is biased in some way...
I was searching for the parsed characters of nomenclature (terminology), and I found an artical named Methods of Automatic Term recognition A Review at http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/kageura96methods.html
These are adjacent sentences on page 18:
A unit which appears relatively more frequently in a specific domanin than in general is likely to be a term of that domain
A unit whose occurrence is biased in some way to (a) domain(s) is likely to be term.
My question is
How do you read the sentence in bold letters? (Paraphrasing or giving examples would be greatly appreciated!)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Maple, A unit whose occurrence is biased in some way to a domain is likely to be a term of that domain. For examples: The word 'digital' sends a picture of an electronic device, which belongs to a binary signal processing domain. The word 'gun' conjures up an image of a weapon domain.

If we encounter a unit (e.g., a word) that brings up an image of a domain (or an image that is associated with a domain), that unit likely belongs to that domain.For examples:
