And yet, what if you had an entire internet of ungreek like that and spent the equivalent of many human lifetimes reading through it? You would encode your own meaning, just like a large language model does internally. Your encoded meaning might not be quite right in the end, but as the saying goes, all models are wrong, but some are useful.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoHow would you encode meaning by reading a dictionary whose language you don't know? Can you describe it, step-by-step like? I mean, I can imagine opening my hands and levitating but I don't know how to do that in practice. So how would someone encode meaning by reading a dictionary in a language they don't know? In practice?
- pharrington 4y ago> How would you encode meaning by reading a dictionary whose language you don't know? No one claimed you can do this. EnergyAmy and I claim that you will encode meaning of a terms in a corpus after long term exposure to the corpus.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoAnd what is the difference between a dictionary in a language you don't know and a corpus of text in a language you don't know? It's still a bunch of unknown words. How are you going to find out their meanings just by looking at them? Step-by-step please, and show your work. Like ChatGPT.
