相关论文: The Landscape "avant la lettre"
An exposition of the 1918 paper of Latt\`es, together with its historical antecedents, and its modern formulations and applications.
Multilingual parallel texts (abbreviated to parallel texts) are linguistic versions of the same content ("translations"); e.g., the Maastricht Treaty in English and Spanish are parallel texts. This document is about creating an open…
Large Language Models (LLMs) remain substantially less data-efficient than humans. Pre-pretraining (PPT) on synthetic languages has been proposed to close this gap, with prior work emphasizing highly expressive formal languages such as…
Biolinguistics is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the biological foundations, evolution, and genetic basis of human language. It treats language as an innate biological organ or faculty of the mind, rather than a cultural tool,…
The problem of aggregation processes in alignments is the subject of a paper published in a Statistical Physics Journal (Physica A 230 (1996) 174-188). Two models are presented and discussed in that paper. First the energy landscape model…
These notes constitute the basis for the lectures given by the author at Centre de recherches math\'ematiques (CRM) at Universit\'e de Montreal, as part of the thematic semester on "Mathematical challenges in many-body physics and quantum…
A brief, general-audience overview of the history of natural language processing, focusing on data-driven approaches.Topics include "Ambiguity and language analysis", "Firth things first", "A 'C' change", and "The empiricists strike back".
This is the text of a talk given at the Rome Conference "The Birth of the Universe and Fundemental Physics", May, 1994. We present the recent progress achieved in collaboration with A.Linde and D.Linde towards understanding the true nature…
Recent state-of-the-art authorship attribution methods learn authorship representations of texts in a latent, non-interpretable space, hindering their usability in real-world applications. Our work proposes a novel approach to interpreting…
This thesis is concerned with type-logical grammars and their practical applicability as tools of reasoning about sentence syntax and semantics. The focal point is narrowed to Dutch, a language exhibiting a large degree of word order…
This is an essay that considering the knowledge structure and language of a different nature, attempts to build on an explanation of the object of study and characteristics of the mathematical science. We end up with a learning cycle of…
The is the English version of the text of the talk at S\'eminaire Bourbaki on February 16, 2016
A new approach to the problem of natural language understanding is proposed. The knowledge domain under consideration is the social behavior of people. English sentences are translated into set of predicates of a semantic database, which…
This is the written version of a set of introductory lectures on string theory.
These are lecture notes written at the University of Zurich during spring 2014 and spring 2015. The first part of the notes gives an introduction to probability theory. It explains the notion of random events and random variables,…
This study introduces a groundbreaking approach to simultaneous interpretation by directly leveraging the predictive capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). We present a novel algorithm that generates real-time translations by…
This paper explores relations between two separate worlds. They are the algebraic geometry of Alexander Grothendieck and the automorphic representation theory of Robert Langlands. The relation between them would be a very broad example of…
In light of recent discussions of the string landscape, it is essential to understand the degree to which string theory is predictive. We argue that it is unlikely that the landscape as a whole will exhibit unique correlations amongst…
To most mathematicians and computer scientists the word ``tree'' conjures up, in addition to the usual image, the image of a connected graph with no circuits. In the last few years various types of trees have been the subject of much…
In this short talk we review basic ideas of string field theory with the emphasis on the recent developments. We show how without too much technicality one can look for analytic solutions to Witten's open string field theory. This is an…
