Representations that can be computed ultra quickly by leveraging the knowledge of the ancients

[dmarx]

I've heard rumors of traditional nlp techniques used by tribal elders that are able to achieve knowledge representations without even using deep learning. The techniques even sound magical, with names like "bag of words" and "intersection over union". You might be able to find some useful references in the archaeology literature.

Some cuneiform tablets have recently been found with a strange rune on them: ɟpıɟʇ

I wonder what it could mean?
