Could a glossary or thesaurus of terms in statistics and machine learning, with short examples and stats.se tags, help non-native speakers to frame questions and find answers?
In particular various areas of ML seem to me (non-expert) to have different jargons:
"the term is semi-supervised learning, not unsupervised learning". Here a semi-supervised glossary would be useful.

(By "native speaker" I mean "fluent in statistics or ML lingo")

Possibly, though it would have to exist here on meta.

A better solution might be to edit the tag wikis for the respective tags with explanations, assuming each term has a tag.
