What's the size of the space of language covered by the Pornhub search engine?
There is some domain of concepts covered on pornhub.
If one is to search words such as "success" - one will receive titles such as: "100% success rate eating pu*y technique" and "our experiment with various bottles and success attempt to insert my most huge monster toys". These are covering only a small part of the meaning of the word "success", but they are still valid and they manage to retain the meaning.
Therefore, my question would be: how could we measure the domain of definition of all possible meanings from the pornhub search engine. Basically to find the "domain of knowledge".
Same we could with other more specialised libraries, such as academic, technical, popular etc.
Searching for "eating p**y" on google scholar results in: "Sustainable production of healthy, affordable food in the UK: The pros and cons of plasticulture" and "In the house of the interpreter: a memoir".
Cheers!

- metadat 4y agoIf you indexed all available titles, you could probably use NLP to parse them into ontological strata. But why? Porn titles are dull and repetitive. I predict you'll find the space includes just about every permutation of every combination of human proclivity.
- toombowoombo 4y agoPornhub was just an exaggerated example to explain the big differences in the domains of words in languages. I got curious in general about how one could encode all the knowledge in a system, whatever the system. In my mind I perceive this question as an extention of the intormation theory concept of measuring the transmitted information.

- cosmodisk 4y agoThe stuff that got deleted should have never been there to start with, so that's quite a positive thing
