.. But rather an English language question.

I want to do mindmaps which are of the quality of mindmeister that you could include picture and links etc and would be able to export it reasonably well and print it.
I love X-Mind. I don't know if it does what you need, but I only use a small subset of it and still it rocks!
It has a very complete free version that never expires and doesn't contain crapware.

I prefer Freeplane but FreeMind can do the same things:

>>= takes a lot of dashes of the pencil to write down on paper and I always manage to make it look really ugly. Are there more convenient (and hopefully "standard") ways to write down this and other related monadic operators such as return and >=>?

I was reading this paper about conditional random fields and was confused by the "label bias problem" mentioned in the paper. I've looked online for some explanations of it but still don't feel like I have a good grasp of the issue. What exactly is the label bias problem? Can someone provide a clear example of it and why it is bad?

The language in which you define every function and everything as whatever you like. So basically you can program in poetry if you wanted.
This question is vague, but you might be thinking of Forth.
English, or pick your native tongue.
I agree with the comments, sounds like pseudo code. This question really needs a lot more description and maybe an example for people to see.

A few months ago I saw a pie chart of a study showing the trend in new projects as for the language of choice.
The study revealed that the leading language of choice was Java, then C++ then C, and so on. I'd like to find that study if anyone knows where to find it
