What do you mean by "look it up" if not measure the closest dictionary word by edit distance?
I think you'll find the broader idea of word vectorization to be remarkably similar to what text transformers do.

- sebastiennight 2mo agoYes, I meant, find the closest word by edit distance. I'm unsure where vectorization would factor in here?
- sublinear 2mo agoWhen I made this comment, I was thinking of edit distance embedding (like everyone else in this reply chain) while you're thinking of BK-trees. We're just talking past each other. I agree that a tree is the historical solution. I didn't catch that part.
