You're right, this is "semantics" of the statistical type. There is no "understanding" involved. Just unsupervised number crunching.

- hotdox 15y agoSorry, but there is no "semantics" of statistical type. You have semantics, or have not.
- Radim 15y agoFair enough, I see you take the linguist's approach :-) You might try googling for "statistical semantics" though ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_semantics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_semantics ). More relevant to HN, there are entire businesses successfully using this (admittedly primitive) notion of "statistical semantics": Chomp.com, SketchEngine.co.uk, SumoBrain.com , PearsonKT.com etc.
