Last week, we continued our #ISE2025 lecture on distributional semantics with the introduction of neural language models (NLMs) and compared them to traditional statistical n-gram models.
Benefits of NLMs:
- Capturing Long-Range Dependencies
- Computational and Statistical Tractability
- Improved Generalisation
- Higher Accuracy

Last week, I finished a book that I really liked but the one I followed up with was a letdown so I reckoned I would finally read Elana Ferrante’s “My Brilliant Friend,” which everyone says is so great and it’s on my shelf anyway, bu then I found this old edition of GB Shaw plays and I’m reading that instead, Pygmalion first. It’s very funny — I laughed out loud in Act V. Also — spoiler alert! — it has a better ending than the 1964 film (which I love anyway!).
