Disambiguation, sliding doors, hallucinations, and madeleines: How transformers process, clarify, and produce language

Disambiguation, sliding doors, hallucinations, and madeleines: How transformers process, clarify, and produce language

Transformers take static vector embeddings, which assign single values to every token, and expand their context, nearly simultaneously as they process the context of every other word in the sentence. But who cares, let's listen to a pop song!

Tokens and vector embeddings: The first steps in calculating semantics for LLMs

Tokens and vector embeddings: The first steps in calculating semantics for LLMs

The first step in natural language processing is creating word-numbers, represented as points in space. If this confuses you, you're not alone. Keep reading.

When words and math collide: Old-school tried and true language processing algorithms

When words and math collide: Old-school tried and true language processing algorithms

Even in the face of "black box" algorithms, the history of artificial intelligence—natural language processing, more specifically—has left plenty of clues.

The front door to discovery: How natural language processing is the key to visibility in LLMs

To put it another way: optimizing with GEO reverse engineering tactics is like entering a house through a small attic window. GEO ignores that the research frameworks literally embedded in the outputs of the model are the keys to the front door.

How to plan content and forecast its impact

You can't predict the future, especially in publishing. You never know exactly which pieces of content will be hits and which will be a waste of time and money. But you can, as the finance folks have taught us, forecast your impact.
