Real Word Embeddings

STOP DOING WORD EMBEDDINGS • WORDS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE VECTORS • HUNDREDS OF DIMENSIONS yet no REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for putting WORDS in SPACE • Wanted to anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called HOMING PIGEONS • “Yes please give me [formula] of something. Please give me [formula] of it” - Statements dreamed up by evil wizards LOOK at what computer scientists have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the GPUs and corpora we built for them (This is REAL embeddings, done by REAL computer scientists): Male-Female Verb tense “Hello I would like [formula] apples please” They have played us for absolute fools

Мем высмеивает word embeddings — представление слов в виде многомерных векторов. На фоне псевдонаучных формул и схем автор утверждает, что компьютерные учёные заставили всех поверить в абсурдную идею, сравнивая embeddings с голубями-почтальонами. Его отправляют как саркастическую реакцию на чрезмерно сложные объяснения, машинное обучение и бессмысленный научный жаргон. EN: This meme mocks word embeddings—the representation of words as multidimensional vectors. Against a background of pseudo-scientific formulas and diagrams, the author claims that computer scientists tricked everyone into believing an absurd idea by comparing embeddings to homing pigeons. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to overly complicated explanations, machine learning, and meaningless scientific jargon.
