Closed amirouche closed 4 years ago

amirouche commented 8 years ago

Thanks for this projects it looks very promising.

I'm trying to understand the purpose of semantic space. What is it? How is it built?

Thanks!

Hi! A semantic space is a vector space that contains meaning representations. It is a term used in the context of 'distributional semantics'. I wrote a small intro to distributional semantics here: http://aurelieherbelot.net/research/distributional-semantics-intro/. It should help answer your question, but if not, feel free to ask more questions :)

We have more helpful links here, if you want to dig further into this: http://pearsearch.org/background.html.

Finally, please note that the project has moved to https://github.com/PeARSearch. Please check that repo for latest news, issues, etc.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply.

By the way, I found out about some kind of hash see https://hyper.dev/blog/fuzzbuzz-hash-algorithm.html

I am closing this issue because I need to clean up my github backlog.

Your project is still amazing.
