- anentropic 3y agoalso because googling for "Searchformer" brings up a different paper and model: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0172219023000224 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01722... "Planformer" seems unused and would reduce confusion (also since "Search" implies RAG etc which is not what this model is about)
- krallistic 3y ago"Search" has been the name for the A* space. So it makes absolute sense. "Planning" means in the symbolic AI space often something quite in the direction of PDDL/STRIPS/ICAPS planning.
- nick12r55t1 3y agoT*former or T-star
- evanmoran 3y agoT* (T-star) is a great name.
- shrubble 3y agoIt is the copyrighted name of a lens coating by Zeiss Optical, however.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoT1* and T2* are common terms in magnetic nuclear resonance imaging, suggesting Tn* for any integer n should be free of bullshit IP protection. May I thus suggest T10*, following the pattern of a11y and i18n?

- teleforce 3y agoFunny that you mention RAG since the RAG authors had expressed their regret of not using a much better name and the name stucked once it becomes very popular. On second thought, in the spirit of A* perhaps they can rename it to O' short for Optimus Prime but this probably will break most of the databases in the world [1],[2].

- basil-rash 3y agoI can’t think of any database that doesn’t support the ' character in their varchar.
- remexre 3y agoI think the concern was all the buggy apps that connect to databases will accidentally be getting SQL injected.
- basil-rash 3y agoIf they’re susceptible to injections this is the absolute least of their problems. In fact their DB is already dropped.
- rdedev 3y agoAt this point we need a website cataloging all transformer related names.
- leosanchez 3y agoMegatron would be better IMO.
- verticalscaler 3y agoClearly Megatron because LLMs are decepticons.
- leosanchez 3y agoYes that was my reasoning :)
- wiz21c 3y agojust deceptive

- FooBarWidget 3y agoWouldn't that be a trademark violation?
- nkozyra 3y agoI think Searchformer is kind of catchy. :shrug:
