The distributional embedding conjecture for intelligent language models
The distributional embedding conjecture for intelligent language models
Let be the set of sentences, let be a causal language model, and let
map each sentence to its output-probability distribution, where is the metric space of absolutely summable real-valued functions on . The distributional embedding conjecture. If is an intelligent language model, then is a discrete embedding: every point has a neighborhood containing no other with . The claim formalizes a distributional version of the linguistic idea that meaning is determined by context; the paper gives no resolution of whether intelligent language models satisfy this property.
